    In his tender but tough take on the self-help genre, popular blogger and accidental life coach Mark Manson makes a convincing case for caring less to achieve more.
     
    The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck offers deeply insightful—and occasionally profane—advice by cutting through the crap and offering the honest, raw truth. Manson’s program for self-improvement insists that by not being positive all the time, we can accept our limitations, embrace our fears, and live a grounded, truthful, and happy life.

      Powering Our Own Happiness

      Jan 1, 2020

      When I was a young girl, my annual birthday wish was always “I just want to be happy”. Sometime in my late 20s, I realised that happiness is a choice, and not a fleeting emotion. Happiness is not a destination – it’s a decision. But how do we get the

    Context

    The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a reaction to traditional self-help books, which typically prescribe one of three things: a) staying positive no matter what; b) building up your self-esteem by saying nice things about yourself; or c) adopting the teachings of an exotic belief system or cultlike figure. Mark Manson doesn’t agree with any of these approaches. He’s neither a self-appointed guru nor positivity pusher. Rather, he’s merely a (relatively) young guy with decent ideas worth examining—particularly as they relate to other young people trying, in vain, to figure out their lives. This is a modern book; Manson is both self-aware and sarcastic, two traits closely associated with millennials. Nevertheless, it references a number of different schools of philosophy, resulting in a timeless work that appeals to curious people of all ages.

    Overview

    Mark Manson wants you to know it’s okay to feel bad. Instead of denying your disappointments and forcing yourself to put on a happy face, go ahead and acknowledge that your situation sucks. Done? Good. Now it’s time to move on.

    Painful truth is at the heart of Manson’s millennial manifesto, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, which could alternatively be titled How to Make Peace with Yourself or The Subtle Art of Acceptance. Manson argues that living successfully comes from knowing when to give a fuck. If we’re constantly outraged, upset, or disappointed, this means we’re giving up way too much of our precious supply of fucks. Most of us can’t change our disappointments, but we can decide how we weather them.

    Manson has no time for conventional
