Zen as F*ck: A Journal for Practicing the Mindful Art of Not Giving a Sh*t (Let That Sh*t Go Books)

This is a silly journal for fun and while I do think it’s a great activity for keeping a positive mindset, I will say that for those truly struggling you might not find the book too entertaining. I don’t feel like this journal goes too deeply into things, so if that’s what you’re looking for maybe this isn’t it for you. That being said, I personally do think that it’s a great journal. A little cheesy sometimes but good! And it’s in the name but some people may think it’s just a few words: the journal does cuss a lot so if that’s not your cup of tea be mindful of that too (I don’t mind swears at all but I know others do).

I just received three of Monica Sweeney’s books, and am so excited, I put them down immediately to write this review – never done that before. These are a Christmas present for my 16 year old daughter who struggles with mood, self-esteem, confidence, positivity – the normal stuff – and I can’t WAIT to give them to her! (Not to imply these are exclusively for teenagers – I’d say they’re for ages 16-99, as long as excessive profanity isn’t an issue.) The positive and inspirational messages are spot on, and given in easy-to-read relatable chunks. Think “things your best friend should tell you, but maybe doesn’t” meets a page-a-day calendar, with a ton of humor thrown in. They’re not your typical dry self-help books – far from it. Yes, beware, they are laced with profanity, but that’s part of their charm, really, which I think will actually give the books more credibility where my daughter’s concerned, in a cool teenager sort of way. The books don’t ‘preach’, but rather, make you feel like someone is on your side, fighting along with you, and has your back at every turn, no matter what. I can easily see these books helping my daughter to become her own biggest cheerleader – an awesome gift to give anyone. So happy I found them! Now, I hope I can wait till Christmas!!

This journal is just great! All of the journals by Monica Sweeney are! I've bought 3 so far plus a planner and I'll definitely be on the lookout for more! The pages are colorful and funny yet positive and thought provoking. If you have a sense of humor at all you'll love her stuff! I plan to give these as gifts and keep some for myself!

If you don't mind the profanity this book/journal is a hoot! (I don't mind it, because it makes me laugh at times and is all part of the theme - helps if you lighten up, have a good sense of humor, and just go with it.) This journal really helps me release my anger, frustrations, and makes me realize that some of my worries are not worth being worries at all. It helps me realize I don't have to apologize for being ME. (Much cheaper than a therapist! Lol!) Highly recommend.

Bought as a gift for a friend. Cute and fun, nothing really deep.

These make such great gifts! I keep an extra on hand.

Can't help but read this entire book while hearing Samuel L. Jackson's voice in my head. ❤ Very motivating and enjoyable for me, personally. I know it's not everyone's thing. Been keeping a self care journal for the past week, which is nice, just needed that extra oomf. Makes me smile or chuckle. This has a lot of fun and quick tid bits. I'm a mom with a transitioning three year old, who will test me every chance they get. Diffcult to have a moment to myself anymore. Been stuck in the home with my kid, and very noisy dog, 24-7, (due to covid restrictions) for months. Vulgarity seldom happens anymore. Really miss it. This book is like a breath of glorious air. This book brings me much needed joy, peace, and serenity in the small moments I have to myself. Really helps me personally, and got me through a rough a** 3 days of just plain rotten luck.

I know, I know my pictures r not great but I got this as a gift & didn't want to crease/flaw it in anyway! So, it's visually beautiful inside I just picked the filter that was the easiest to actually read, so please ignore the colors. I love this book! It is funny if you have a kinda twisted sense of humor but it also makes you think! It's not really like a journal...you write stuff but more like a bucket list or things you're proud of, etc... It just makes you laugh while doing so! I am not a professional but I believe laughing is the only way to deal with most of life & stay functioning. I truly think I might get one for myself it was that fabulous!

It's not useful.

I love this book. Its genuinely amusing, and helpful in equal measure. I tend to do one or two pages at a time, and if I'm not keen on a page, I leave it for later. Cannot recommend enough.

Ich liebe es, schön gestaltet und lustig! Klare Empfehlung!

I somehow expected something more creative/artistic. It's a fun book but that's all. I find the art a bit basic – but that's personal taste.

Bought as gift. Was greatly appreciated. Very funny and uplifting. Fast delivery too.
