I loved the Calm the F*ck Down book by Sarah Knight and was eager to get my hands on the journal. It forces my brain to take a step back and think things through objectively. Definitely recommend if you’re someone with anxiety who tends to panic when things go slightly sideways.

This one really wasnt my cup of tea- had high hopes for this book and I had a difficult time getting through it.

A good companion to the book. Useful for people wanting a way to immediately action the lessons from Calm the F*ck Down.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

Calm the F*ck Down Journal by Sarah Knight would work better as a physical book rather than as an ebook as it is filled with a lot of blank pages. I think it would make a nice gift for people dealing with anxiety.

This is a really great workbook that helps identify, label and name some of the things that people are feeling. Not only does it help someone identify, it also helps them to get through and possibly coping mechanisms on how to handle what they are experiencing. Sometimes label and naming what you are feeling is the hardest first step. The other hard step can also be to get out of the rut of handling the same thing the same way over and over again. This guide helps to see different avenues but also reminds you that you aren't alone, there are others that feel this way, have dealt with this, and found their way through it.

Also a great reminder was the Goodwill portion. Good to remember there are those outside of your emotions that are shouldering them too. I especially loved and identified with Emotional Puppies and also the mild swearing throughout. Great guide, I loved it!

I received an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.



While I enjoyed flicking through this journal I just don’t feel like it will sell as this author has a ridiculous amount of books and there are also a million other books just like this one which will make it difficult for people to decide which is best.

It does have some great writing prompts though

Enjoyed this book for what it was. I found a few great worksheets to help me with stress/anxiety. It's quite in your face about not worrying about what you can't control and I needed this. This message alone is helpful in making me realize you can't plan for everything, you can only control so much and it's about how you react to the things you can't that matters.

This should be handed out to every single person in 2020. We all need this to help us through these crazy times so we can all gain perspective. Reading Sarah Knight helps you bring focus to you life and set boundaries and priorities.

I enjoyed previous books in the "F*ck It" series but this just felt like an unnecessary cash in. Repetitive, sparse and boring.

This is a small self help journal that I admit I was drawn to simply because it had Fuck in the title. It was okay. I don't feel it was very different from other self help books/journals and that's generally the struggle with these things. It's a genre where everyone has a different/same. opinion on what/how to do things to be/do better and it's only perfect for those who need the same/different opinion on how/what to do things to be/do better. It just wasn't for me, fucks and all.

Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown and Co. for approving my request to read and review Calm the F*ck Down by Sarah Knight.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I began this book. This is the first book I've read by this author,
I found humor among the advice on how to accept what you can't control and how to deal with these things. I enjoyed the author's sense of humor but found myself scanning the pages more than actually reading them.
I felt that there was too much "fluff" added to fill space. Which is unfortunate because I had hoped for more from this book because of the author's hype from previous books.

An interactive journal to help you list down things which worry you, guides you to understand What has happened and how it had affected you, and finally how to accept or work on it. I get that the exercises were really a good way for mental decluttering and gaining a better perspective on our real as well as our imaginary problems.
I received this book as part of net gallery review and would definitely recommend this book to people who can accept that writing down your worries does wonder to your mental fatigue and helps you keep calm.

I'm all for self-help books and have piles of full journals I've kept over the years. There is something about writing and getting your thoughts on paper that is really good for your mental health. This would be a great book to have a physical copy of. I love how it is interactive, funny, and helpful at the same time. I would definitely recommend!

I'm sorry, this book was just not for me. It appears many have loved it, so perhaps this is just a case of "not for me" and not the actual book. In dealing with anxiety, we all have different needs and wants. Different ways of coping. Not all self help books will help all the people. This one, for me, did not really help. I have had anxiety since I was a child (generalized and social) so perhaps some of the reasons this book wasn't "for me" is because of that. I have heard ALL of the things in the book so it was like repeating what I've heard over and over.

The thing is, anxiety is super complex. On a person to person basis. All advice and self help will not work the same for everyone.

"Worrying is a waste of your precious time, energy and money" ... says the author. I found myself saying over and over "yeah, this is easier said than done" some people with anxiety just cannot control their worries like others. Even writing in a journal, reading self help books and medications don't always work. It was wonderful advice! Don't get me wrong. And, it's true. It's just not always possible.
Sometimes I caught myself wondering if maybe this journal would be better for people who have just been diagnosed, not lived a life time of anxiety. Or maybe for people who have minor cases of anxiety, Regardless, this book just was not for me.

Thanks #NetGalley for sending me a review copy of this book!

This is a useful self-help book that walks you through anxiety management strategies and self-reflection, using practical prompts. It;'s a good companion to Knight's "Calm the F*ck Down" book, and for her other writing as well.

I loved this journal! It's not for everyone, some could see it as abrasive, but it was great for me. I definitely want a physical copy.

Having read the author's previous books, I appreciated this workbook/journal to go along with it. Writing down your feelings can really help some people work through anxiety. The language in the book didn't offend me, but it is not for everyone. I would recommend it to my friends that deal with anxiety and are openminded to swearing. I think it is a great way for some people to deal with the anxieties of daily life.

Snarky, funny, and with actual good advice, this journal/workbook is a good tool when you're having a good old freak-out - both for steps on how to (you guessed it) calm the f down, and also for some chuckles to help along the way.

An interesting take on dealing with anxiety in an interactive journal format. I am not much of a writer, so this wasn’t really my cup of tea. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read her previous book on dealing with anxiety rather than jumping right in with the journal.

This book was SO fun to work through despite not having read the book that came before it. Sarah Knight presents things in a clear and humorous way and I recommended this to several people over the holidays who I think might enjoy it as a fresh approach to the new decade.
