Blending memoir and blistering social observations, the author of The F*ck It Diet looks back at her desperate attempts to heal her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections through extreme diets, culty self-help methods, and melodramatic bargains with the universe.

Offering a frank and funny critique of the cultural forces that are driving us mad, Caroline Dooner examines how treating ourselves like never ending self-improvement projects is a recipe for burnout. We have become unknowingly complicit in perpetuating our own exhaustion because we are treating ourselves like machines. But even phones need to f*cking recharge.

Caroline takes a good hard look at the dark side of self-help, and explains how she eventually used a radical period of rest to push back against cultural expectations and reclaim some peace.

Tired As F*ck empowers us to say no to the things that exhaust us. It inspires us to carve out time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity.

This is not a self-help book, it’s a cautionary tale. It’s an honest look at the dogma of wellness and spiritual self-improvement culture and revels in the healing power of rest and letting shit go.

Review

“I laugh-cried all the way though this biting critique of self-help bullshit and manipulative power structures. Dooner has written something deeply of the moment and relatable as f*ck.” -- Amanda Montell, author of Cultish and Wordslut

“This book is what Caroline Dooner does best. . . . Hilarious, relatable, yet unflinchingly honest, Tired as F*ck is an empowering memoir every woman needs to read. As a therapist, I am increasingly concerned about the toll hustle culture is taking on our lives, and Caroline tackles this topic head-on while also guiding readers back to themselves. In a time when most memoirs shout ‘if I accomplished this, you can do it, too!,’ Tired as F*ck implores us to truly take care of ourselves and f*cking rest.” -- Amanda White, author of Not Drinking Tonight

“For anyone who is tired of sacrificing their sanity to fit into a smaller pair of jeans, Tired as F*ck highlights our complicated relationship with success, beauty, and health. When itcomes to wellness trends, Caroline has tried it all. With the voice of a funny, honest, andrelatable friend, she takes you on her journey to find acceptance by any means necessary.This book will force you to see just how wildly obsessed we’ve become with the quest forbeauty, thinness, and pseudo ‘health’ that you just may decide to get off the roller coasterand rest, too.” -- Whitney Goodman, LMFT, author of Toxic Positivity

“Tired as F*ck takes the F*ck It Diet mindset and focuses it on the countless ways we must rebel against the ‘hustle and grind’ culture that leaves us exhausted and depleted. Dooner opens up about her own anxieties and trauma in a style that is somehow light and hopeful, inviting us all to consider how we’ve grown up and grown older in a world that asks us to prioritize progress and productivity over actual health and well-being. This book is the reminder we all need to redefine what health, happiness, and hustle mean in our everyday lives.” -- Lexie Kite, PHD, coauthor of More Than a Body

“Tired as F*ck is, quite frankly, relatable as f*ck. With her relatable stories and humorous writing, Caroline will make you feel seen, heard, and understood in an experience we all know too well: feeling constantly exhausted but not being able to pinpoint why. In a society that’s constantly burned out, this book will reenergize you—physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.” -- Mary Jelkovsky, author of The Gift of Self-Love

“Caroline manages to weave her personal stories into the broader cultural narrative in a way that makes you simultaneously laugh, cringe, exhale, and feel less alone. Smart, funny, witty, and just in time, Tired as F*ck is exactly the kind of medicine we need right now.” -- Laura Mckowen, bestselling author of We Are the Luckiest and founder of The Luckiest Club --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

A great read

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 18, 2022

I wanted to read this book because I completely agree with the title - yes that is how I feel so much of the time. I had also read her first book as well as many other books about Eating Disorders. I don't know why I expected this book to not talk about Eating Disorders but when it triggered me I knew that I had some more work to do. By the end of the book I felt seen and heard, as well as not alone. That it's okay to not do what society deems as "normal".

An Absolute *MUST* Read

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 11, 2022

Dooner has a real gift for story telling; sharing her own life experiences in ways that feel incredibly relatable, not necessarily in their details, but in their deeper meaning and impact.
She effortlessly demonstrates how societal pressures, expectations and perceptions are all too often dangerously soul crushing, traumatizing and simply exhausting.
While this is not a self help book, it is most definitely a profoundly healing one. 5 Stars Plus!

Engaging memoir, Dooner shares her life stories with such honesty and vulnerability and humour that you can't help but get fully absorbed in her trials and tribulations. Learned a lot and very inspired by her wise advice

This is Caroline’s second book. Can be read before or after The F*ckIt Diet or stand alone. A bit autobiographical with practical help at the end. Would not really classify this as a “self help” book. Most woman can relate to the content.

Such a needed story for all us feeling the need to hustle

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 20, 2022

Caroline has faced a lot of obstacles in our culture that carelessly pushes diets and endless hustling, and learning from that experience is enlightening and also funny along the way. Even though my own struggles haven’t been with dieting so much, I still relate the feelings that underlie all of this behaviour. Such a great read!

