Joining the ranks of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, You Are a Badass, and F*ck Feelings is this refreshing, BS-free self-empowerment guide that offers an honest, no-nonsense, tough-love approach to help you move past self-imposed limitations.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf*cked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f*cking miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

In Unf*ck Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions:

I am willing
I am wired to win
I got this
I embrace the uncertainty
I am not my thoughts; I am what I do
I am relentless
I expect nothing and accept everything

Lead the life you were meant to have - Unf*ck Yourself.

After reading a few self help books I found this one actually hit me in a positive way and helped me get out of a serious rut. I recommend this book and plan on reading it again just to really cement the words in my head. Enjoy!

Well done.. very good read ..modern look at how we think and what stops us from getting what we want out of life. And that is to get out of our heads and back into life by taking action.. with more doing in the present.. planning for future and less thinking about past days that are gone forever.

Great book: Does as advertised and will (probably) make you laugh in the process.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 16, 2018

A great book - met my expectations and I got a few good laughs in from time to time. Generally, I only give things that meet my expectations 4-stars, but the way that this book has helped me makes it five-star for sure.

The foundations of what he talks about are basic, but I think that's the point.

In theory, it's easy to "get out of your head". However, for people like myself, the actual practice of getting out of your head is what I've always found difficult. This book provides basic, easy to understand, methods that I can already say have helped me get out of my head more and (even better) fall asleep faster at night.

I will say this: don't expect a long read. The font is large, margins are thick, I think it's double spaced, and every fifth page (roughly) is a quote. I'm a reader who, up until recently, rarely reads books at all and was able to get through this book in a week and a half by reading about a chapter a night.

TLDR: A short, easy read that met my expectations, made me laugh, and has already helped me "get out of my head".

Got this book used, very good shape, no rips or anything. A few pages were dog eared, and a few small marks with a pen marking things (small arrows or underlined) but nothing to worry about. Very happy with my purchase

I found this book is a good thing to start your way out you are. I can say 3 chapters were helpful for me. But if you feel good with who you are and you are on a right track don't read it because he mainly mentions that you are in the wrong way and you should change.

None of the “positive thinking” bs

None of the “positive thinking” bs. It’s more a stop (what you’re doing), look (at reality), and take action. Relentlessly.

It is a good book, but it is very basic. I recommend it for readers who are beginners in self help books.

A Muddy Intro to Many Ideas

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am going to dare to be critical whilst still awarding a 3-star review. In summary, this is a great introduction to an assortment of philosophical ideals: some that have been around since the ancient Greeks and some being developed in the modern age: existentialism, stoicism, epistemology, ontology, etc. For those not versed in philosophy, many of these ideas may be new and interesting. Unfortunately, Gary doesn't reference some of these philosophies for your further reading but this is understandable as his focus is on coaching you to overcome yourself not to be a literary scholar. For little more than ~$10 and a few hours of reading, give it a shot and see if you learn something. As much as I am going to be critical, the book has its utility and will be useful to some of its readers, so who am I to tell you not to read it? You should read everything and challenge it--the pursuit of knowledge means to never stop engaging in the dialogue.

One of my biggest gripes with this text is that Gary seems to contradict himself throughout it and complicates his overall message. He is adamant that this is not another self-help book that focuses on positive thinking; however, it is one of the first concepts he introduces. In sum, he teaches that assertive language affects emotions, feelings, and ultimately decision making and that one should engage in healthy inner dialogue. He also later bashes the quote, "Change your thoughts, change your life," calling it bullsh*t. Where he is attempting to go with this is to say that actions speak louder than words and no matter what you think, unless you take action, your life will not change.

Okay, this is fine but he took a six-word quote and said it was invalid over the course of ~200 pages. The problem is that he views ideas singularly and criticizes them in isolation; however, if you took any one of his chapters singularly, it would contradict his overall philosophy. For instance, positive self-talk is useless without his later instructions on asserting and acting on them. Overall, I think the overt criticism of other ideas throughout the text followed up with very similar approaches hurt the message Gary was trying to send to his readers. You may find yourself confused or frustrated without having a deeper understanding of some of the philosophies on which Gary touches. In the end, Gary pulls it together but it may take a while to see the differences he is attempting to portray--the book could have been more concise and focused.

Another gripe would be that on page 21 he tells you that if you are easily offended not to read his book and to give it away immediately. The very next page he claims, "I have designed this book to be as accessible and useful to as many people as possible." Really, is anyone proof-reading this thing? Look, if you're going to be a self-help coach how can you tell the people who may need to hear your words the most, to shove off? This move was very Nietzsche-esque in that he believed he was a writer for everyone and yet no one at the same time. But Nietzsche was writing critical philosophy and engaging his own ideas--he wasn't writing it for them and that's why he didn't care if anyone read what he wrote. Gary, is writing for the people who he believes need help--that is his profession. So why scare away people who need the help?

TLDR: This book is a bit all over the place but does come together in a way that you will be able to understand by the end. If you are not well versed in philosophy and psychology, give it a go as it won't cost you an arm and a leg or too much of your time. Gary, I think you're doing good work but would encourage you to collaborate with some colleagues on condensing your thesis. I would also advise you to encourage your readers/clients while staying true to your no-bullsh*t approach as these do not have to be mutually exclusive.

🎶Last night a bishop saved my life🎶

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 11, 2020

This book is a really good easy read. I found myself feeling as though I wasnt living in the reality of life anymore, I felt like everyone else around me was in another dimension and I was just exsisiting trying to get buy every single day in my own little bubble; I was aware things needed to change, and change soon.
As a single mother of two young daughters I need to be the best possible to show them how to grow and be successful strong women; therefore needed to practice what I preached. I searched on the internet and 'UNFUCK YOURSELF' court my eye.
Since the book was delivered I havent out it down - it really captured my attention and got me thinking like nothing ever before, during and since reading Gary Bishops book I have been a regular at the local GYM using the gym and pool daily, havent had a drink or even a cigarette, and have been motivated in all areas of my life.
Morning now feel like a breeze; those small tasks before getting the kiddies to school no longer feel like long detestable chores, house work has become enjoyable! Yeah you heard ENJOYABLE! and I am currently rewriting my CV and covering letter to go out there and find myself a ew job to get saving for that holiday, wherever it may be.
I just want to say a massive THANKYOU to Gary Bishop for giving me a massive kick up my self dwelling ass and teaching me how to get out of my glorious thoughts and on to the actual reality I now call life :)
Now off to my first pole dancing lesson!
