Mark Manson

“Subtlety #1: Not giving a fuck does not mean being indifferent; it means being comfortable with being different.” (Pg. no. 14)

“This is what is so admirable. The overcoming adversity stuff, the willingness to be different, an outcast, a pariah, all for the sake of one’s own values. The willingness to stare failure in the face and shove your middle finger back at it. The people who don’t give a fuck about adversity or failure or embarrassing themselves or shitting the bed a few times. The people who just laugh and then do what they believe in anyway. Because they know it’s right. They know it’s more important than they are, more important than their own feelings and their own pride and their own ego. They say, “Fuck it,” not to everything in life, but rather to everything unimportant in life. They reserve their fucks for what truly matters. Friends. Family. Purpose. Burritos. And an occasional lawsuit or two. And because of that, because they reserve their fucks for only the big things that matter, people give a fuck about them in return.” (Pg. no. 16)

“The point isn’t to get away from the shit. The point is to find the shit you enjoy dealing with.” (Pg. no. 17)”
