About this item

Its time to stop giving a sh*t! Be calm... Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled...and thats an order! Were overwhelmed with these sorts of commands, and we often torture ourselves to "try harder," yet somehow we never feel weve done quite enough. Its about time we stop pushing ourselves to do what we think were supposed to do, and instead simply allow ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate - to stop giving a shit, and just be. An international best seller (now in English for the first time) , The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t by Fabrice Midal explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses - and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break. He gives listeners permission to: Stop obeying - you are intelligent Stop being calm - be at peace Stop wanting to be perfect - accept lifes storms Stop rationalizing - let things be Stop comparing - be you Stop being ashamed - be vulnerable Stop tormenting yourself - become your own best friend Stop wanting to love - be benevolent One of the worlds leading teachers of meditation and mindfulness, Midal offers us a new solution to the perennial problem of our too-much, too-fast modern life. Its OK, he urges us, to say no. Its fine to quit the things that dont fulfill you. Its necessary, in fact, to give ourselves a break and say, simply, cest la vie. In The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t, Midal gives each of us permission to stop doing the things that dont make us happy...so we have room in our lives for the things that do.
