Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Fck Feelings* by Dr. Michael Bennett and Sarah Bennett offers a refreshingly blunt approach to self-help, focusing on the notion that while life can be challenging, the quest for perfection and unwavering happiness is often futile. Instead of emphasizing emotional introspection, it encourages accepting life's flaws and imperfections. The authors provide practical advice with a dose of humour, urging readers to let go of unrealistic expectations and navigate life's ups and downs with resilience.

Heartbroken? Horrible boss? Confidence crisis? Rubenesque body? Anxious? Lonely?

The solution is to find out what’s bothering you and change it, right?

Sorry lady. WRONG.

You aren’t going to suddenly start loving yourself. You aren’t going to just become the Best Version of Yourself. You can’t stop your dad drinking, or your rubbish boyfriend from breaking up with you.

Fact is, there are some things you just can’t change, and you will become miserable trying.

Instead, Harvard-educated psychiatrist of 30 years Michael Bennett and his comedian daughter, Sarah, show you how to:

  • Stop overthinking
  • Make smarter decisions so you can manage whatever life throws at you
  • Stick to your values when good luck is nowhere to be found
  • Come away from bad situations with your self-respect and sanity intact

They may not promise lifelong happiness, but they do guarantee strength, pride, and a sense of humour.

F*ck Feelings offers frank talk and honest advice, helping you ride out life's inevitable ups and downs with more resilience.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

F*ck Feelings by Dr. Michael Bennett and Sarah Bennett is praised for its pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to self-help, providing straightforward advice mixed with humour. Reviewers appreciate its realistic take on problem-solving and emotional management, offering actionable steps rather than false positivity. Some readers find the candid tone refreshing, while others note it may not suit those seeking a more traditional, empathetic self-help book.

About the Author

The doctor in Dr. Lastname is Dr. Michael I. Bennett (Harvard University '66, Harvard Medical School '70), a board-certified psychiatrist. While he's worked in every aspect of his field, from hospital administration to managed care, his major interest is in his private practice which he's been running for almost 30 years. A distinguished fellow in the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Bennett has also spent years as a member of the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society, serving as president in 2004-2005. He's the author of The Concise Guide to Managing Behavioral Health Care Within a Managed Care Environment, which, while informative, reads like a VCR manual. Sarah Bennett has been reading for as long as she can remember. Raised in a family of bookworms, her love affair with books of all genres has culminated in the ultimate Happy Ever After – getting to write her own stories to share with others. Born and raised in a military family, she is happily married to her own Officer (who is sometimes even A Gentleman). Home is wherever he lays his hat, and life has taught them both that the best family is the one you create from friends as well as relatives. When not reading or writing, Sarah is a devotee of afternoon naps and sailing the high seas, but only on vessels large enough to accommodate a casino and a choice of restaurants. You can connect with her via twitter @Sarahlou writes or on Facebook www.facebook.com/SarahBennettAuthor
