Positive thinking is the secret to leading a happy, fulfilling life, we’ve been told for decades. Mark Manson says, “F**k positivity. Let’s face it, sh*t is f**ked, and we must accept that. Manson doesn’t mince words or use ambiguity in his enormously well-read Internet blog. He says it like it is, giving today’s world a much-needed dose of unvarnished, energizing honesty. His response to the coddling, make everyone feel good mentality that has invaded American society and spoilt a generation by giving them gold medals merely for showing up is The Subtle Art of Not Caring a F**k.

- Resilience, happiness and freedom come from knowing what to care about--and most importantly, what not to care about. This is a masterful, philosophical and practical book that will give readers the wisdom to be able to do just that. (Ryan Holiday, New York Times bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy) “Mark's ability to dig deep and offer amazing, yet counter-intuitive, insight into the challenges of life makes him one of my favorite writers, and this book is his
Manson makes the case that improving our lives depends less on our capacity to convert lemons into lemonade and more on developing a better stomach for lemons, a claim supported by both academic data and well-timed poop humour. Because of their flaws and limitations, humans cannot be perfect; there are victors and losers in society, and sometimes it’s your responsibility. Manson counsels us to recognize and accept our limitations.
We can start to develop the courage, persistence, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek once we embrace our fears, flaws, and doubts, once we stop fleeing from and avoiding hard facts, and instead start facing them head-on.
Manson makes it plain that there are only so many things we can care about, so we need to decide which ones actually important. Money is good, but it’s preferable to care about what you do with your life because real wealth comes from experience. The Subtle Art of Not Caring a F**k is a welcome slap for a generation to help them lead happy, grounded lives. It is a much-needed moment of real discussion that will grab you by the shoulders and look you in the eye.
