The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck by Sarah Knight (2015) 208 pages
Sarah Knight's parody of Marie Kondo's Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up is a winner. Not only does Knight extend the parody throughout the book, what she says really makes sense. We only have a certain amount of time, energy and money, and one has to limit the items and activities that one says yes to. Knight's book teaches us how to evaluate the different categories of things that ask for our time, energy and/or money (Things; Work; Friends, Acquaintances, and Strangers; and Family), and how to decide what we really care about. She also gives us tools to use, such as the NotSorry Method, in order to free ourselves from doing activities that we don't enjoy, which she assures us won't hurt the feelings of others, if done right. I enjoyed her irreverent tone, and found the book useful, too.
