Self-Help Book for Not Caring

In this self-help guide that defines a generation, a superstar blogger cuts through the clutter to show us how to stop trying to be positive all the time, allowing us to truly become better, happier people. For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. However, "Fck positivity," says Mark Manson. "Let's be honest, shit is fcked, 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, providing a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed by both 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. Manson makes clear that there are only so many things we can give a fck about, so we need to figure out which ones really matter. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is 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, providing a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
