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. “Fuck positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let’s be honest, shit is fucked and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugar-coat 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 mind-set 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 fuck 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 truly lead contented, grounded lives.

Title: I know it’s a little late but….it’s important.
Review: I’ll be honest, I ordered the book on 10th October 2022 and I only started reading this book on 26th June 2024.I initially ordered the book on a casual basis I kinda wanted to change but I lacked the conviction so I just read one or two pages and stopped (Boy was I sooo wrong).The past few months have been rough, things haven’t been pleasant (due to my own doings).Lowkey felt depressed but this time I’ve decided to change for good (I’m still improving and I’ve made some changes which I hope work out in the long term).All that aside (The backstory was needed because it was relevant to the change the book is and will bring about me) let’s talk about the book now,Firstly I can’t emphasize how good and engaging this book is, Mark is an excellent author and has a keen eye for people (and their behaviours). The book feels more like reading a novel instead of a self help book (in case you feel they’re too mundane and boring), filled with a lot of relevant examples to the topic being discussed.This book was a mirror to my inner self it confronted me with things about myself I didn’t know, as well as things I always knew but chose to ignore and neglect. It makes you ponder your choices, your behaviours everything that makes you ”You”.The initial chapters of the book were depressing me more than motivating me but as I read through more chapters and changed a few of my habits, I realized that the reason for not liking the earlier chapters were because they highlighted and brought out the bad values in front of me.Something I don’t think I would’ve even thought about doing or changing. It’s teaching me how to tackle my own problems and the past few days have genuinely felt good.I know it’s kind of a long review but I can’t stress enough how a good of a book this is doesn’t matter whether you are old, young, successful or not or whatever stage of life you’re in, this book will most Definitely help you.After I complete this I’m definitely willing to buy other books from Mark.

Title: Unconventional Wisdom, you’d love reading it
Review: This is one book that would definitely catch your eye, owing to its bright orange cover and a title that’s so unconventional! Kudos to Mark Manson for this! I don’t think I’d have picked this up otherwise.Okay. First things first, whether you like the book or not, whether you take anything substantial away from this book or not, whether you implement any wisdom described in the book in your life or not, I think you would definitely enjoy the way this book is written, its language and the general fun feeling of reading through a book, which I would safely put in the genre of ‘Unconventional Wisdom’.I loved reading this book! I think it’s very relatable, the way the author has described various instances and examples. However, implementing the same attitude in your life might be tricky and difficult. If you can implement it the way the author intends to, I think you would be on your path to a successful life. I think this book is especially useful for people who keep worrying about trivial things way too much. The book will teach you to focus on larger things and don’t care about petty stuff that has no meaning or effect on your life.The book will also teach you to embrace mediocrity because admit it, not everyone is going to be great. But it also teaches you that such acceptance is the first step towards achieving something better, if not something great.However, I think the book’s target audience is the younger generation, young adults. The book will make you realize some things which you already know but you couldn’t admit to yourself. Some parts would be extremely funny, just because of the way certain things are described and put together in the book. Some other parts would be really enlightening. Also, there would be times when the author reminisces about his past, which can get slightly boring and dragging, even exaggerated.Some of my favorite quotes from the book:- “People who become great at something become great because they understand that they’re not already great – they are mediocre, they are average – and that they could be so much better.”- “You always get to choose how you see things, how you react to things, how you value things.”- “If you’re stuck on a problem, don’t sit there and think about it, just start working on it. Even if you don’t know what you’re doing, the simple act of working on it will eventually cause the right ideas to show up in your head.”- “You too are going to die, and that’s because you too were fortunate enough to have lived.”- “Pain, in all of its forms, is our body’s most effective means of spurring action.”- “Not giving a f does not mean being indifferent, it means being comfortable with being different.”To conclude, I would recommend this one to my fellow readers (or non-readers). Cheers!

Title: A book with really great topics but slightly underdelivered
Review: Here’s everything about my experience from the first to the last page….and yes there are some consWhat should be your purpose to read this book?If you think this a self help book that will help you learn how to not give a F*ck about things, be ready for some twists. This book is more about how to know what to give a F*ck about. The autor has done a great job of pointing out your obvious but unrecognised mistakes you make everyday.Now although the book is great and well spoken of, we all know that no book ever is perfect…1) Sounds silly but the initial chapters of the book will make this book feel like a joke. Not because of the content delivered, but the amount of times the writer uses the word F*ck to make it “so called” funny and engaging. I literary googled how many times he used the word.2) The books delivers the content it’s titled up to 6-7 chapters after which it feels like he unnecessarily talked about relationship stuff and his life as he lived possibly to make it a 200 page book. Being a cover to cover reader, I just felt like one shouldn’t waste time reading the last two chapters.Here’s my final score :Condition of book : 10/10 (Matte finish)Readability : 9/10 (Won’t feel bored)Valuable content : 7/10 (Personal opinion)Practicality : 8/10Use of the word F*ck : 100/10Would recommend reading : YesHappy reading 🙂

Review: Mark Manson’s book, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck,” presents a refreshing and unconventional approach to self-help, focusing on embracing life’s limitations and focusing on what truly matters. Here’s a detailed review:Pros: 1. Straightforward and Honest: Manson’s writing is blunt, humorous, and filled with profanity, which makes the book engaging and relatable. He doesn’t sugarcoat his advice, making it refreshingly honest. 2. Counterintuitive Approach: The book challenges the typical self-help narrative that promotes constant positivity. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of recognizing and accepting our limitations and flaws. 3. Practical Advice: Manson provides actionable steps for readers to apply his concepts in their lives. He encourages readers to focus on values and priorities that truly matter, rather than striving for constant happiness. 4. Engaging Stories: The book is filled with personal anecdotes, historical references, and humorous examples that illustrate Manson’s points effectively. These stories make the concepts more relatable and memorable. 5. Focus on Values: Manson highlights the importance of choosing values that are meaningful and rejecting those that are superficial. This focus on values helps readers identify what is truly important in their lives.Cons: 1. Profanity: The frequent use of profanity might be off-putting for some readers. While it adds to the book’s candid tone, it may not appeal to everyone. 2. Repetitive Themes: Some readers might find the themes repetitive as the book reinforces its core messages throughout. However, this repetition can also help solidify the concepts. 3. Pessimistic Tone: The book’s focus on embracing negative experiences and limitations might come across as pessimistic to some readers. It’s important to approach the book with an open mind to fully appreciate its perspective.Overall:“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” by Mark Manson is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that challenges conventional self-help advice. Its honest, no-nonsense approach encourages readers to focus on what truly matters and let go of unnecessary worries. Despite some minor drawbacks like the use of profanity and a potentially pessimistic tone, the book’s practical advice and engaging storytelling make it a valuable addition to the self-help genre. – I personally like the profanity, lol!

Title:
Review: It is a good book to give you a different perspective from the common way to live and for sure something that is worth to practice in your benefit, your happiness and your future… is to pick your values and to live with them in mind, the end is the cherry on the top, I would say is about having in mind that you will die one day so pick your fights wisely.
