I DON'T GIVE A F***! American Mantras to Free the Spirit (A Roadmap to Enlightenment for Godless Mystics). Good old Socrates said: all I know is that I know nothing. If Socrates didn't know it, imagine what it is that I don't know! But there are a hell of a lot of people who say they know a lot, and are therefore much smarter than I and even smarter than Socrates, who certainly would not be someone to be ashamed of as a classmate. There are those who speak with angels, who speak with the dead, with forest creatures, extraterrestrials, goblins and animals... and the luckiest of all speak long distance with God. Sadly, it often happens that these same people, found talking candidly with ghosts, plants, UFOs, sheep, cows and all types of beasts, have serious difficulty communicating with their own children, their partners or with the valet parking dude.

This book is an analogy about what is wrong with this planet we live in, and by identifying the problems, what we can do to solve them? Or are we too stupid or just too apathetic, or do we dont care? This book may offend some readers and may be deemed by some readers to be politically incorrect, but hopefully, I have caught your attention long enough for you to read it and learn something.

Columbus has made the transition from a teenager to becoming a man. Columbus did what he needed to do to overcome stressful situations. His love for his family didn’t let him activate his killing demon. He is faced with decisions of life progression. He learns you can’t outrun your past. When you do fuck shit, it’s always going to come back and bite you. He is trying to handle things that are out of his control. He has to discipline himself. He still keeps letting the hood creep out of him. He knows he got to get a handle on it. He has a handle on the stealing demon because he’s getting money. He’s learning how to make the right decisions instead of letting his emotions explode.

The Wall Street Journal bestseller! Stop battling your emotions and engage them to live a better life. You’ve been told that it’s a subtle art to not give a f*ck, to only live, laugh, and love, and to f*ck your feelings. That’s impossible and unhealthy. What if you could stop trying to fix your emotions and work with them instead of against them—even the “bad” ones? Give a F*ck, Actually is the self-help guidebook to doing that with Radical Emotional Acceptance, a simple five-step process for having a healthy relationship with your emotions in real time. Developed by psychiatrist Dr. Alex Wills through over 15,000 hours with patients, REA stops the fight against your own feelings and allows you to acknowledge, accept, interpret, and act on emotions—even the painful ones that you are told to suppress—before they become a problem. Rather than pretending you don’t give a f*ck, REA helps you embrace your f*cks and learn from them emotional data to live a fuller life. Give a F*ck, Actually integrates teaching with anecdotes, historical lessons, and narrative encounters with patients to demonstrate REA in action. The result is an unforgettable how-to guide for emotions that will change your life.

A masterfully updated edition of The F-Word which renders a comprehensive portrait of English's most notorious and colorful word. No word has generated more uses, more creative euphemisms, and more strong opinions than fuck. Jesse Sheidlower's historical dictionary, now in print for over 25 years, charts the uses of fuck and its many permutations, from absofuckinglutely to zipless fuck. It illustrates every sense of every entry with quotations, from the earliest that can be found to a recent example, showing exactly how the word has been used throughout history. This new edition is not just a minor update but a comprehensive revision of Sheidlower's groundbreaking text for the internet age. Major new discoveries push back the known history of fuck by almost two hundred years. Sheidlower also considers rapidly changing attitudes towards the use of fuck in public discourse. The volume includes over 1,000 new quotations; over 100 antedatings (earlier examples of existing entries, improving our understanding of the word's development); and many dozens of new entries, including high-profile recent uses such as AF 'as fuck', fuckboi, and the group of expressions of the sort to give no fucks or zero fucks given.
