This is essentially the most mindless book I have listened to. Everything else is absolutely worthless and cheap drivel. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck?Īnything but the first chapter. He adds a sense of credibility where there isn't any. Seems to make an unreadable book somewhat listenable. What does Roger Wayne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? Would you ever listen to anything by Mark Manson again? What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?Ī (well) thought out argument would have been nice. 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. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. 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. 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. Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. 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 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. 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. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. '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. 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.įor decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life.
