Eh, might pick this back up later but this whole "it's all in your mind" bullshit wasn't jumping out at me.

Have you ever felt like a hamster on a wheel, furiously churning your way through life but somehow going nowhere? It seems like there’s a barrage of information surrounding us in our everyday lives with the keys to this thing or that thing, be it wealth, success, happiness or purpose. The truth is, most of it fails to capture what it truly takes to overcome our greatest barrier to a greater life…ourselves. What if everything you ever wanted resided in you like a well of potential, waiting to be expressed? Unfu*k Yourself is the handbook for the resigned and defeated, a manifesto for real life change and unleashing your own greatness.

This is definitely much more of an... aggressive (?) self-help book than I'd regularly turn to, but sometimes that can be a bit more helpful to drive some constructive points home. I don't agree with everything in this book, and I'm not a huge fan of the Marcus Aurelius/ "stoics" quotes interspersed throughout the text, and that's fine! I'm sure it'll work for someone out there. All in all, intense yet helpful book, just not exactly my cup of tea.
