I absolutely loved the tone of this book. There were so many exercises to help the reader put the lessons into practice.

There are probably at least a half dozen books on mindfulness published every day. Many of them are difficult to read, the authors are full of themselves, and the subject matter is treated as if it is serious as f*ck. In this book, Horn makes mindfulness easy, and she definitely doesn't act as if you have to climb to the mountain top and seek out a guru to attain it.

Horn's humor and snark are greatly appreciated, and if you don't know much about the topics she covers (yoga, meditation, reiki, chakras, pranayama, and other mindfulness practices) this might be a good place to start. The book is broken down into 100 exercises, most of which are guided meditations, guided breathing exercises, or yoga asana (which would be better learned with the guidance of a trained teacher--or at least with a video). There are a few other exercises--such as setting a daily intention, self-care, and journaling--that could have been explored more fully. I got the sense that there was a goal (100 exercises) and we lost out on quality for the sake of quantity.

If you have never read about mindfulness, or have been turned off by serious books on the topic but would really like to learn more, this might be a good place to start. For those who have already started on the path, there isn't anything new to learn here.

Even before the COVID pandemic, 2020 was going to be all about getting my mental health together. My anxiety was so bad, I was starting to have physical symptoms and kept showing as hypertensive during doc appointments. I cut back on salt, started meditating, and got more sleep, but the anxiety wouldn’t go away.

Luckily, I have good drugs now, but I don’t want to rely on them solely. This book was helpful and funny, and it uses the work f*ck a whole lot. To me, that’s the perfect recipe for a book about mindfulness. I love its snarky tone. I’m sarcastic by nature and often bitter cynicism is what gets me through the day, and I’m way likely to listen to a book that shares my overall tone.

I love that it takes a very serious subject and encourages you to get over yourself enough to do it. It’s almost like it takes something serious and makes it not serious, but only to make it approachable so that you can actually use the tools in its pages. Mindfulness and meditation often conjure images of yogis or wealthy white women in athleisure, but really, it can help us common folk deal with our very real shit, and approaching it in a mindful as f*ck way can help encourage us to stick with it.

This one is out now, so grab a copy from your favorite, local bookstore or request at your library if you have no chill and need to get some.

I would absolutely buy this book. It has so many helpful tips that I would use on a day to day basis no matter what type of lifestyle I lead.

This book was a fun little distraction. As far as originality, there really wasn't anything that set it apart from similar titles. I did adore the comedic timing of the curse words throughout the book, and the author was pretty funny. She made, what can seem like, a heavy and confusing topic simpler.

Mindful As F*ck 100 Simple Exercises to Let That Sh*t Go! by Emily Horn
Publisher: Adams Media, Simon & Schuster
Genre: Self-Help
Release Date: October 20, 2020

Mindful As F*ck by Emily Horn contains 100 easy exercises to help with mindfulness. I love the author's straightforward approach to this topic and the use of humor and snark to make it more relatable.

Sarcasm & profanity are my love languages and this book reached me on all the levels. The author made all my struggles with my mindfulness journey seem normal and definitely resolvable!

The book offers a light overview of the following topics: Meditation, Yoga, Buddhism, Ayurveda, Reiki, Chakra Healing, and the Law of Attraction. These overviews are not an in-depth study, but offer enough information to get you started and in my case make me curious and want to learn more about some. Keeping in line with the theme of the book, these overviews are funny, snarky and easy to understand.

I look forward to trying the exercises. The explanations are clear and easy to follow.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is on a mindfulness journey. This book is funny and relatable and made me feel better for my struggles.

I'm so grateful to Emily Horn, Adams Media & Simon & Schuster, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I'm not big into Yoga, so that's why I didn't give this 5 stars, but I loved all the information it gave on Chakras and other terms I sort of knew about, but not really. I think it's a great book if you need the motivation to get yourself grounded. It was very big on helping let shit go and allowing your anxiety to work in your favor. It made me want to take up a musical instrument, origami, yoga, and needlepoint. Overall I thought it was informative and encouraging. I want to thank NetGalley for this advanced reader's copy for an honest review. #netgalley #mindfulasf*ck

This book had very practical and useful information in it. It wasn't my favorite book, but I definitely still got some information from it and enjoyed reading it.

Mindful As F*ck, a guide to mindfulness for everyone!
This guide covers so many different mindfulness exercises, with plenty of explanations.
I think this is a perfect book for a christmas or birthday present as it is one you can pick up as and when you need.
I love the title and feel like this makes it a likely choice for those who want to learn about mindfulness, but don't know where to begin.
A great, educational and enjoyable read. I will definitely pick up a print copy when this comes out!

