A famous blogger cuts through the BS in this generation-defining self-help book to teach us how to quit striving to be "positive" all the time so that we may actually improve and be happier.
We've been told for years that adopting a positive outlook can help you lead a fulfilling life. Mark Manson says, "F**k positivity." Let's face it, sh*t is f**ked, and we must accept that. Manson doesn't mince words or use ambiguity in his enormously well-read Internet blog. He says it like it is, giving today's world a much-needed dose of unvarnished, energizing honesty. His response to the coddling, make-everyone-feel-good mentality that has invaded modern society and corrupted a generation by giving them gold medals for simply showing up is The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k.

Manson makes the case that improving our lives depends less on our capacity to convert lemons into lemonade and more on developing a better stomach for lemons, a claim supported by both academic data and well-timed poop humor. Because of their flaws and limitations, humans cannot be perfect; there are victors and losers in society, and sometimes it's your responsibility. Manson counsels us to recognize and accept our limitations. We can start to develop the courage, persistence, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek once we embrace our fears, flaws, and doubts, once we stop fleeing from and avoiding hard facts, and instead start facing them head-on.

Manson makes it plain that there are only so many things we can care about, so we need to decide which ones actually important. Money is good, but it's preferable to care about what you do with your life because real wealth comes from experience. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a much-needed moment of real talk that will grab you by the shoulders and look you in the eye. It is full of amusing stories and crude humor that will help the generation lead happy, grounded lives.
