The Give-a-Sh*t Guide to Caring Less and Living More (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295595349)

Many people are exhausted not because they care too little, but because they care too much about things that were never theirs to carry. Over time, chronic over-caring, people-pleasing, and guilt-driven responsibility can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a loss of clarity about what actually matters.

The Give-A-Sh*t Guide to Caring Less and Living More offers a trauma-informed, practical framework for selective caring. Rather than encouraging emotional detachment or indifference, this book teaches readers how to decide what deserves their energy and what does not. The focus is not on becoming less compassionate, but on learning how to care with intention.

Through clear, accessible tools such as the Give-A-Sh*t Scale, the Control Filter, and the concept of Thought Hooks, readers learn how to sort emotional responsibility, interrupt automatic guilt responses, and respond to life with greater self-trust. The approach is grounded, non-clinical, and designed for real-world use.

This book is for readers who feel overwhelmed by constant emotional demands, struggle to set boundaries without over-explaining, or find themselves stuck in survival mode despite years of insight or self-work. It offers a calm, honest alternative to aggressive self-help, emphasizing clarity, discernment, and sustainable change.

The Give-A-Sh*t Guide to Caring Less and Living More invites readers to let go of what drains them so they can live with greater alignment, peace, and purpose.
