The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a
superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to
be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier
people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is
the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says.
"Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his
wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He
tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is
sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is
his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has
infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with
gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument,
backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that
improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into
lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are
flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are
winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your
fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept
them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop
running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin
to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity,
and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can
give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter,
Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with
your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A
much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of
real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor,
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
