The Year of No Nonsense

How to Get Over Yourself and On with Your Life

De: Meredith Atwood

Narrado por: Meredith Atwood

In the vein of How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t, a practical guide to acknowledging and getting rid of the nonsense and bs in your life

Exhausted and overworked lawyer, triathlete, wife, and mom Meredith Atwood decided one morning that she'd had it. She didn't take her kids to school. She didn't go to work. She didn't go to the gym. When she pulled herself out of bed hours later than she should have, she found a note from her husband next to two empty bottles of wine and a stack of unpaid bills: You need to get your sh*t together.

And that's what Meredith began to do, starting with identifying the nonsense in her life that was holding her back: saying "yes" too much, keeping frenemies around, and more. In The Year of No Nonsense, Atwood shares what she learned, tackling struggles with work, family, and body image, and also willpower and time management. Ultimately, she's the tough-as-nails coach /slash/ best friend who shares a practical plan for identifying and getting rid of your own nonsense in order to move forward and live an authentic, healthy life. From recognizing lies you believe about yourself and your abilities, to making a "nonsense" list and developing a "no nonsense blueprint," this book walks you through reclaiming yourself with grit and determination, step by step.

With targeted, practical chapters to help you stop feeling stuck and get on with your life, The Year of No Nonsense is equal parts girlfriend and been-there-done-that. The best part? Like any friend, she helps you get to the other side.

Awesome!!

Meaningful and enlightening. I will definitely share, learn and peal. I am looking forward to years of No Nonsense.

Life changing

I absolutely loved it!!! It was exactly what I was looking for. Would read again.

Powerful

I had been through coaching and read one self help book. From that I was able to identify that I had problems and that I needed to get past them. But it is pretty difficult to get past something you can’t see. This book, in the very unique way it is written, helped me identify several things, work on them, and move on to the next without shitting on myself along the way. Or at least catching myself and stopping. This book is amazing. The way Meredith narrated is a huge part. She speaks like a real person. Relatable.

Excellent!

Wonderful! Loved every word! Touched my soul and will recommend again and again and again!

You will learn a lot about the author!

With little intonation or variance in pitch, tone, or speed, Atwood provides a gruelling look into her year of no nonsense. She gives an unabashed view of her pain and shortcomings. At times her self-disclosure veers into a confessional that is only necessary if you're a celebrity whose bio is on A & E. We get it, things were bad, terrible even. I just didn't think I needed to wade deeply into her stuff to process mine. But every author has their style.
There are some pearls of wisdom here, though. You just have to hold your breath, like a deep sea diver, to reach them. Between the repeated admissions of how her world caved in, Atwood poses some powerful questions throughout; questions so profound, I had to finish the book. To benefit her readers, Atwood could share more deep insights and powerful questions and less of a tell-all.
