Why Must Read Find Your F*cking Happy: A Journal to Help Pave the Way for Positive Sh*t Ahead (Zen as F*ck Journals)?

I just received three of Monica Sweeney’s books, and am so excited, I put them down immediately to write this review – never done that before. These are a Christmas present for my 16 year old daughter who struggles with mood, self-esteem, confidence, positivity – the normal stuff – and I can’t WAIT to give them to her! (Not to imply these are exclusively for teenagers – I’d say they’re for ages 16-99, as long as excessive profanity isn’t an issue.) The positive and inspirational messages are spot on, and given in easy-to-read relatable chunks. Think “things your best friend should tell you, but maybe doesn’t” meets a page-a-day calendar, with a ton of humor thrown in. They’re not your typical dry self-help books – far from it. Yes, beware, they are laced with profanity, but that’s part of their charm, really, which I think will actually give the books more credibility where my daughter’s concerned, in a cool teenager sort of way. The books don’t ‘preach’, but rather, make you feel like someone is on your side, fighting along with you, and has your back at every turn, no matter what. I can easily see these books helping my daughter to become her own biggest cheerleader – an awesome gift to give anyone. So happy I found them! Now, I hope I can wait till Christmas!!
