The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

By Mark Manson

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. 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.

Most of my reviews contain a passage, quote or highlight that moved me in someway. In this case , The opening chapter "Don't Try" had this Yoda fan girl at the start. Chapter 5 is full of perspective and was my favorite. I really enjoyed the laughs and respectful reflections on Buddhism along the way. Don't let the title turn you away, but it's obviously not for the expletive sensitive.

I decided to reread this year, it did not disappoint and was a good reminder of what not to give a f*ck about.

Absolutely a great read! Light, quick, simple, makes perfect sense and very interesting. I plan on buying the actual book (I checked the one I read out from the library) to keep it with me, as a reminder... I choose what I give a fuck about!
