Book SynopsisBack in 2016, tv series and New York Times–bestselling comic writer Amanda Deibert inadvertently started a social media movement when she began posing questions to her Twitter followers, intended to spark a little positivity, gratitude, and connection. When her questions started to regularly go viral, reaching up to 11 million impressions in under a week, what began as a simple social experiment ballooned into a now 5-year-long project. YOU ALREADY HAVE THE ANSWERS is a daily gratitude journal with the author’s personal narrative intertwined to prompt reflection, inspired by her questions on Twitter. Users are invited to reflect on a single question each day—ranging from offbeat to motivational, but always deeply encouraging (think of Amanda as “part–Mr. Rogers, part-foul-mouthed, cool aunt”)—curated around a different theme each month. Amanda uses her own life experience to illustrate that endings are new beginnings, and that our lives are full of lessons and wisdom we may not even know we have. Combined with her daily prompting, this journal is a guide to discovering just how much you already know, and how much you have to be grateful for.

Book SynopsisThe Wall Street Journal bestseller! Stop battling your emotions and engage them to live a better life. You’ve been told that it’s a subtle art to not give a f*ck, to only live, laugh, and love, and to f*ck your feelings. That’s impossible and unhealthy. What if you could stop trying to fix your emotions and work with them instead of against them—even the “bad” ones?Give a F*ck, Actually is the self-help guidebook to doing that with Radical Emotional Acceptance, a simple five-step process for having a healthy relationship with your emotions in real time. Developed by psychiatrist Dr. Alex Wills through over 15,000 hours with patients, REA stops the fight against your own feelings and allows you to acknowledge, accept, interpret, and act on emotions—even the painful ones that you are told to suppress—before they become a problem. Rather than pretending you don’t give a f*ck, REA helps you embrace your f*cks and learn from them emotional data to live a fuller life.Give a F*ck, Actually integrates teaching with anecdotes, historical lessons, and narrative encounters with patients to demonstrate REA in action. The result is an unforgettable how-to guide for emotions that will change your life. Trade Review“Give a F*ck, Actually is an honest, practical, and entertaining guide to feeling, accepting, and learning from your emotions. There are so many self-help tactics out there that just serve to help us avoid our painful emotions as opposed to actually meet, listen, and accept them. Alex Wills has used his experience as a psychiatrist, and as a person committed to working through his own emotional pain, to provide 5 simple pillars to help each of us form a much healthier relationship to our emotions. A highly recommended guide for those looking to live a more emotionally rich and fulfilling life.” —Noah Elkrief, #1 bestselling author of A Guide to the Present Moment "The more deeply you can feel a 'negative' emotion, accept it, and not [necessarily] act on it, the closer you can get emotionally to another person." —Mark Goulston, MD, bestselling author of Just Listen “I'm here to tell you that it works.... Give it a shot!" —Cenk Uyger, The Young Turks "In a world where we spend so much of our time beholden to our emotions, Give a F*ck, Actually does a brilliant job of helping us learn not to beat ourselves up so much. Instead, we learn to enjoy ourselves more. I’ve know Alex for quite a few years and he is not only an exceptional doctor, but he is an even better human with an uncanny ability to put things into a simple, helpful, and (thank f*ck) very entertaining perspective. The more you read, you realize Alex actually gives a f*ck." —JR Richards, Lead singer and songwriter for the platinum-selling, Billboard-award winning band Dishwalla
