HarperOne Wise as Fu*k: Simple Truths to Guide You Through the Sh*tstorms of Life

Didn’t think I’d like this book at first but glad I purchased and read it. It’s basically cut and dry and telling you everything you need to know!

Gary John Bishop is a motivational genius. His books are some of the best encouragement in the 21st century. In his third book, he touches on wisdom.  In one section he writes..."Yes, I'm fully aware that I write books that are typically found in the self-help section of the bookstore. But what sets this apart is we're not just putting a metaphysical Band-Aid on your issues. Rather, we're getting real with how you live your life and what it looks like to start building something new. A new life based on a solid foundation of principles and ideas. Wisdom."You see this isn't your Proverbs type wisdom or even a typical Self-Help book rather its a book about the real every day wisdom that grips you by the reigns and gets through your life. If you've liked his previous books then you will like this book. If you've never read any of his books? They're all great! Of all the motivational-swearing authors, I like Gary John Bishop the best. He swears only at the appropriate time unlike some who swear far too much.

This one is good, his other books try to do the same 'shock factor and blunt speak' but they miss the mark. I recommend this book, but his others are 3* at best.

I'll be honest I found this read disappointing. The first 2-3 chapters are just talking about whats going to be in the book... and the rest of the book feels recycled from his other books. I loveeeeed his first 2 books... I hope the new one coming out is better.

Very disappointed. I felt insulted, not by the swear words, but the way he says we are narcissistic, losers, superficial, living an unimportant life, etc if we are reading his book.Really? How does he knows why we buy his books? Because we are probably not good at anything and playing victims?He does need to get off his high horse and stop writing these kind of F..…. G Idiotic books that teach nothing important and treat his readers like losers.
