“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. For decades, we've been told that positive thinking isthe 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, Mason 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 just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by 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. 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 advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop runningand avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertainingstories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives”-

Mark Manson writes as fluid as the the best TED talker’s can speak. He explains why we experience problems the way we do in a very easy and accessible way. in the first part of the book he tries to grab your attentions with funny stories after which he really gets into the purpose of this book, which you can find out for yourself ;).
He tells and explains very thoroughly but also in a very structured way to make sure you don’t lose him along the way. This book isn’t going to make your problems magically disappear, instead it might hep you tackle them.
while reading you will most probably encounter some confronting thought about the way you approach or handle certain problems, creating numerous; ‘wait, but I do that as well, and that’s actually pretty dumb’ moments.
If you have ANY interest in improving mentally or as a person (since he really goes into the values we CHOOSE for ourselves and how they affect us and the people around us) in any way whatsoever this is definitely a good start, means or end to achieving that goal.
You might think; ‘well it just sounds like taking a lecture on self-awareness and stuff’, well that’s sort of true but than in the best and most fun way possible.
I am planning to read the book during different stages of my life (lets say every 5 years or so) since think it contains pieces of advice that can be interpreted and applied in different ways depending on the situation you find yourself in.

What great reminders there are in this book. Ultimately, in the end, all the things we think that matter don’t really matter. The material things only set us back. What matters most are the things that are intangible: integrity, honesty, and love. I really appreciate how Mark was so honest with his writing, and I appreciate how authentic his writing is. There’s no sugarcoating to anything he says. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for helpful advice and a good laugh!

Here’s everything about my experience from the first to the last page….and yes there are some cons
What should be your purpose to read this book?
If you think this a self help book that will help you learn how to not give a F*ck about things, be ready for some twists. This book is more about how to know what to give a F*ck about. The autor has done a great job of pointing out your obvious but unrecognised mistakes you make everyday.
Now although the book is great and well spoken of, we all know that no book ever is perfect…
1) Sounds silly but the initial chapters of the book will make this book feel like a joke. Not because of the content delivered, but the amount of times the writer uses the word F*ck to make it “so called” funny and engaging. I literary googled how many times he used the word.
2) The books delivers the content it’s titled up to 6-7 chapters after which it feels like he unnecessarily talked about relationship stuff and his life as he lived possibly to make it a 200 page book. Being a cover to cover reader, I just felt like one shouldn’t waste time reading the last two chapters.
Here’s my final score :
Condition of book : 10/10 (Matte finish)
Readability : 9/10 (Won’t feel bored)
Valuable content : 7/10 (Personal opinion)
Practicality : 8/10
Use of the word F*ck : 100/10
Would recommend reading : Yes
Happy reading 🙂

I have learnt a lot fromt this book, it is an amazing read and a great book for people practicing self-improvement. Overall I would say it is most suited for people who lack confidence or do not have a goal in life. This book helps.

Manson’s witty, no-nonsense approach challenges conventional self-help advice and encourages readers to embrace their limitations and focus on what truly matters. His storytelling is engaging, and his insights are both profound and practical. This book isn’t about being indifferent but about choosing your battles wisely. A must-read for anyone seeking clarity, perspective, and a healthier mindset. Highly recommended!

I was really triggered by reading the first chapter and thought it would be a non-self-help-book. Unfortunately after that there came the tips and advises on how to live your life. Different angle than a lot of other self help books but aiming for the same thing; becoming a better version of yourself. Yuck. I was really expecting something refreshing.

I like the book. Yet I don’t feel the need to use it as the truth. But I did pick a few things that I can apply to my own life for the better.
