Life's Too F***ing Short: A Guide to Getting What You Want Out of Life Without Wasting Time, Effort, or Money

An irreverent, unapologetically opinionated, no-holds-barred manifesto for women who aim to thrive, not just survive, in the 21st century.

"Spend the first minute of every day telling yourself 'I am bloody brilliant'-no one else is going to " Janet Street-Porter proffers pithy pronouncements on everything from platform shoes to climbing the corporate ladder to spa vacations to designer face creams. Unimpressed by industry experts, independent research, and well-meaning but irrelevant journalists, Street-Porter dishes on the dictum that "more is never enough" (a ploy to get you to buy stuff you don't need) and counters with been-there-done-that advice on career advancement (it's not who you know), dating (it is who you know), interior d cor (less is more), diet (less is still more), exercise (more is actually more), and personal ethics (if you don't have any, it's time to get some). So get a grip, because LIFE'S TOO F***ING SHORT to let it pass you by.
