'So important' SARAH KNIGHT

TRYING TO BE A SUPERHUMAN IS OUT. BEING A HALF-ARSE HUMAN IS IN.

Have you ever shaved one leg and forgotten the other? Eaten cereal out of a mug with a fork? Washed your clothes, forgotten to hang them up and then found them smelling worse than before?

Congratulations - you're a half-arser! Welcome to the club. There are more of us than you might think.

In Half-Arse Human, Leena Norms helps you harness the power of considered chaos and upgrade the parts of your life that really matter, without expending more than you have to give. Living a slap-dash life isn't something to be ashamed of - it might just be your secret weapon.

In a world of high-flyers and hustle, this book won't launch you into orbit, but it will get you off the ground - and you will enjoy the ride.
