About this listen

Compelling and straight-shooting wisdom for coping with whatever challenges life throws at us from the New York Times best-selling author of Unfu*k Yourself.

In Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop taught millions of listeners how to silence the negative, self-sabotaging voice in their head to thrive. In Wise as Fu*k, he expands on his ideas, redefining what it means to be wise and showing how to tackle problems and improve our lives and those of others.

When the storms of life hit us, many of us don’t know what to do - whether it’s losing a job, suffering a broken heart, or just feeling a lack of purpose. We need wisdom to help us navigate forward.

While the internet is full of seemingly good advice, it isn’t helping us actually change our lives. Wise as Fu*k breaks through the bullshit, providing insight to inspire us in the four areas we need it most: love, loss, fear, and success.

Written with his widely admired no-nonsense style, Wise as Fu*k provides a welcome fresh perspective to help us transform how we approach a variety of life’s problems. But Bishop makes clear, the work doesn’t stop there. Now that you’ve unfu*ked yourself and and are wise as fu*k about these touchy areas, you can apply the lessons to make a positive impact on the world.

Fantastic easy read

I’m no snowflake. This had my eyes watering with self awareness. It’s the kind of thing you need to listen to several times and it will never get old. Well done Gary!

The pep talk we all need.

I may be biased as I’ve literally written a program called “Be.Do.Have: The way of rethinking happiness” but this book is bang on! I loved pretty much every word of it. It flowed beautifully, was very understandable and relatable, and, without fluff, gets right to the core of how we can be.

Straight Forward and Wise as Fu*k

Love Gary's to-the-point style of writing. This book is a great length with the perfect amount of reality checks... minus the diabetic inducing sugar-coated ear candy. It lights a fire to continue to do better for myself... for others... for life... through personal accountability and action. Simply Brilliant.

Could easily be called Wake the Fu*k up

There are several take aways layered in this book, each as significant as the rest. Have a mirror handy, as you’ll have plenty of reasons to look at yourself long and and hard as you absorb the hard hitting truths Gary offers. A definite repeat listen.
