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

This is one of my favorite books I’ve read this year and I can say it truly changed my outlook on life.
This is defiantly written for straight white dudes.
Mark sounds like a dick.
He's so full of himself. He brags constantly and acts like he’s better then every person reading his dumb book. I don’t care about the 100’s of trips you went one. Or all the women you slept with. This is supposed to be a motivational book. You’re supposed to helping people not putting them down constantly.
Also not everyone has the bank account of mummy and daddy to play with. Not everyone can just quit their jobs and write a blog. Fuck off. Sometimes you have to give a fuck. I like having a roof over my head and food in the fridge.
Edit: just read he was a dating coach. wtf? Anyone who claims to be a dating coach or goes to dating courses, your garbage. Stoooooop

Finally a self-help book that calls out the BS of the self-help genre. Funny, insightful, raw, and honest as he teaches us to start not giving an F on stuff we don’t value and start valuing the right stuff. A quick and insightful read.
Great lede with Bukowski story; promising critique of positive-thinking and how self-help focuses on what we lack, but the book quickly becomes repetitive. Still, with a lot of skimming, I finished it.
