Fuck it' is een buitengewoon uitdagend, humoristisch en inspirerend boek. Door regelmatig Fuck it te roepen kun je je leven ingrijpend veranderen. Je hoeft niet te mediteren, veel te bidden of doelgericht te werken aan je geluk. Want Fuck it werkt als een krachtige mantra en heeft een onontkoombaar effect. Fuck it roepen is volgens auteur John Parkin de ultieme aansporing om je eigen weg te volgen. Daarnaast is het bij uitstek een spirituele handeling. Fuck it is de perfecte vertaling van oosterse spirituele concepten als laten gaan, loslaten, overgave en ware vrijheid vinden. Fuck it zeggen tegen de problemen en zorgen die je dagelijks tegenkomt, is een eenvoudige manier om een gelukkig leven te leiden. De uitroep daagt je uit om in het moment te gaan leven. Tegelijkertijd is de uitdrukking zo krachtig dat wij, nuchtere westerlingen, eindelijk onze gestresste, gespannen en propvolle levens eens de rug toe durven keren. Een informatief, grappig, realistisch en baanbrekend boek op het gebied van persoonlijke, spirituele ontwikkeling. John Parkin is de zoon van anglicaanse priesters. Hij bestudeert en beoefent al meer dan twintig jaar oosterse wijsheid. Tegenwoordig heeft hij een holistisch centrum in Italie. Zie ook: www.thefuckitway.com.

A recent Gallup poll in the US found that 70% of those in work didn't enjoy their job. In his latest book, John C. Parkin brings the power of saying 'F**k It' to the subject of doing what we love. In this highly entertaining and motivational book, John sets out to prove that when we do what we love, we're actually more likely to be happier, healthier, wealthier and more successful. He addresses the significant blocks that people experience when they consider doing what they love, including: 'Doing what you love is for time-off, not work', 'Doing what I love would be selfish', 'I just don't know what I love' and 'I could never make a living from doing what I love'. Through no-nonsense ideas, fascinating facts and motivating calls to action, John brings us from pessimism to inspiration, so that our trail of thought becomes powered by 'F**k it, I can't waste any more of my life', 'F**k it, I will find a way to make this work', 'F**k it, I will do what I love'. F**k It: Do What You Love is not just a book: it's a call to action to get every single person to spend their precious time on this planet doing what they love.

Fuck It: Do What You Love

If every therapist and psychotherapist on the planet could repeat this to their clients, like a mantra, again and again, there would be fewer therapists and psychotherapists. Because it works. Very quickly. Realising that what you're worrying about and stressing over doesn't really matter so much in the grand scheme of things is the door to freedom and healing. And the little profanity 'F**k It' is the key to that door. Ask anyone who's come close to death, or lost someone close to them, or discovered they have a serious disease and they'll say the same thing: that the little things don't matter, F**k It... enjoy life in every moment for what it is, not what you want it to be... worry less, live more... remember what's important and forget the rest. John and Gaia have taught F**k It Retreats in Italy and around the world since 2005. They have taught thousands of people how to say F**k It: how to ease up, let go, and feel the natural flow in their lives. F**k It Therapy makes available for the first time the process they teach during their week-long retreats. With their six-part process, you are guided through how to deeply relax and let go, then how to carry this out into your life. You find out about the F**k It State and how to access it, you learn the principles of F**k It Training and then discover what F**k It Living really is, and how you can live every moment in a free, relaxed and F**k It way.

French humour is examined in a number of contexts: literary, filmic, linguistic, propagandistic and theoretical. The fields of study vary from medieval narrative to the contemporary detective novel, via Renaissance fiction, seventeenth-century satire, nineteenth-century polemic, and French New Wave cinema. Specific chapters are dedicated to Rabelais, La Bruyere, Bergson, Beckett and San-Antonio. The volume employs a flexible approach aiming to re-examine and question such established preconceptions as the decadence of fifteenth-century humour, the philosophical pre-eminence of Bergson, the originality of Truffaut, Chabrol and Godard, and the very existence of a French humour which is definably different from that of other European and American trends. Conversely, the themes of sexual and marital humour, Rabelaisian bawdy, intellectualised and irreverent wit, le comique (as contrast l'humour), political satire and black humour emerge repeatedly as characteristic, if not definitive, of the French comic tradition.

Think of a question - any question! (okay, maybe not a question like "what was the name of my physics teacher?"). Then turn to a page, and experience the magic... the magic of F**k It. We all have questions. And the bestselling F**k It books have provided answers to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The F**k It philosophy - of not worrying so much, of letting go more, of caring less what others think and doing your own thing - has provided answers that work in real life, every day.In F**k It Is the Answer, John C. Parkin adds another element to the F**k It mix: by inviting you to ask your question, and then turn randomly to a page that offers you a F**k It-style answer, he recruits the magical powers of your own unconscious... or 'fate'... or 'spirit'... or whatever it is that seems to guide us to the correct answers when we allow it. So this book is about 'allowing it'. Just as F**k It is about 'allowing it' - relaxing, trusting, going with the flow, and allowing the magic to happen. This book is F**k It Squared: taking the powerful wisdom of F**k It, and then recruiting whatever worldly or unworldly magic it is that makes this work.Make no mistake though: work it does.So... ask your question, and turn to a page.

Pointing the way to the future of research and development in relation to cycling as a mode of transport, this book investigates some of the significant recent developments in the technology, provision for, and take up of cycling in various parts of the world. Tensions at the heart of the nature of cycling remain: on the one hand cycling is frequently viewed as being a risky activity, while on the other hand it is seen as being a way of allowing populations to live healthier lives. Reviewing this dichotomy, the authors in this book consider the ways that cycling is planned and promoted. This is done partly in relation to these issues of risk and health, but also from the broader perspective of behavioural response to the changing nature of cycling. A section on methodologies is also included which outlines the current state-of-the art and points a way to future research.

With his first (and bestselling) book, 'F**k It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way', John C. Parkin established that saying 'Fuck It' was a spiritual act: helping us let go and realise that things don’t matter so much after all. This book packs a similar punch in wisdom and style, but with fewer words and more illustrations. Full of quick tips with big effects, with lines such as 'Say Fuck It to being happy: just doing that will cheer you up no end'. This is a unique book: quick and easy to read but potentially huge in its effect on people’s lives.

Small book. Big Wisdom.

F**k It - Do What You Love

The top reason for being unhappy and stressed in life is 'being over here, but wanting to be over there'. The gap between how life really is and how we'd like it to be, hurts. This gap is, in fact, the primary cause of pain and misery for most people. In this light-hearted, funny, yet deeply wise book, bestselling self-help author John Parkin looks at how we can close this gap: not through improving ourselves or making changes in our lives, but through saying 'F**k it' and making peace with life, just as it is. Written with relatable wit and humour, this book is full of wisdom that will give you a refreshing new perspective on life. John will guide you through all the common pitfalls of the modern search for happiness and will show you that going with the flow of things, exactly how they are, is the most effective pain reliever there is. By the end of the book, you'll see that being at peace with life is not necessarily to be peaceful, it's certainly not to be passive; it is to embrace life as it is, in all its colours.
