I dont give a fuck book

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. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.

A sneaky truth about life. The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. The more you pursue feeling better all the time, the less satisfied you become, as pursuing something only reinforces the fact that you lack it in the first place. Everything worthwhile in life is won through surmounting the associated negative experience. Pain and loss are inevitable and we should let go of trying to resist them. The greatest truths in life are usually the most unpleasant to hear. We suffer for the simple reason that suffering is biologically useful.

As of May , over 8 million copies of the book had been sold. The book is a reaction to the self-help industry and what Manson saw as a culture of mindless positivity that is not practical or helpful for most people. And then you die. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is a book about finding meaning in important things in life and only having those values that an individual can control.
