WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

honest, insightful. thought- provoking on how we perceive ourselves, often more harshly and negatively than how others actually see us.

CYNTHIA GATEWOOD
From the very first page to its concluding thoughts, "A case of the f&$!#%k-its" is a magnetic read that commands attention. The author brilliantly delves into the philosophy of letting go and embracing life with an unapologetic attitude. This book serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of shedding societal pressures and listening to one's authentic self. A must- read for anyone feeling trapped by conventions and seeking liberation. Everyone, at some point in life, could benefit from developing their own "Case of the fuck its." highly recommended!
