The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

For the past few years, Mark Manson—in his popular blog—has been working to correct our delusional expectations about ourselves and the world. Now, he offers all his intrepid wisdom in this groundbreaking book.

Manson reminds us that human beings are fallible and limited: "not everyone can be extraordinary—there are winners and losers in society, and this is not always fair or your fault." Manson advises us to recognize our limitations and accept them. This, according to him, is the true source of empowerment. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and evading and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

This manifesto is a refreshing slap in the face, so we can start leading more satisfied and grounded lives.
