Lean the F*ck Out: How to Aim Lower, Get Less Done, and Find Your Happiness - Hardcover

by Talia Argondezzi (Author)

Say "hell no!" to saying yes to everything with the help of Lean the F*ck Out

Just don't do it. From the mental load to the laundry load to the everyday load of BS--you carry it all and then some. You're killing it at work, cooking super healthy sh*t at home, parenting like it's an Olympic sport, saving the Earth one paper straw at a time, and still going to bed feeling like you should have done more.

Time to join the revolution. Hop off the hamster wheel of endless guilt and responsibilities and start enjoying the kind of calm that would make a Buddhist master blush. Talia Argondezzi's Lean the F*ck Out is a joyful manifesto on the benefits of using shortcuts, delegating like a checked-out boss, failing at things that don't matter, and claiming your joy. All you have to do is:

- Be a B student for once in your perfection-driven life.
- Let some things slide. (Really. It's okay.)
- Untangle your self-worth from your achievements.
- Make time for that good, good sh*t.
- Say goodbye to burnout and feel like yourself again.
