Indlæser... F*ck That: An Honest Meditationaf Jason Headley
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  SquirrelHead | May 18, 2016 |   (Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for review through Blogging for Books.) -- 3.5 stars -- In the vein of such classics as Go the Fuck to Sleep and You Have to Fucking Eat, F*ck That: An Honest Meditation is a humorous little picture book for adults - just, say, yogis or members of the self-help set vs. parents. Or, let's be honest: anyone who's ever spent time on the internet, because two minutes online will most certainly make you want to choke a motherfucker. Headley juxtaposes profanity-laden meditations with lovely nature photography to create a beautiful and surprisingly soothing picture book. https://www.flickr.com/photos/smiteme/26465051341/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/smiteme/26438795992/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/smiteme/25926174264/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/smiteme/26465061401/in/dateposted-public/ It's cute and silly and good for a few giggles...and maybe also handy to keep on hand for those days when the world seems to be conspiring against you and you just can't even with this shit anymore. I suspect it'd make a nice gag gift or stocking stuffer for both the cynics and New Age types in your life, which isn't a demographic that overlaps very often, I don't think. That said, Headley's meditations get a little flowery at times (e.g., "Free of calamity created by every last ranch hand at the fuckup farm."). While I give him mucho points for creativity in cursing, I would've rather seen him stick with simpler, more familiar phrases; ones that more easily slip off the tongue. Ones that could become mantras, easily repeated in times of stress. Or maybe I'm just overthinking things? http://www.easyvegan.info/2016/05/13/fuck-that-an-honest-meditation-by-jason-hea...

"Your boss throws an "urgent" project on your desk at 4:30 pm. Your son takes 45 minutes to put on his shoes when you're already running late. The cable customer service rep is both rude to you and unhelpful. When bad things happen, it's easy to get caught up in the frustration, the annoyance, and the drama. Sure, you could try to remember that complicated breathing technique your yoga friend taught you, but who has time to breathe when their laptop keeps crashing on that overdue presentation? Jason Headley takes on these, and life's other everyday problems, in F*ck That: A Guided Meditation. Based on the viral video that had everyone from yogis to workaholics raving, F*ck That is the serene (and brutally honest) guide to achieving your inner peace"-- No library descriptions found. |

While the sentiment is basically – Shake it off – there is language that may offend some folks. I completely get the attitude though as many times, 98% of the time it’s at work, there are people you just want to shake…or curse….or wonder why you have given 29 years to state government and yet your experience and education are completely ignored on many important issues.
Whew – I guess that hit close to home!
The photos are lovely, calm scenes you would expect to see in motivational posters. The message is to take a deep breath and don’t let the bastards get you down. Leave the frustrations behind when you clock out for the day or when you have an unpleasant social or family engagement. I totally get it.
If you would like to check out Jason Headley’s website you’ll find more tongue in cheek humor, not all of it is R rated.
I received this book complimentary from Blogging for Books program. All opinions are my own. (