Amazing! I couldn't put this book down! I related to so much of this. I love Caroline's writing style and that she can bring humour to some of the deep issues covered. Giving ourselves permission to give ourselves a break is so hard but so needed. Thank you Caroline for saying what we all need to hear!

Do you never feel good enough & even balk at the title because rest seems so weak? This is for you

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2022

I devoured this in two days. I'll admit, even though I have been doing The F*ck It Diet for 3 weeks and that book is completely blowing my mind, even though I decided that this year I would not set goals and I would try to figure out why I have to constantly be busy and productive and why I never feel good enough, part of me balked at the title. "Um, no I am not tired, to be tired would make me lazy, and I am NOT lazy!" I'm so glad I gave it a chance.

I even bought the audiobook in addition to the Kindle version so I could keep listening (wonderful narration by Caroline!). I can't quite even articulate how much Caroline's books have shifted my mindset and made me take stock of my life. I only started following The F*ck It Diet about 3 weeks ago, and have been reading it slowly as I do the work, because it is such a monumental mindset shift. I bought this book figuring I'd read it afterwards, but I started it and then couldn't stop. Caroline's candid vulnerability allowed me to see so many parallels in my own life in the way that I think only this true openness could.

I had started this year with a similar realization as her - maybe I needed to just stop the relentless goals and the relentless drive to be more productive. I'm so tired; I feel so ashamed. The goals aren't working. I decided to focus on mindfulness and maybe figuring out why I feel so horribly unproductive and behind no matter what I do. This led me to asking my friend about the F*ck It Diet (which I'd previously resisted as seeming "pretty irresponsible" as I limped along with my less and less effective and more restrictive diets), which led me to Caroline's Instagram, which led me to this book.

I was even able to see some of my self help methodologies that I would have normally defended vehemently, in a new light. More and more, from so many sources, I am now seeing and realizing the importance of allowing ourselves to be human and feel our human feelings and treat our human selves humanely. And I appreciate how Caroline could articulate so many things in the perfect way for me to understand and have a gentle realization. The book is funny, it is heartbreaking, it is so human. Let's stop being so hard on ourselves. I'm ready to declutter and to rest and to listen to myself. Thank you, Caroline.

I turned 30 last year, and with my birthday I also received an extra helping of existential dread. I’ve been dieting off and on since I was 10, convinced that if I could just stay thin, eschewing the pleasure of food and drink, I would find fulfillment. Turning 30 made me turn up the pressure on myself. Who cares that I just had a baby and have barely slept in six months. Work harder, get up earlier, eat less. People will know you had your fourth child and are getting older, as if that’s something to be ashamed of, if you don’t put the work in! I’ve Marie Kondoed the crap out of my life over and over, each Monday a fresh start, and I wondered why I was still so tired, and anxious. Caroline says what we’ve all thought, and been too afraid to say out loud. It’s ok to not be extraordinary at everything. The pressure we’re putting on ourselves to keep all our crap together no matter what, is destroying our lives and making us miserable. Reading Caroline’s journey through the ups and downs of self help and diet culture was like a breath of fresh air. I devoured this book in 2 evenings and it left me feeling as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Yes I still have anxiety, yes I’m still getting older, but this book has helped me give myself permission to just rest. Thank you!

Not helpful for me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2022

I was really excited for this book after hearing the author on a podcast. I hate writing a negative review because I’m afraid to make the author more insecure if she reads it, but I think it’s helpful for people to understand what they’re getting.

This is definitely a captivating book, but kind of like a car crash, you just can’t look away. But it’s not as helpful as I was hoping. I’m about 2/3 of the way through it and haven’t really found any insights that I can use to improve my own life. I was hoping this would be as insightful as hearing her speak, but it’s not for me. It’s almost like she write it while she was struggling still, but now is wiser. I want to hear more of her “now” and less of the struggle. I’m also less interested in the diet topic, which is why I bought this this one and not her first book, but this book is still very much about her struggles with food.

It’s an entertaining read, but not full of the helpful ideas she talks about these days. Maybe I’ll just stick to podcasts.

Since I LOVED Caroline Dooner's first book and found it life-changing, I was eagerly awaiting her second follow up book that I thought would focus on our very American addiction to busy-ness and the valor of being "so tired". Unfortunately, I found the book to almost read like all the deleted chapters from The F*#ck It Diet. Tired as F*#ck outlined her journey using "self-help" cultural fads and faith to attempt to heal herself, but did little to elucidate the "why" of our addiction to over-scheduling and the obsession with individual exceptionalism. The book really didn't have anything to say. It is a basically well-written memoir from someone who hasn't lived very long. I was disappointed.
