From the Back Cover
‘Everyone can relate to F**k It.’ The Times.Wisdom is sometimes found in the most surprising places. In this case, bestselling author John C. Parkin and Gaia Pollini unlock the wisdom of simply saying ‘Fuck It’. This book offers short, inspirational thoughts that you can use to bring the wisdom of Fuck It into your life – for example, ‘Say F**k It and accept everything just as it is’ – all illustrated to give you something to look at and enjoy as well as to contemplate. The Way of F**k It is not for everyone: residents of Tonbridge Wells might not approve. But for everyone else, transformation can now come from a four-letter word. Well, a four-letter word followed by a two-letter word. John C. Parkin, the son of Anglican preachers, realised that saying Fuck It was as good as all the eastern spiritual practices he’d been studying for 20 years. Having said Fuck It to a top job in London, he escaped to Italy to set up the retreat centre The Hill That Breathes, where he now teaches regular ‘Fuck It Weeks’ with his wife Gaia. He writes regularly on his website (thefuckitway.com) and has been featured on T.V., such as The Graham Norton Show, and in the national press, including The Guardian, The Observer, The Times, Psychologies, Cosmopolitan and Red Magazine.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant....
This book is utterly brilliant and makes a great gift - guaranteed to raise a smile it is based on solid and sound prinicples. This is the shortened cartoon version of the longer book. Buy it, and read it often, and say "F**k It" as often as you can to all the little annoyances in life, and feel yourself become a bit lighter.

Pearls of wisdom wrapped in humour..
This book has a way of making everything simple in a way that makes you laugh. Its the kind of book you can dip into and find something that will apply to whatever you're feeling at that moment and remind you to lighten up. The basic philosophy is that if you just relax, things generally get easier and more fun. It'll make a great stocking filler for all those grumpy men and women out there!

still smiling!
A great little book. You kinda read these pages, saying - yes, yes, yes, gotta do that. But while some of these cartoons and wee sayings/phrases made me smile, others I took too seriously; 'ooo my, I can't do that...'

And then I realised, that's the point! it made me think about the attachment thing and who I am. In the most simple way the pages and cartoons and words hold up a mirror to all those things you think you should do either has a bohemian or a 'serious' senior/middle manager (or whatever responsibilities we hold down or up), but the emphasis is not on who you are, or what you do, or what your balance is, what you want to be, its all about the 'should' problemo... how to break 'the should'? This book has humour delivered by instructionlets to do something or try something - it goes to the heart of 'the should' thing. Marvellous.
