The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t: Cut the Crap and Live Your Life by Fabrice Midal

2.0

A quick read about meditation and Buddhist beliefs that tries to present itself as new ideas, but in all honesty is the same as so many of its contemporaries. Midal packages each idea nicely with an "I'm about to tell you something new and life-changing" and instead, simply, re-words and repackages old ideas. I won't say I didn't get anything from the book, but it did not live up to the expectations I had going into the reading. Overall, Midal is right-freedom is attained when you just stop pressuring yourself to live up to societies expectations, your own expectations and just live life. This book just claimed this was something most people don't already know.
