NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of the international
mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a
counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an
interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever
been-we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human
history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and
horribly f*cked-the planet is warming, governments are failing,
economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on
Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to
technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn't even
dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of
hopelessness. What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our
current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson
published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that
brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of
anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology
had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our
culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it
didn't-and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to
always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead,
the "subtle art" of that title turned out to be a bold challenge:
to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you
want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international
phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the
#1 bestseller in 13 different countries. Now, in Everthing Is
F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each
individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world
around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these
topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as
Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics
and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another.
He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the
internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat
us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness,
freedom-and even of hope itself. With his usual mix of erudition
and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the
collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and
connected with the world in ways we probably haven't considered
before. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our
hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers
has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to
come.
