The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck: How to Stop Spending Time You Don't Have with People You Don't Like Doing Things You Don't Want to Do by Sarah Knight
1.0
The life-changing magic of being a passive aggressive asshole.
I honestly can't tell if this book is meant as a) a "cool" guide to life or b) satire on books that tell you how to live your life.
I struggle to fully believe it's a) because the advice in it doesn't really extend beyond the title of the book. Some of the suggestions included are just idiotic; one example goes something like "if your friend asks you to go to an art gallery and you don't want to go just tell them you have a policy against art galleries and that's it, no questions asked! Really? That's such transparent bullshit and I'm sure your friend would appreciate you just being straight up with them.
And, I struggle to believe it's b) because I'd hope that a successful satirical book would manage some better attempts at comedy than just using the word 'fuck' literally every other sentence. I'm no prude, I swear all the time, but I don't pretend that makes me a comedian.
