Exhausted and overworked lawyer, triathlete, wife, and mom Meredith Atwood decided one morning that she'd had it. She didn't take her kids to school. She didn't go to work. She didn't go to the gym. When she pulled herself out of bed hours later than she should have, she found a note from her husband next to two empty bottles of wine and a stack of unpaid bills: You need to get your sh*t together. In The Year of No Nonsense, Atwood shares what she learned, tackling struggles with work, family, and body image, and also willpower and time management.

Lots of nonsense in no-nonsense (hashtags in a book...?)

Meredith is an endlessly energetic, determined seeker of how to do better, feel better, BE better. She has taken her gifts as a trained analyst (she’s a lawyer), an athlete (an accomplished weight-lifter in high school, in her quest towards self-improvement she became an iron man triathlete), a recovering addict, a wife and mother - to examine the roots of self-loathing, stuck-ness and unhappiness.
Meredith realized, by her early 30’s (when most of us are in a haze of surviving parenting and career demands) that, despite tremendous success in life, she had messed up a lot - a decades-long battle with alcohol, a lifelong struggle with weight, and basing her career on people pleasing. In her quest for happiness and peace, she turns herself into an Ironman triathlete. When that doesn’t solve her problems, she decides to face ALL the truths and confront her addiction with unflinching honesty: she stops drinking.
This book is about knocking on all the doors, asking all the hard questions, shying away from nothing and fearing no truth in the quest to exterminate all demons from a young life. By mapping out her process, Meredith gives us signposts to self-love, peace and fulfillment. Something which, it turns out, is achievable through her plotted steps, and which is every person’s inheritance, should they choose to do Meredith’s prescribed work in order to claim it.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

The absolute worst, most grating attempt
At a Scottish accent ever. Clearly an American pretending to be a scot. Makes
The whole book sound like make believe. Unendurable.
