Thoughts: βThe Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ckβ has been on my TBR list for the longest time, and I saw it available on Everand, so I decided to give it a listen. Mark was brutally honest in this book, and I truly believe everyone should read it at some stage due to its many good messages (especially chapters 1 & 2). I enjoyed the first half of the book, but towards the end, it became a bit tiring and repetitive while listening.β
Synopsis: For decades, weβve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. Drawing on academic research and the life experience that comes form breaking the rules, Mark Manson is ready to explode that myth. The key to a good life, according to Manson, is the understanding that βsometimes life is messed up and we have to live with itβ. Manson says that instead of trying to turn lemons into lemonade, we should learn to stomach lemons better, and stop distracting ourselves from lifeβs inevitable disappointments chasing money, success and possessions. Itβs time to re-calibrate our values and what it means to be happy: there are only so many things we can worry about, so we need to figure out which ones really matter.
