There are many to get through but if you identify your own prisons you can skip straight to your help area. He is the son of Anglican preachers and has published several books along with his partner Gaia including, F**k It, F**k it Therapy, The Way of F**k It and F**k It - Do What You Love.

Its a reminder to stop listening to other people and start listening to ourselves, to take that leap and to unlock freedom and happiness by saying these two magic words to all the problems and chaos of life. The moments when we don’t give a fuck and take action are often the moments that most define the course of our lives. Parkin argues that saying Fuck It is a spiritual that it is the perfect western expression of the eastern ideas of letting go, giving up and finding real freedom by realising that things don't matter so much (if at all).I think what most people — especially educated, pampered middle-class white people — consider “life problems” are really just side effects of not having anything more important to worry about.

If I believe I’m an awesome cook, I’ll seek out opportunities to prove that to myself over and over again.
