What to expect

A brilliant, hilarious homage to The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, showing how to shed your mental clutter for good.

Aimed at overachieving but dissatisfied people everywhere. Sarah's inspirational two-step "NotSorry" program shows how unleashing the power of not giving a fuck will help you shed unwanted guilt and obligations to redirect time, energy, and enthusiasm to your true priorities.

Sarah reveals why giving a fuck about what other people think is your worst enemy-and how to stop doing it; how to sort your fucks into four essential categories; simple criteria for whether or not you should give a fuck (i.e. "Does this affect anyone other than me?"); and the two keys to successfully not giving a fuck without also being an asshole.

So, get rid of the mental clutter, ditch the perfectionism and create the life you want - for good.

Critics Review

  • This book will help you redefine what really matters

    Stylist

  • The best book I have read recently . . . Absolutely blinding. Read it. Do it

    Mail on Sunday

  • Every woman's handbook

    Evening Standard

  • Life-affirming . . . The key practice she advocates is devising for yourself a "f**k budget" . . . It's a beautiful way of streamlining your psyche

    Guardian

  • I love Knight's book before I even start reading . . . the book works a charm

    Sunday Times Magazine

  • Genius

    Cosmopolitan

  • Her book wooed me with this line: "Hot yoga? Don't give a downard f***!" She has some frank advice . . . Bite me off a piece of that, I think

    Style, Sunday Times

  • Yes, it's a parody of a cult book . . . but it's something more, too. Knight acknowledges the overwhelmingness of the modern world in a different way to many before her

    Guardian

  • Changed my life. To this day, I think about how it schooled me in the fine art of giving less f*cks about people (and party invites) who don't really matter to me, and saving my precious time and energy for those who do. I wasn't alone - the book became an international bestseller

    Vogue

  • My new saviour . . . hilarious

    Psychologies

  • This kind-of-genius parody of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up might actually change your life

    Women's Health

  • Light relief . . . thoroughly modern self-help book

    Independent on Sunday

  • After reading this book cover-to-cover and compiling a list of ten things I don't give a f*** about (Kanye West and exfoliation figured pretty highly), I realise how wonderfully liberating it is to stop apologising for things I'm not sorry about

    Red

  • Unashamedly funny, honest and practical book . . . sounds pretty darn tempting to us . . . And it makes you laugh. Bring it on!

    Heat

  • [A] mix of Oprah Winfrey-style mantras and Amy Schumer-esque obscenities

    Elle

  • Self-help with an edge

    Vogue

  • A funny take on that very popular cleaning up book, but so much more. It's about taking care of yourself and not giving a f*ck what people think of your choices (but without being an a**hole). This book is kicking ass all over bestseller lists. Buy it. You won't be disappointed

    Jen Kirkman

  • This year's must-read [self-help] title

    The Sun

  • The self-help equivalent of a Weird Al parody song. (That's a compliment.)

    The New York Times Book Review

  • Hilarious and liberating

    Fashion Me Now

  • There are some really genius life lessons to be learnt, such as ditching "bikini body" guilt and embracing the NotSorry Method.

    Elle Australia

  • The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F--k stands out from the self-help pack not only for its frank language and sense of humour, but also because it is about less in a culture of more.

    Daily Life

  • Perfect for any woman who's finding the festive season a bit too much

    The Sun

  • Highly amusing

    Mslexia

  • The missing life manual that everyone should get at birth. It should be required reading in school . . . Sarah Knight is like a modern-day Mary Poppins for mental clutter . . . And her spoonful of sugar is her wicked sense of humour. Every household needs her . . . or at least a copy of her book . . . Outstanding

    How to GYST

  • For practical and sweary self-help advice with no bloody lectures, Sarah Knight is the bollocks
