Publisher's Summary

In the vein of How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t, a practical guide to acknowledging and getting rid of the nonsense and BS in your life

Exhausted and overworked lawyer, triathlete, wife, and mom Meredith Atwood decided one morning that she'd had it. She didn't take her kids to school. She didn't go to work. She didn't go to the gym. When she pulled herself out of bed hours later than she should have, she found a note from her husband next to two empty bottles of wine and a stack of unpaid bills: You need to get your sh*t together.

And that's what Meredith began to do, starting with identifying the nonsense in her life that was holding her back: saying "yes" too much, keeping frenemies around, and more. In The Year of No Nonsense, Atwood shares what she learned, tackling struggles with work, family, and body image, and also willpower and time management. Ultimately, she's the tough-as-nails coach /slash/ best friend who shares a practical plan for identifying and getting rid of your own nonsense in order to move forward and live an authentic, healthy life. From recognizing lies you believe about yourself and your abilities, to making a "nonsense" list and developing a "no nonsense blueprint", this audiobook walks you through reclaiming yourself with grit and determination, step by step.

With targeted, practical chapters to help you stop feeling stuck and get on with your life, The Year of No Nonsense is equal parts girlfriend and been-there-done-that. The best part? Like any friend, she helps you get to the other side.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Love it!

Meredith writes so well, I do have a list with a few (lots) of non-sense things. Thank you for sharing your story and creating the tool to help others.

the concept is great, but....

I was really looking forward to this one. Great concept and ideas, but the delivery was just grating.

Vocal fry by a middle aged American woman is not cute and coupled with a monotone voice but trying to sound like Brené Brown (without the qualifications) made it difficult to listen and empathise. Sorry Meredith.

I still have a couple of hours left which I will eventually get to, but I'm in no real hurry.

Still a good concept and ideas for those trying to get out of their own way. Might be better to read on pages, not audio, or at least speed it up.

No nonsense self help delivered with a dry sense of humour

Cringe-worthingly honest nowhere to hide from ourselves account of how we travel the journey of self-sabotage,people pleasing and tolerating other people's nonsense
to reaching our limits and pressing the f*** it button. The kick in the pants I was overdue.Meredith I salute you. Thankyou

For those ready for real change

Get ready to be called out on your BS. Not for the weak-hearted. Don’t expect a warm hug with this book. For those ready for real change and don’t want to bury their head in the sand any longer.

A Must Read - highly recommend

If you want a ‘self help’ book with practical recommendations and a down to earth vibe then this is the read for you. It’s helped me leave a toxic work environment and find my passion for life.

A load of nonsense

The author’s deadpan drawl is quite compelling to listen to but sorry this book is a load of nonsense and bit of a waste of time.
