Publisher's Summary

Tame anxiety and take back control of your life with this "genius" (Cosmopolitan) no-f*cks-given guide from the bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck and Get Your Sh*t Together.

Do you spend more time worrying about problems than solving them? Do you let unexpected difficulties ruin your day and do "what ifs" keep you up at night? Sounds like you need to Calm the F*ck Down.

Just because things are falling apart doesn't mean YOU can't pull it together. Whether you're stressed about sh*t that hasn't happened yet or freaked out about sh*t that already has, the NoWorries method from "anti-guru" Sarah Knight helps you curb the anxiety and overthinking that's making everything worse. Calm the F*ck Down explains:

  • The Four Faces of Freaking Out—and their Flipsides
  • How to accept what you can't control
  • Productive Helpful Effective Worrying (PHEW)
  • The Three Principles of Dealing With It
  • And much more!

Find even more calm with the Calm the F*ck Down Journal.

Not for Me

I am no stranger to the use of foul language. However, the author's constant and repeated use of this type of language actually detracted from her message. Moreover, insofar as actually helpful information regarding coping strategies, this was either absent, or I missed this information entirely. Either way, this does not speak to the notion that this is a well-written book. I kept thinking that the book was written in a fashion quite similar to what one sees with so-called click-bait on the web. Keep on clicking (in this case listening), and I will start telling you how to manage stress and stressful situations. Unfortunately this was not even the case.

I did not find this book useful at all and in fact found the book itself annoying!

LOVE IT!

I have bought all 4 of her books (audiobooks) and I really enjoy listening to them. I think the advise is good, practical and delivered in a fun way. I think Sarah has done a great job of being the narrator of her books as this makes the books even more enjoyable and gives it an extra personal touch! Listening to her audiobooks feels like listening to a friend giving you advise - there's some chuckles, laughs and eye rolling involved BUT also a few things to really think about and take to heart! Can't wait for the next book!

Very Entertaining

I am not an overly anxious or stressed out person, but I recently experienced a level of anxiety I had never gone through before. This book is not for people who have a chronic or medical problem with anxiety. But it can help someone with periods of higher levels of stress who want to learn to deal with it in a concrete step-by-step method kind of way.

Brutally Honest and Hilarious!!!

Anxiety is a hard card to be dealt but Knight does a FANTASTIC job of keeping things light while addressing real issues with real solutions.

10/10 suggest you give it a read!

Sarah made big changes most of us can't afford

Sarah had a funny delivery and kept me entertained, but I wouldn't say I have transformed as a person.

Her premise is simple: when you get wound up - calm the F down. What she will also tell you is she lives in the Caribbean and leads a much different life than the average North America. I'm not faulting her, just re-iterating that it's hard to relate to someone on island time when deadlines are real and stress cannot be avoided.

Honestly, it was funny and one of the more common sense self-help books I've heard - just don't expect to come out the other end a brand new person.

Loved it

I love anything from Sarah Knight. I feel I finally found books that actually help. Maybe it’s the way my brain works but I loved every minute of it. Took a lot away as well.
