What to expect
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.

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

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

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

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

My new saviour . . . hilarious

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

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

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

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

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

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

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