#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 5 million copies sold 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**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be
honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly
popular Internet blog, Mason 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**k is his
antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has
infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them
with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument,
backed both by 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**k 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**k is a refreshing slap for
a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
