A famous blogger sifts through the nonsense in this generation-defining self-help book to teach us how to quit striving to be "positive" all the time and start being better, happier people instead.
We have been taught for decades that the secret to a happy, fulfilling life is to think positively. "Screw positivity," declares Mark Manson. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." Manson doesn't mince words or provide any excuses in his enormously famous blog on the Internet. He delivers a dose of unadulterated, energising, and honest truth that is desperately absent in today's world. His response to the coddling, feel-good mentality that has permeated American culture and spoilt a generation by awarding them gold medals for just turning up is The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k.
Manson argues—supported by academic studies as well as opportune poop jokes—that being better at handling adversity will help us live better lives than mastering the art of making lemonade out of lemons. "Not everyone can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault" refers to the limitations and flaws in human nature. Manson suggests that we acknowledge and accept our limits. We may discover the bravery, tenacity, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we want once we accept our anxieties, flaws, and doubts; once we stop evading and start facing up to hard realities.
Manson makes it obvious that we have to decide which issues are really important since there are only so many things we can care about. Although having money is good, having a sense of purpose in life is more important, since genuine riches is derived from experience. A much-needed reality check, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is full with amusing anecdotes and coarse, brutal humour. It's a welcome wake-up call for a generation hoping to lead happy, responsible lives.
