When Mark Manson wrote The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life he had a couple goals in mind. The first goal was to get people to stop giving a fuck about certain things and the other goal was to point out the stuff that truly matters.
“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, “and while money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience.”
Manson can speak from firsthand experience — the author/entrepreneur specializes in writing personal development advice that doesn’t suck and his website MarkManson.net is read by over 2 million people each month. He’s also a best-selling author thanks to this book.
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.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
