About this audiobook

Blending memoir and blistering social observations, the author of The F*ck It Diet looks back at her desperate attempts to heal her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections through extreme diets, culty self-help methods, and melodramatic bargains with the universe. 

Offering a frank and funny critique of the cultural forces that are driving us mad, Caroline Dooner examines how treating ourselves like never ending self-improvement projects is a recipe for burnout. We have become unknowingly complicit in perpetuating our own exhaustion because we are treating ourselves like machines. But even phones need to f*cking recharge.

Caroline takes a good hard look at the dark side of self-help, and explains how she eventually used a radical period of rest to push back against cultural expectations and reclaim some peace.

Tired As F*ck empowers us to say no to the things that exhaust us. It inspires us to carve out time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity. 

This is not a self-help book, it’s a cautionary tale. It’s an honest look at the dogma of wellness and spiritual self-improvement culture and revels in the healing power of rest and letting shit go.

    Another interesting, funny and relatable book by Caroline Dooner! I loved The F*ck it Diet and now also love Tired as F*ck. Thank you for being real, being fun, and sharing your experiences in letting go of society’s and our own fantasies of what life -and our bodies- should look like.

    I loved basically everything about this book! She does an amazing job about tying her personal experiences to struggles most people have and then giving realistic solutions for those problems. I couldn’t recommend it enough for everyone.

    There was a lot here, and I definitely don’t recommend if you have any history with disordered eating and body stuff since it’s a huge focus of the book. I’m not sure if we’re supposed to relate to the author as I didn’t at all; I’m trying to remember where all her issues came from and frankly I got pissy when therapy wasn’t mentioned except as a blip. I did feel for her and things she went through but was not liking her as I did with the other book of hers I read.
