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
