The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck & How to be F*cking Awesome

by Mark Manson, Dan Meredith

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life: 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 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 just for showing up.

How To Be F*cking Awesome: If you've been looking for a kick up the backside to finally launch that business, start a new project you've been putting off or just become all round awesome, this book is for you. Why do some people have an awesome life, plenty of money, amazing friends and a business to love while others struggle at every step, are constantly broke and can never get out of the daily grind? What enables some people to work hard, play harder and make a difference every day, yet still have time to take care of their body, eat good food and be there for the people who matter? How do some people connect and persuade with ease, make good decisions and get sh*t done, while others make little impact, doubt themselves and get stuck in the rut of procrastination?

An excellent read and reminder about your values and how to prioritize them. We only have some so many F*@ks to give in this one precious life...use them wisely!

Do you like to read self help books? Tell me the names of few! I like them very often to read so that i can fill my mind with all the great knowledge.
They are indeed much cheaper than consulting professional advice. They also provide anonymity and they can work like magic in your life, but if you want them to.

Though i haven't finished it yet, but read few chapters so thought i should recommend it to all the book lovers (readers). Strongly recommend it to every non fiction lover.

I must admit, I would never have picked up this book, let alone read it, if my son, who has attempted to take his own life several times, hadn’t asked me to. The constant profanity is grating. I’m no saint myself—I swear more than I should—but seeing so much crude language in print is jarring and, frankly, tiresome.

The book is clearly written for a much younger audience. Perhaps they’ll find the odd useful insight among the noise. But for someone over sixty, it all feels a bit obvious. Life’s tough—we know that. With time, you get the hang of it—no need for all the theatrics.

It reads like a blog. It's quick and it has that "bloggy" kind of wit. It is entertaining and he doesn't pretend to be something he is not. However, he is not a person with a vast wealth of experience (i.e. old) and he does not have any apparent background in mental health. He shares his life and what he has gotten out of his experiences.

I thought of not reading it first since i just completed reading another self help book , which i thought will do . But since i was left with no other book than this i was forced to read it . The first few pages did not seem to interest me but i loved the rest .Every single page mage sense.The author surely has done an amazing job. One of my favourites .

I don't think I learned anything groundbreaking, but I had plenty of laugh out loud moments.

Would be better for 20 year olds but older people have already figured out these lessons.

[Rachandpete Carpenter · Rating 5 out of 5]

More of self help....Not so impressive

[Andrea · Rating 2 out of 5]

I always think I'm going to like these kinds of books but once I start it's so hard for me to finish them. But this one was quick and a little interesting.

[Mohammad Suhaib · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good book. It’s difficult to express in words but it will change the way how you see things. And surely will make you a better person.

[Shà · Rating 5 out of 5]

interesting and enjoyable

[Бојана Данева · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's an interesting read and I agree with some points the author is making. The content is not that explosive as the title, but I wasn't disappointed.

[Cathy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Entertaining. Some good parts. Easy read, would probably reference again.
