Publisher's summary

Fresh, funny, and fearless, The Middle Finger Project is a point-by-point primer on how to get unstuck, slay imposter syndrome, trust in your own worth and ability, and become a strong, capable, wonderful, weird, brilliant, ballsy, unf--kwithable you.

"Don't worry, this isn't a book about God, nor is it a book about Ryan Gosling (second in command). But it is a book about authority and becoming your own." (Ash Ambirge)

After a string of dead-end jobs and a death in the family, Ash Ambirge was down to her last $26 and sleeping in a Kmart parking lot when she faced the truth: No one was coming to her rescue. It was up to her to appoint herself. That night led to what eventually became a six-figure freelance career as a sought-after marketing and copywriting consultant, all while sipping coffee from her front porch in Costa Rica.

She then launched the Middle Finger Project, a blog and online course hub, which has provided tens of thousands of young "women who disobey" with the tools and mindset to give everyone else's expectations the finger and get on your own path to happiness, wealth, independence, and adventure.

In her first audiobook, Ash draws on her unconventional personal story to offer a fun, bracing, and occasionally potty-mouthed manifesto for the transformative power of radical self-reliance. Employing the signature wit and wordsmithing she's used to build an avid following, she offers paradigm-shifting advice along the lines of:

• The best feeling in the world is knowing who you are and what you're capable of doing.
• Life circumstances are not life sentences. If a Scranton girl who grew up in a trailer park can make it, so can you.
• What you believe about yourself will either murder your chances or save your life. So why not believe something good?
• You don't need a high-ranking job title to be authorized to contribute. You just need to contribute.
• Be your own authority. Authority only works as long as you trust that someone smarter than you is making the rules.
• The way you become a force is by being the most radically real version of yourself that you can be.
• You only have 12 f--ks a day to give, so use them wisely.

Extremely Refreshing and Funny

The audiobook is the absolute best medium to consume this content. The author Ash Ambirge shines through with her enthusiastic spirit as she provides a necessary kick forward to everyone who is still dragging their feet on their way to claim their place in the world. The target audience is definitely women, but I believe that the message itself is universal and timeless. A great book to read at the beginning of this year 2022.

Supercharged

I really love how blunt she is about everything & her personality is a bonus! She definitely gave me the motivation I needed and not only that but some practicality about what it takes to get to where you want to go. I’ve struggled with imposter syndrome and I’m glad I had the opportunity to listen. It has rewired my thought process and changed my perspective.

Everything

I freaking loved the whole book i listened to it in like 2 days! Wish there was more! Love the honest advice

Motivating and funny

Although there isn’t much practical advice I did enjoy the personal stories from the author. I also felt like there was a lot of great motivation to get off ones ass and pursue your dreams. The humour and wit made it a fun listen After a while the voice of the author and her pace of speaking, Fast then slow then fast and slow was a bit annoying. Overall I thought it was a great read, next time I’ll read it in print though.

An Unforgettable Read

Ash Ambirge lights your soul on fire in this unforgettable read about a girl who beat the odds just by being herself. Not only does she leave you will full self-awareness of the ways you are selling yourself short in life, play, and work, but she gives you the tricks and tips needed to be successful! I recommend this book for ANYONE looking to laugh, cry, and self-reflect!

LOVE IT

Best Un-Self Help Book Ever

Inspiring and hilarious. Deff the self-help book for people who hate self-help books! Don’t second guess it, just read it.

You Can, and Here’s How
