Within this generation-defining self-help guidebook, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap showing us how exactly to stop trying to become ‘positive’ on a regular basis so that we are able to truly become better, happier people.

For decades, we have been told that positive thinking is the important to a content, wealthy life. ‘F**k positivity,’ Tag Manson says. ‘Let’s be honest, shit is definitely f**ked and we have to live with it.’ In his wildly well-known Internet blog, Manson doesn’t about The Subtle Art of Not Providing a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living an excellent Existence sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is-a dosage of raw, refreshing, honest truth that’s sorely lacking today. The Simple Art of Not really Giving a F**k is usually his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a era, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the debate, backed both by academics analysis and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to convert lemons into lemonade, but on learning to belly lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited-‘not everybody could be extraordinary, a couple of winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.’ Manson advises us to get to know our restrictions and accept them. After we accept our doubts, faults, and uncertainties, after we prevent running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to get the courage, perseverance, credibility, responsibility, attention, and forgiveness we seek.

There are just so a lot of things we can provide a f**k approximately so we have to find out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money can be nice, caring about what you do together with your existence is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye minute of real-talk, filled up with entertaining tales and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Artwork of Not Offering a F**k can be a relaxing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
