Before Mark Manson published his Subtle Art, Sarah Knight had released the same topic with an all-too-similar title.

According to Knight herself, an inspiration for her book (and unintentional title) is Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

The book helps the reader identify and prioritize the things you should and shouldn’t give a fuck about. We give way too many fucks according to Knight. For a happier and more comfortable life, it’s good to get rid of many of those joyless fucks and get more committed to the fuck you do care about.

Knight categorizes the fuck into 4 groups: Things, Work, Friends and Family. Each of these categories are explored by Knight and for each she comes up with an approach.

Halfway through the book, I called it a day and flipped through the rest of it. Fuck It. There’s no point in reading it anymore.
