Get a F*cking Grip

How to Get Your Life Back on Track

By: Matthew Kimberley

Narrated by: Matthew Kimberley

- You know the key to having more energy has nothing to do with crystals and chakras... and everything to do with how much sleep you get.

- You know that neglecting your friends will leave you destitute and lonely... but you're still too damn lazy to pick up your phone and get in touch.

- You know you could get through your to-do list in half the time... yet you're still stalking your ex on Facebook.

- You know you just need a kick up the backside... and that's what you'll find within the pages of this book.

Get A F*cking Grip is the self-help book for people who hate self-help, offering simple no-nonsense advice that you can implement into all areas of your life, allowing you to get on with everything you've always wanted to do. Learning how to get a f*cking grip is the key to taking back control of your life.

Mixed feelings

The premise of the book is not to impart new knowledge, but to remind you of things you already know. This is made absolutely clear at the start of the book. In this respect, I felt the book performed well. However, I found some information oversimplified and I was still disappointed with the contents overall. The humour was enjoyable, but not nearly as entertaining as I thought it would be. I did like the bit in front of the mirror; I had a good laugh there.

Get a F*cking Grip

Definitely made me laugh several times. The first half of the book was good and then it just trailed off. It's worth a listen for a chunk of it. However, there came a point where it got so simple and "dumbed down" that I lost interest and stop returning to the book, which led me to return it. I would give the author a try again, but I want him to focus on a single topic or two, so it doesn't sound like a string of blog posts. The chapters are short, which can be good, so you focus on a specific message, however, after a while it was like.... I could have read that from my facebook feed by my smart buddy after he had a couple of beers. Then again, I'm still a serious MFer aren't I? Seriously though the author is funny and I wish I could've finished and loved it. You're probably gonna laugh. The singing out load and wiggling you bits in front of a mirror made me chuckle just now.

Great Book

This is the only book I have listened to more than several times. Highly recommended
