Say “hell no!” to saying yes to everything with the help of Lean the F*ck Out Just don't do it. From the mental load to the laundry load to the everyday load of BS—you carry it all and then some. You’re killing it at work, cooking super healthy sh*t at home, parenting like it’s an Olympic sport, saving the Earth one paper straw at a time, and still going to bed feeling like you should have done more. Time to join the revolution. Hop off the hamster wheel of endless guilt and responsibilities and start enjoying the kind of calm that would make a Buddhist master blush. Talia Argondezzi's Lean the F*ck Out is a joyful manifesto on the benefits of using shortcuts, delegating like a checked-out boss, failing at things that don’t matter, and claiming your joy. All you have to do is: - Be a B student for once in your perfection-driven life. - Let some things slide. (Really. It’s okay.) - Untangle your self-worth from your achievements. - Make time for that good, good sh*t. - Say goodbye to burnout and feel like yourself again.

I am now over 80 and a working silversmith. I tell the story of my early life at the end of the Second World War and its aftermath of shortages and rationing. I continue with the great difficulty I had with reading and writing leading to my disastrous failures at school and my first employment as a scientific assistant in the nuclear industry. During my first job my life changed in two major ways while working for the Atomic Energy Research Establishment. Their very forward-looking attitude to further education allowed me to add more ‘O’ levels, including the very important English, but as importantly, during that time I got married and before long had a daughter as well. I then decided to make the leap and try to obtain a medical degree but with only very basic ‘O’ levels I would first have to gain higher qualifications. I left full time employment for a Technical College in an attempt to add the three ‘A’ levels required for admission to Medical School but this was of course complicated by having wife and young daughter. To support us during this time I worked as a toolmaker, chauffeur, gardener and eventually trained as a London Ambulance driver. This very tortuous journey eventually gained me a place at Guy’s Hospital Medical School. I continue the tale with a number of vignettes of life at Guy’s Hospital as a medical student and the many unusual ways I increased my income during my studentship. I cover the time spent after qualification as a houseman in other hospitals. I finish with life as a General Practitioner and in Medical Research where I gained a PhD. I found that the higher up the academic tree I climbed the less my dyslexia, which I discovered I had when a medical student, impinged on my work and life. As an aside I hope that any youngsters with dyslexia reading this account will take heart that being dyslexic is not the end of the world.

Set in late nineteenth-century London, it gives an inside look into an immigrant community that was almost as mysterious to the more established middle-class Jews of Britain as to the non-Jewish population.
