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*ck positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let’s be honest, shit is f*cked, 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*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed by both 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*ck 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.

The book arrived in excellent condition and is definitely a good conversation piece by simply having on your bookshelf or coffee table. But, what about the contents of the book? The books gives a very interesting alternative outlook on things that we face in life. I will simply leave it at that so I do not spoil the book if you decide to get it, but I recommend getting it. It is worth the read.

The book was well written – a bit of wisdom, a bit of humor; a nice blend. However, if you use the title of the book in your review, Amazon will purge it because of their profanity policy. Note that’s I was using the exact word as constructed in the title – with the Asterisk.
It’s a little hypocritical of Amazon to sell a book with a word in the title you can repeat in the review. Again, I wasn’t using “the” word, I was using the same PC version with the asterisk.

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.

This book offers a counterintuitive approach to teach you WHAT to care about and what not to care about. Among many teachings, it delves into how we measure our level of happiness and life satisfaction using values and metrics: if you have bad values and metrics, you’ll never be happy. By reconsidering what are good values and good metrics that we can implement into our life, we can make a drastic change for a better life.
I 100% recommend this book if you’re looking to genuinely improve your life and willing to make a change. I now have a better approach to evaluating the actual important stuff in my life. Overall, a very interesting and witty read.

To say I was primed and ready for this book, would be an understatement. Prior to finding this book I had recently just gone through a very sudden and unexpected breakup with the woman I believed I was going to spend the rest of my life with, but it wasn’t to be so and I was devastated. I initially searched myself for answers of what I had done and how we had gotten here. I knew that something in me had to change so I wouldn’t repeat the same old routine.
I sought to right wrongs I had done to people, people I was shitty to and some accepted, others didn’t and I felt a little better but I was in a very dark place, darker than I ever have been.
It has been a while before I stumbled upon this book, really by accident and bought it because the title grabbed me immediately and let me tell you I am so glad I did. Most of the reviews will tell you everything you need to know about this book.
My personal take is Mark Manson is not a self help guru nor does he claim to be, there no daily affirmations to make you feel better about yourself and you are not going to eat rainbows and shit out unicorns upon completion of the book. He actually gives the reader something that will change their lives and keep changing for the better.
It forced me to look deeply at my value system,core beliefs, and my self like I never have before. The title is not so much what the book is about. Sure there is very colorful language but it makes you feel like you are talking directly to the writer. There is so much that I highlighted while reading just so I can reference back and will be using this book going forward.
Mark’s main point is that there are things we should care about and things that we should not waste our fucks on, we are not perfect, everything is never always ok, we are constantly in a state of choosing, even when we don’t choose. Our brain lies to us, It’s ok when shit doesn’t go right and we are all gonna die one day.
There is a lot of humor in this book , yes even in the serious stuff. It’s a very easy read and this is from someone who struggles through books, I literally could not put it down.
I strongly suggest this book and if you read it I’d like to know your thoughts.
Finally, I will say, I am a work in progress, I hope I make the right decisions going forward but I may not and if I dont, well just refer to the title of the book.

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.
