The Year of No Nonsense: How to Get Over Yourself and On with 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, not practising self-care, 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 recognising lies you believe about yourself and your abilities, to making a nonsense list and developing a no nonsense blueprint, this book 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.
