As President Obama is proving by the day, giving no fucks can be a liberating, freeing, and refreshing experience. In fact, if you don't feel liberated, free, and refreshed at the end of your journey to Nofucksville, you just might be in the wrong city. Perhaps you took a wrong exit and ended up in Stillkindagivingafuckpolis or Lastfuckburgh, but you're probably not where you think you are just yet. If you are there, however, it's great and its glorious. (At least that's what I've heard. I'm not there yet either.)

Unfortunately, while there are countless books and seminars and curricula and TED Talks and therapies structured around and catered to people who still give fucks, there's not much out there for people who give none to assist them on their journey. But fortunately I've been able to scour the internet, local libraries, and even a few yard sales to find a few.
