Namaste As Fuck

Peace is simple. People make it complicated.

Sixty-nine very short lessons for the moments when you are one notification away from saying something you cannot unsay.

This is not a book about becoming a calmer, better, more evolved person by next Tuesday. You already have enough projects. It is a book about spending your attention on purpose, and knowing exactly which bullshit deserves none of it.

Each lesson is one page. Open it anywhere. Read one, put it down, go handle your day.

A few of the sixty-nine

• ◆The Three-Fuck Rule: three questions that end most arguments before they start.
• ◆The Official Fuck Budget: you wake up with ten, spend accordingly.
• ◆The 24-Hour Rule, for the text you are absolutely going to regret.
• ◆How to Say Fuck Off Around the World: a small rude phrasebook for international peacekeeping.
• ◆Things That Are None of Your Fucking Business: a complete list.
• ◆Is It a Problem or Are You Hungry?: a diagnostic checklist for the recently devastated.

Small enough for a coat pocket, a nightstand, a desk drawer, or the back of the toilet, which is where most wisdom is actually absorbed.

A good gift for the friend holding it together by a thread, the coworker who replies to everything in four seconds, the person who has read enough self-help to know better, and yourself, around three in the afternoon.

Be kind when you can. Say no when you need to. And when in doubt, namaste as fuck.
