THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK
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. 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. 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.
