This wasn't the book for me. It opened with superficial explanations of such concepts as Buddhism, chakras, etc I skimmed that section and went on to the exercises.

The exercises were simple and fairly practical. I am no stranger to swearing but the language felt out of place and jarring. There was no rhyme or reason to it and it detracted from any content.

I didn't really gain anything fron reading this book nor did I particularly enjoy it

I received an ARC from Netgalley. I am leaving my honest review

I thought this would be a book not to be taken seriously because of the title, but it was the opposite. It was meant to be a mindful book with help and advice, but I’m not sure I could take it seriously. I’m not sure if because of the language it came across as aggressive and not the calming way in which it is meant to be. Swearing doesn’t bother me one bit, but I think it should be used in the right way and this didn’t feel like that.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This book seemed like it could be interesting, but I quickly realized it wasn't for me.

Much of the the book was dedicated to explaining Buddhism, Yoga, Reiki, and Chakras, none of which were mentioned on the description of the book. These aren't topics of interest to me, and additionally, the explanations felt a little...shallow and without respect for the cultural and religious importance of these various practices. The insistence that the reader MUST believe I Chakras to find mindfulness was off-putting to me. You have anxiety? Just sit and breathe and slow down and ignore it! That's about as deep as things are going to get here.

As someone with ADHD I was bothered by the discussion of doshas. I don't know much about Ayurveda, and the brief explanation of it didn't give me enough context to understand the culture and context of these beliefs. The insinuation that I talk too quickly and often because of "vata," which was not clearly explained, felt dismissive of both the Ayurveda and of ADHD, anxiety, and other conditions. This could've easily been rectified by a conversation about how these beliefs work alongside/explain conditions, but the book simply ignored that there are very real conditions/mental health issues.

I skimmed the exercises hoping to find something useful, but the exercises were basically...sit, breathe, chill out, but for different amounts of time, or in different positions. I didn't find anything new here that I didn't already know.

I'm guessing the "irreverent voice" is supposed to be the selling point of this book, but it felt in-genuine and a bit disrespectful given the topic of the book.

Maybe others will have a different opinion, but some more depth and clearer marketing are needed here.
