Let this book help you find peace with the challenges that surround you.
Because they are f*cking everywhere.We all have an inner voice. Sometimes it’s just not quite as serene as we’d like.
Based on the viral video that had everyone from yogis to workaholics raving, F*ck That is the completely truthful and oddly tranquil guide to achieving your inner peace.
F*ck That is just the sort of sweary self help book that fits my personality. I would be lying if I said I didn’t envision punching at least one person every day…even on my good days. I wouldn’t say I’m ‘angry’, but I do really appreciate a good therapeutic mental image of me throat punching someone. Take that as you will. So of course a humorous self help book called Fuck That caught my eye, I feel like if I didn’t request it I’d be betraying some part of myself.
It’s super short and mostly meant for a good laugh, but the meditation thoughts are still there so there isn’t any reason why you couldn’t learn to center yourself and stop wanting to pummel people. I have to say I’m sort of in love with this. I read like four times the same day I got it in the mail, not because I need that much deep breathing but because I was laughing so hard. I mean it may not be for actual mediation purposes, but the fact that “Think of something that makes you want to choke a motherfucker…” is a line pretty much makes me forget why I was even mad to begin with, so I’d say it works.
The photography in it is quite pretty as well, and adds to the ridiculousness of it. The price is a bit steep for a book this size ($14) but I’m tempted to buy a couple as gifts for my fellow swear loving people who probably need a break from all the mental aggression.
This sounds hilarious. I almost daily envision my landlord (who lives downstairs) making some big muscle guy mad and getting punched. Heh heh. I always see those people getting pummeled by someone else, I wonder what that means? Except my ex, yeah, I wanted to personally punch him in the head while he was sleeping quite frequently. 😀
I absolutely love the idea of this! If I see it in the shop, I’ll be buying it. It sounds fun but also I think I’d find it practical too 🙂
