Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled... and that's an order! We're overwhelmed with these sorts of commands, and we often torture ourselves to \"try harder,\" yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stop pushing ourselves to do what we think we're \u003ci\u003esupposed\u003c\/i\u003e to do, and instead simply allow ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate--to stop giving a shit, and just \u003ci\u003ebe\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn international bestseller (now in English for the first time), \u003ci\u003eThe French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t\u003c\/i\u003e by Fabrice Midal explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses--and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break.

It's OK, he urges us, to say \u003ci\u003eno\u003c\/i\u003e. It's fine to quit the things that don't fulfill you. It's necessary, in fact, to give ourselves a break and say, simply, \u003ci\u003ec'est la vie\u003c\/i\u003e. In \u003ci\u003eThe French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t\u003c\/i\u003e, Midal gives each of us permission to stop doing the things that don't make us happy ... so we have room in our lives for the things that do. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120868147440,"sku":"9780316478236","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780316478236_p0.jpg?v=1769916486","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780316478236","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
