sams84's review against another edition

This is a surprisingly entertaining read, making excellent use of cuss words and comparing people to the chipmunks (I am a Simon by the way). While much of these is quite obvious and has been written before, there are some great tips to be learnt and the blunt manner that Knight uses makes for a refreshing change and suits my own mentality much more than the usual touchy-feeling approach you get with self-help books. Just don't read it if you're easily offended, or read it and learn to deal with it (much better option).

I read 70% of this book. What a WASTE of my time!!!
I thought this book would be a useful guide to how to prioritize my life and work on the things that I keep procrastinating about. It is not. It is a book written by someone who thinks she is clever and a comedian (when she is not) with NO solid advice on how to do any of this except "break your tasks into chunks"--- NO SHIT SHERLOCK! Her jokes were stupid....and advice not anything new....and honestly, if I had to hear one more time that she was able to save up and quit her job and move to a Caribbean island....she really needs a reality check.
A friend of mine who reads a lot of self help books told me his view is that when someone writes a self help book--- there first one is useful, but the rest are just attempts to continue to make money. This may have been the case, but I will not be attempting to track down or waste my time reading her first book. What a waste!!
Read: DO NOT. This book is insulting.

A charming read I didn't want to put down. Simple strategy - well told by Knight. Her anecdotes bring things home to how you can apply said strategy to your own life.

What can I say? Sarah Knight gets me. Her debut book, The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k Took Me by surprise and this one does the same. One minute you are caught up in the puns and outrageous humor that you almost don’t even notice how she is calling out your bullshit and giving you keys to stop screwing up your life.
