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. “F**k positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat 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 mindset that has infected modern 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 f**k 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*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

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: Boastful writing!
Review: 2.5/5. The book title is catchy for the obvious reason of having in it a “F” word. It also starts with a lot of abusive language so much so that it gets irritating. Perhaps author thought that boasting about his rugged life as a youngster and use of abuse will give this book a cool feeling – but it absolutely doesn’t. Overall it is a shallow writing and author has repeated the same old concepts little differently. Only because this is a small book and won’t take more than 5 hours, I easily finished it. It feels like a very arrogant and boastful writing.The book has got very few interesting ideas or new perspectives. It stresses on focusing on our negative experiences and accept these as normal stating that ‘The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.’ It claims that happiness comes from solving problems and how important it is for us to understand which problem do we like to solve to be happy. It talks about understanding and choosing right values for us. The author talks about the Five counter-intuitive values as below one can most beneficially-1.Radical form of responsibility: taking responsibility for everything that occurs in your life, regardless of who’s at fault.2.Uncertainty: the acknowledgement of your own ignorance and the cultivation of constant doubt in your own beliefs.3.Failure: the willingness to discover your own flaws and mistakes so that they may be improved upon.4.Rejection: the ability to both say and hear no, thus clearly defining what you will and will not accept in your life.5.Contemplation of one’s own mortality: this one is crucial, because paying vigilant attention to one’s own death is perhaps the only thing capable of helping us keep all our other values in proper perspective.The author continues to say that ‘Often the only difference between a problem being painful or being powerful is a sense that we chose it, and that we are responsible for it. When we feel that we’re choosing our problems, we feel empowered. When we feel that our problems are being forced upon us against our will, we feel victimized and miserable.’I liked below perspectives given by the author in particular-#We don’t actually know what a positive or negative experience is. Some of the most difficult and stressful moments of our lives also end up being the most formative and motivating. Some of the best and most gratifying experiences of our lives are also the most distracting and demotivating. Don’t trust your conception of positive/negative experiences. All that we know for certain is what hurts in the moment and what doesn’t. And that’s not worth much.#The “Do Something”Principle – Action isn’t just the effect of motivation; it’s also the cause of it. Action leads to inspiration which ultimately leads to motivation. So always ‘Do Something’.#The difference between a healthy and an unhealthy relationship comes down to two things: 1) how well each person in the relationship accepts responsibility, and 2) the willingness of each person to both reject and be rejected by their partner.#When trust is destroyed, it can be rebuilt only if the following two steps happen: 1) the trust-breaker admits the true values that caused the breach and owns up to them, and 2) the trust-breaker builds a solid track record of improved behavior over time. Without the first step, there should be no attempt at reconciliation in the first place.

Review: In this world full of strife, disillusionment, insecurities and rampant inflated egos it was absolutely refreshing to hear someone cut the bullshit and speak unapologetically about the frank realities of life. It really helped my psyche and my brain to release and to process the challenges I’ve been facing recently. I’ve been craving honesty like this all of my life and I’m so glad to find something that resonates with my inner truth, to combat the constant, generic narratives in our world set on repeat like commercial dogma. Thank you, Mark Manson, for taking the time to write and share this with the world. It made me smile, laugh, meditate and appreciate perspective with a completely open mind. And, I also learned quite a bit of historical facts from your storytelling too! I will keep this book handy whenever I need mental refreshment. I highly recommend this book!

Review: I usually do not read motivational books, but this book caught my attention right from the title, so I gave it a try, and I liked it. The idea of happiness is gained with effort and even pain and that It does not depends on magical external acts that we wait or ask for to reach happiness was spot on and is what I believe too. Takes responsibility for our actions and the control of our lives. With an impeccable style, funny and with live examples to make his point, this is a very interesting and a must to all who needs some answers about life.

Review: Der Artikel “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” bietet eine erfrischende Perspektive darauf, wie man ein erfülltes Leben führen kann. Mark Manson fordert den Leser auf, nicht nach Glück zu streben, sondern nach etwas viel Wertvollerem: der Akzeptanz. Er argumentiert, dass sich unser Glück erhöht, wenn wir aufhören, uns um Dinge zu kümmern, die wir nicht kontrollieren können, und uns stattdessen auf das konzentrieren, was wirklich wichtig ist.Mansons kantiger Stil ist sowohl unterhaltsam als auch nachdenklich anregend. Er verwendet anschauliche Beispiele und ehrliche Anekdoten, um seine Punkte zu veranschaulichen. Was am meisten auffällt, ist seine Fähigkeit, komplexe philosophische Konzepte auf eine Weise zu erklären, die für jedermann verständlich ist.Der Artikel ist besonders ansprechend für diejenigen, die mit dem ständigen Druck des modernen Lebens zu kämpfen haben. Manson ermutigt uns, die Dinge lockerer zu nehmen und uns nicht von Erwartungen oder dem Urteil anderer unter Druck setzen zu lassen. Er lehrt uns die Kraft der Selbstakzeptanz und die Notwendigkeit, uns in unseren Fehlern zu suhlen, anstatt sie zu leugnen.Auch wenn der Titel des Artikels etwas vulgär sein mag, ist sein Kern voller Weisheit und praktischer Ratschläge. “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” ist eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für jeden, der sich nach einem authentischeren und erfüllteren Leben sehnt. Es ist ein kraftvoller Aufruf, die Dinge aus einer anderen Perspektive zu betrachten, die Akzeptanz zu umarmen und zu erkennen, dass es im Leben darum geht, sich nicht zu sehr darum zu kümmern.
