There's a whole host of sh*t in life that you have no control over … Let it be. Focus on taking responsibility for yourself and let the rest go. You've got a grip. You rock.

Introduction

Many of us know what we need to do to make our lives better. Yet day after day, we turn up to jobs we hate, waste our time watching TV, and put off the things we want until we're too old to do them.

Self-help books feed us increasingly wacky ideas of how to change our lives, but the truth is simple: We need to focus on the fundamentals, do the work, and get a f*cking grip.

In Get a F*cking Grip, CEO and business consultant Matthew Kimberley tells it to his readers straight.

From gaining self-confidence to becoming a self-employed productivity monster, Kimberley offers simple guidance. He promotes the common-sense ideas that get overshadowed by flashy, new techniques.

Originally published in 2011 as How to Get a Grip, Kimberley's warm-hearted – and very sweary – book was re-branded in 2019. Its aim is to cure the paralysis of analysis that we've inflicted upon ourselves.
