Publisher's Summary

Fresh, funny, and fearless, The Middle Finger Project is a point-by-point primer on how to get unstuck, slay imposter syndrome, trust in your own worth and ability, and become a strong, capable, wonderful, weird, brilliant, ballsy, unf--kwithable you.

"Don't worry, this isn't a book about God, nor is it a book about Ryan Gosling (second in command). But it is a book about authority and becoming your own." (Ash Ambirge)

After a string of dead-end jobs and a death in the family, Ash Ambirge was down to her last $26 and sleeping in a Kmart parking lot when she faced the truth: No one was coming to her rescue. It was up to her to appoint herself. That night led to what eventually became a six-figure freelance career as a sought-after marketing and copywriting consultant, all while sipping coffee from her front porch in Costa Rica.

She then launched the Middle Finger Project, a blog and online course hub, which has provided tens of thousands of young "women who disobey" with the tools and mindset to give everyone else's expectations the finger and get on your own path to happiness, wealth, independence, and adventure.

In her first audiobook, Ash draws on her unconventional personal story to offer a fun, bracing, and occasionally potty-mouthed manifesto for the transformative power of radical self-reliance. Employing the signature wit and wordsmithing she's used to build an avid following, she offers paradigm-shifting advice along the lines of:

  • The best feeling in the world is knowing who you are and what you're capable of doing.
  • Life circumstances are not life sentences. If a Scranton girl who grew up in a trailer park can make it, so can you.
  • What you believe about yourself will either murder your chances or save your life. So why not believe something good?
  • You don't need a high-ranking job title to be authorized to contribute. You just need to contribute.
  • Be your own authority. Authority only works as long as you trust that someone smarter than you is making the rules.
  • The way you become a force is by being the most radically real version of yourself that you can be.
  • You only have 12 f--ks a day to give, so use them wisely.

What the critics say

"I f*cking love a woman who knows what she wants and how to get it—and even better, is willing to share her secrets so we can all get ours too. Ash Ambirge is a whole mood, and trust me: you want to be in it." (Sarah Knight, New York Times best-selling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck)

"If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? Ash is here to help you see that you have more chances to make a ruckus than you ever thought possible." (Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing)

"Every woman who has felt even an iota of dissatisfaction in her life needs to read this book. Ash’s insight and wisdom is a gift to us all." (Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop)

So fun to listen to. Incredible narration!

I love when authors really put their personalities into the narration, and this was easily one of the best audiobooks I've listened to, for the sheer fun of it! I honestly usually love tragic and seering memoirs, (book cover words not mine! ) and this is fluffy and inspirational, but I still totally fell in love with it! I laughed a lot and loved hearing Ash's personal story of transformation. Felt like listening to a hilarious friend retell her life and lessons learned, tongue in cheek.

Not Just For Women

While this book is heavily skewed towards the female side of the gender spectrum, don't sleep on it just because you don't fit that mold. The story Ash tells in this book is something that can pick up and inspire anyone who is unsure of themselves, who forget how to care for themselves, or simply suffer from imposter syndrome. Well worth the listen, and Ash herself is as charming as a narrator gets. This was just the book I needed this year.

catchy title that does not deliver

Pros
- voice is engaging and enthusiastic

Con
- hardly addresses imposter syndrome
- no real insights provided, just mashed up trendy words
- definitely not worth 1 credit , or time wasted, if you are looking for personal development.
