This is not a a question exactly, but a pondering. Have I forgotten how to not give a f*ck? For much of my 20's and 30's I didn't give enough f*cks. Sometimes I think that if I had give more f*cks I'd have a lot more money by now. Lately I'm afraid I'm giving too many f*cks. I don't want to self-sabotage with all of my f*cks. What is the right balance of f*cks to give? And that's why I've added this book.

I, too, decided money was not important and guess what? Yep, was broke. Now I dare to care about money but more importantly I give a F$CK about how I make it more = no dilemma and not broke. I now own two start-ups that are radical in nature + go against what a lot of people thought would be successful. I did not give a f@ck about what they thought or about the money only about getting my product made and to market. It worked.(less)

He takes a different approach than she does. I loved both books. He gives a lot more narrative examples of what he is trying to convey and to be honest, they convey different concepts on not giving fs. I enjoyed both books immensely. (less)

Vulgar rendition of Zen Philosophy?

Glen Pretty much. Mixed with vulgar Stoic Philosophy and a few other vulgarized influences.
