"Have you ever felt like a hamster on a wheel, furiously churning your way through life but somehow going nowhere? It seems like there's a barrage of information surrounding us in our everyday lives with the keys to this thing or that thing, be it wealth, success, happiness or purpose. The truth is, most of it fails to capture what it truly takes to overcome our greatest barrier to a greater life... ourselves. What if everything you ever wanted resided in you like a well of potential, waiting to be expressed? Unfu*k Yourself is the handbook for the resigned and defeated, a manifesto for real change and unleashing your own greatness."

My Rating: 3.75/5

This was an interesting read, and I think that trying to read it to quickly made it hard to apply to the day to day of my life. That being said, I do plan on reading the physical copy and taking notes on different ways to apply this to my day to day life. I think we all can acknowledge that at some points in your life you have had such negative self-talk that has been a self-fulfilling prophecy. This book is a bit of a slap in the face, that you are just bullshiting yourself when you say there are things you can't do, even with setbacks you can get to your goals with a plan, and positive self-talk. No waiting around to get to where you need to go. 

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
