Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Giving a Fuck: A Countercurrent Guide to Being Yourself

< Back

In this practical guide that is revolutionizing the current generation, a celebrity blogger shows us how to stop trying to be “positive” all the time and become really better and happier.

For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy and rich life. “F**k positivity,” says Mark Manson. “Let's be honest, things suck and we have to live with it.” In his very popular Internet blog, Mark Manson doesn't make things any nicer or equivocal. He says it as it is — a dose of raw, refreshing, and honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is her antidote to the spirit of kindness that has contaminated American society and spoiled an entire generation, rewarding them with gold medals simply for being present.

Human beings are flawed and limited - “not everyone can be amazing, there are winners and losers in society, and some of that is neither fair nor your fault.” Manson advises us to learn to know our limits and to accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, stop running away and avoid, and start dealing with painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, persistence, honesty, honesty, responsibility, and curiosity that we're looking for.