This was not what I was expecting.
I enjoyed some parts but most of it i find basic or boring exercises to make.
As someone who had been in therapy this wasn't very helpful but I can see it can/could help who struggles with mild stress or anxiety.
Overall it was an enjoyable experience to read this.

This book was received as an ARC from Adams Media in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

Everyone I know will benefit from at least partial of this book. I love the series Emily Horn has created and how she takes real life issues and makes them fun in her own way. Especially now with COVID-19 everyone could use this book as a book of hope, strength and reminders that no matter the circumstance, you will be strong enough to get through this. This is also another book to refer back to no matter the circumstance as a reminder that all is well and to get you back to where you need to be.

We will consider adding this title to our Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

A book about meditation.

I regretfully have to say that I was unable to finish this book.
This book of course is beneficial as it is working on a very valuable concept. Yet, it failed to do what it says it will in the introduction.
It says it will not be about falling asleep in yoga and essential oils and meditating only in secluded places and floating. However, this is exactly what the book suggests, it in fact asks for a secluded place , it actually does make you use mantras and everything else it said it wouldn't. Yoga being a major part of it.
It if for these reasons I drop this book.

This is such a cute book! It gives you 100 great exercises to ceasing your day, your intuition, and your purpose. This book is pretty heavy on yoga so if that isn't your thing, I wouldn't go running to the bookstore immediately but it is still a great read. Emily Horn's writing style is comic and light hearted and you can tell she just wants you to chill the heck out on life.

Though there are 100 exercises I would say that a lot circle back to grounding and meditating, so it definitely was a bit repetitive. There are great overviews of chakras, reiki healing, Buddhism, etc. but nothing jumped out to me that was new information.

Thank you Emily Horn, NetGalley, and Adams media for this ARC!

Let that S*** go and become mindful as F***!

What a fun book, full of useful exercises and information about meditation, reiki, law of attraction etc.
Never dull and actually for everybody who want to relax a little, not just some highly spiritual beings.

Joy and fun!

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC of this book. This is a fantastic read for anyone wanting to be more mindful (duh, right?). No, seriously, this is an easy-to-digest book that is packed with very good exercises and information, all presented in a straight-forward, no-nonsense way. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's humor and felt it lent very well to the absorption of the bounty of information this book contains. Plus, I felt the humor made the exercises feel as if I could easily accomplish them, that they were within my reach without any fancy education, or tools to buy. I will be referring back to the exercises. Exercise 100 is by far my favorite. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!

This book is a fun snarky take on mindfulness, chakras, reiki, and more! It covers basics of many topics for the non “woo woo” person who wants to feel calmer and happier. I enjoyed the simple suggestions in the book and the light and breezy tone throughout.

This book was not for me. Because of the title I thought this was going to be a relaxed and maybe even fun approach to a self-help book, but that wasn’t the case. From the beginning it felt like the author was trying too hard to relate or even be cool. The book had very little information about a lot of deep, soulful, historical religions and practices in a way that felt quite disrespectful and that was unnecessary. Why mention all these names if you’re not going to use them properly? Many of the exercises were too repetitive and basic. I would recommend it for people who enjoy basic humor in books and for those who aren’t really looking for profound knowledge. If you are hoping for a book to help you change in order to improve, this isn’t it.

The information in this book is not new to me necessarily, but the author definitely puts a different perspective on it with many different exercises. I know plenty of people who would probably love this perspective and could use this type of perspective to start enjoying something like yoga or meditation in ways they might not otherwise try to enjoy. It is definitely not for everyone, and the writing seemed to target a younger crowd as well. I didn't mind the language, as the title makes it clear of what to expect, but for anyone who is put off by a seemingly laissez-faire approach to mindfulness, this book could be off putting. If you are looking to dig deep, this also isn't for you, but it does touch upon a lot of different techniques such as reiki and chakras.

The exercises in this books are easy to understand which I find is often a problem in books the explore mindfulness. There are exercises that I was actually excited to try out.
The writing was light and fun which created a really nice experience. I really enjoyed relaxing and focusing with the help of Mindful as F*ck

I found this book to be fairly helpful. I think it gives good tips on how to practice meditation and other wellness tecniques in an easy-to-implement way. Some of the content focused on more alternative wellness techniques wasn't as helpful for me, but maybe other people would enjoy them.
