A Book About Hope for Everyone

The author of the international mega-bestseller "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" is back with a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. Mark Manson, known for his ability to tackle modern-day issues with wit and wisdom, is set to challenge our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom, and even hope itself.

We live in an intriguing time. Materially, we're better off than any people in human history - we're freer, healthier, and wealthier. Yet, somehow, everything seems irreparably and horribly messed up. The planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on social media. Despite having access to technology, education, and communication that our ancestors couldn't even dream of, many of us are plagued by a pervasive feeling of hopelessness.

In his previous work, Manson brilliantly captured the ever-present, low-level anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us how technology has made it too easy to care about the wrong things, and how our culture has convinced us that the world owes us something when it doesn't. Worst of all, our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only serves to make us unhappier.

Now, in "Everything Is F*cked," Manson shifts his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from psychological research and the timeless wisdom of philosophers, he dissects the uncomfortable ways in which religion and politics have come to resemble one another. He delves into our relationships with money, entertainment, and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically consume us.

With his signature mix of erudition and unexpected humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected to the world in ways we may have never considered. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our souls, delivered by one of the great modern writers.

Prepare to have your definitions of faith, happiness, freedom, and even hope itself openly defied. Manson's latest work is set to become another agenda-setting book that will shape the discourse for years to come.
