4.7 out of 5

718 global ratings

Compelling and straight-shooting wisdom for coping with whatever challenges life throws at us from the New York Times bestselling author of Unfu*k Yourself.

In Unfuk Yourself, Gary John Bishop taught millions of readers how to silence the negative, self-sabotaging voice in their head to thrive. In Wise As Fuk he expands on his ideas, redefining what it means to be wise and showing how to tackle problems and improve our lives and those of others.

When the shit storms of life hit us, many of us don’t know what to do—whether it’s losing a job, suffering a broken heart, or just feeling a lack of purpose. We need wisdom to help us navigate forward. While the internet is full of seemingly good advice, it isn’t helping us actually change our lives. Wise As Fu*k breaks through the bullshit, providing insight to inspire us in the four areas we need it most: love, loss, fear, and success.

Written with his widely admired no-nonsense style, Wise As Fuk provides a welcome fresh perspective to help us transform how we approach a variety of life’s problems. But Bishop makes clear, the work doesn’t stop there. Now that you’ve unfuked yourself and and are wise as fu*k about these touchy areas, you can apply the lessons to make a positive impact on the world.

This one is good, his other books try to do the same 'shock factor and blunt speak' but they miss the mark. I recommend this book, but his others are 3* at best.

This book helped me through a breakup. I thought it was the hardest moment in my life. The problem wasn’t the breakup. The problem is what I made it mean about me and my future, that I’m unlovable, a failure, a bad picker. Lol!! None of those things are true. A break up is a break up. And I am 100% happier not being in that relationship. I have learned my boundaries. I have learned what matters to me. And I have learned to make wise choices in the pursuit of my future.

I recommend, like the author, to take your time with this book so you can truly think about what he is saying. Some isn't easy to hear, but it's needed. I've found his previous books very enlightening so was excited for this one. It did not disappoint. I think it would be helpful to read the others first as he builds on previous items, but it also works of this is the first one you read.

Didn’t think I’d like this book at first but glad I purchased and read it. It’s basically cut and dry and telling you everything you need to know!

I bought the first 2 books he wrote for myself. I bought this book for my son in college who was going thru growing up adult stuff. I gifted him this book not sure if he would give it a chance. Surprisingly, he really enjoys it and is picking up what the author put down!
