will become inspired to follow her path to slowing down, stressing
less and enjoying life more. Read slowly to appreciate the

Amazon Bestseller in the Top 50 Self Help category.
How women can improve their productivity, happiness, and physical
well-being by keeping their natural cycles in mind and working with
them (rather than ignoring them). In the Flo teaches women how to
use their 28-day cycle to optimize their life by letting their
internal clock and natural rhythms guide time management, diet,
fitness, etc. (This is so simple and yet under-utilized it is
shocking. It makes perfect sense when you think about it: You have
different energy levels at different times of the month, different
libido levels, etc. so why not use foresight to plan projects for
when you are at your most effective, and understand when you need
more emotional connection with others?) There are specific tips on
what to eat and how to exercise depending on what phase you are
in-and it works. Women are getting promotions, losing weight, and
in one case thus far, literally clearing their endometriosis by
using the cycle syncing method.

How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up is your ultimate ANTI life coach. Be warned: whatever you do, don’t do the opposite of what you learn here or else you’re in serious danger of making some positive changes and leading a more successful life.
How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up turns the concept of self-improvement on its head. It brings together 43 and a half leading ideas in personal and business development, and offers a total antidote to the motivational, gung-ho, over-enthused tone of all the usual self-improvement guides.
Delivered in fast, easily digestible chunks, in a style that makes you laugh while you learn, this book offers tongue-in-cheek advice about what not to do to ensure certain failure in every aspect of your life. From not having any goals, to not getting advice from people you’ve never met or who are dead, to not taking personal responsibility for your life and results, every idea, strategy, suggestion and story is guaranteed to propel you into the slow lane of total inadequacy and has been tested with thousands of real people.
How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up comes with a warning – that you don’t think about taking the direct opposite steps to those outlined in the guide, as this could seriously damage your chances of becoming a failure. Behind the humour, though, is good advice and a serious message. And whether you choose to heed the warning or not, it’s an extremely entertaining read.
Warning: this book contains strong language (which may be
unsuitable for children). There's enough solidly inspirational and
profoundly beautiful literature out there already for your reading
pleasure, I won't add to that. Instead I offer you this. I wrote
it. I felt compelled to do so because I have a suspicion that, like
me, we all worry about and over analyse the same things in life. We
are all just anxious meatbags, trying to get along. We all want
similar (ish) things. Happiness, family, love, safety, FAME and a
metabolism that helpfully speeds up annually on the event of our
passing birthdays. I found this quote a few years ago, it came up
as I was scrolling on the internet. It's so beautiful it actually
hurts. "You're a ghost driving a meat coated skeleton, made from
stardust. What do you have to be scared of?" It's deep isn't it?
It's basically the theme of this book. It's aim and my intention is
to alleviate worries and reassure the reader that we are all the
same inside. We ALL relate to the same s*** that keeps us awake at
night. I'll be honest... I swear like a trucker, but I sure can
write and I have good intentions. And, as the front cover states-
it's a guide to surviving the best bits of life and holding our
middle fingers up to the rest! - Bind
