Publisher's Summary

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*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, 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*ck 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.

There are only so many things we can give a f*ck 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*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

very impact full reading

I think this book very nicely dwells into the topic of how to ignore some of these distractions and continue to stay focus on lives key mission critical things.. the language while funny it is certainly is communicating the intent and the message very loud and clear.. thank you very much I enjoyed listening to this book appreciate a good work

Excellent representation of life… as it should be

It is interesting how author (Mark Manson) manages to use the modern day “western” language and represent what is the wisdom of ages documented in texts such as Writings of the Saints of RadhaSoami Faith (Dayalbagh), The Bhagavad Geeta, Saint such as Guru Nanak Dev, Kabir, Rumi and the likes from Taoism and Zen Philosophy. I was also most impression by the reading/narration skills of Roger Wayne.

Very thoughtful

Must read in 30s because that’s when one would have experienced half life and its ambiguities n complexities. The author has captured good observation of life and it’s purpose

Book not to miss ss

It changed my view upon life, success, career and goals. Taught a simple lesson about what to care and what not to. very impressive story narration, totally immersed myself while going thru it. It helped me see myself in a better way

storyline is crystal clear and there are no lessons of self motivation yet it will push you to relook about your self in a better way
