“If you’re easily offended, stop reading now. This isn’t the book for you.”

The book’s description on Amazon:

Are you tired of feeling fu*ked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unfu*ked version of yourself. ‘’Wake up to the miracle you are,’’ he directs. ‘’Here’s what you’ve forgotten: You’re a fu*king miracle of being.’’ It isn’t other people that are standing in your way, it isn’t even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive, it’s yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

In Unfu*k Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions:

I am willing.

I am wired to win.

I got this.

I embrace the uncertainty.

I am not my thoughts; I am what I do.

I am relentless.

I expect nothing and accept everything.

Lindsay Whalen: Head Coch is My Favorite Thing This Week

Dan Evans

Whalen entered this role without any coaching experience of her own. But while other programs are often criticized for hiring an inexperienced former player or a program alumnus just for the name value, Minnesota’s hiring of Whalen is different. None of Whalen’s former coaches view the hire as a risk for the program—most of them actually believe the opposite. “She’s ingrained in that community,” Staley said. “She has been a favorite for all of her life. And for her to give back in the way of championships and to give back in the way of community service, and now giving back by coaching the University of Minnesota, you know, she’s a part of the fabric of that entire state.” Auriemma said that Whalen’s hiring “moves the needle” for the program, and Borton emphasized Whalen’s past with the program. “She helped build a winning culture, so she knows what it feels like, what it takes.”
