Sling the bucket! Slay that FOMO! Save your precious money and time, your sanity, your patience and your dignity. This is the anti-manifesto for anyone who's ever been tempted or guilt-tripped into chasing 'transformational' life experiences or railroaded into dumb ideas; comfort literature for the victims of the zeitgeist who have ended up out of sorts, out of pocket, out of joy, out of endurance, out of their mind... and who's damned stupid idea was this in the first place?

Houseboat living? Silent retreats? A house rabbit? Whitewater rafting? Climbing Everest? I mean, please. This book is your permission slip to be a party-pooping curmudgeon and say to the chirpy, chipper cheerleaders of the life better lived, 'No, no, move along, I'm quite alright, thank you.'

With playful scorn, The 'F**kit! List calls out the reality behind the fluff, the hype and the hard sell, exposing the grim small print beneath the banner headlines that promise deep contentment, spiritual fulfilment and fun! fun! fun! Whether it's keeping bees or hens, buying a vintage car, staying in an ice hotel, or going off-grid-this book says what you've always felt deep down: do me a favour, will you?
