Description

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 for just showing up. He argues that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade but on learning to stomach lemons better. He advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them-because 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.
