The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

It targets you personally like a friend and criticising you and it's very real. Worth reading it.

Quite liked how he bluntly addressed the entitled wants of today. This book is an eye opener for millenials and gen Z. It's the subtle art of focus, depth and acceptance - all that our generation lacks due to the overstimulation in our world.

The Authors view towards life is extra ordinary. people struggle whole of their lives chasing their materialistic highs and end up losing their the actual treasure/ happiness.Thumps up to the Author for straight forward bold language and presentation.

No suggestions for to do this or that, just some honest life facts that we need to reflect from this book. This book is so much more than what the title says. I love Mr. Manson for his awkward sincerity and his dark humour. I felt no part boring to read. It was one hell of a ride

Worth buying. ❤️🌸

Must read!

All those who want clarity in their life can surely get this one !!! You will not regret buying this book

What's that? A book changed my life? Nonsense!! Well, actually that's true, it DID change my life. Here's a very long review which I feel needs to be addressed, as many people don't know what the book is about, give it a 1-star rating and shrug it off as a money-grab scheme using foul language as a means to bait audiences. Which I honestly first thought it was.-----------------------------------I have to admit, I wasn't convinced (ignorant, you could say) of all these self-help books people lavish over, I honestly thought it was a load of hippy crap as a means to make a quick buck... Although after a bout of depression last year (yea the "D" word get's thrown around alot these days), I myself was seeking out therapy. I was recommended this author and discovered this book. After asking myself "If this doesn't work, I'll just try something else" I figured I had nothing to lose.And WOW. This book really changed my perspective on things and ultimately I feel much better and improved! Not 100%, but I'm getting there slowly.As you could tell from the title, the author isn't shy of using profanity, and I like this. I've read other self-help books and while they're good and all, Mark Manson really engages you on a personal level. Imagine going to the doctor, and he's been all professional... but a tad boring and nearly sends you to sleep. Now imagine the same doctor taking you to the bar, having a pint and a laugh, but telling you the same advice. Who would you connect with better? Yea, I thought so.Controversial title aside, the book isn't about just not giving a damn, but about focusing WHAT to not give a damn about. Stop getting stressed about by what the media (and others) want us to be, not getting worked up by social media, stuff like that. Instead, focus the damns on the important stuff: family, friends, your well being.The book does take a while to pick up, with the early chapters focusing on examples of people who you may or may not relate to, or even care about. It can start to drag on, but eventually, Mr. Manson really dives into the meat of the book, and asks yourself to challenge your beliefs. Knowing that you're not always right all the time. Not denying your own flaws by redirecting the blame onto other people when challenged (many people are guilty of this). Acknowledging you're not perfect and rolling with it. Realising your emotions and problems aren't exclusive: nearly everyone in the world will have experienced what you felt at some point in their lives.Real stuff that actually helps you come to terms with yourself and not inflating your ego, or doing some tantric yoga exercises to unlock your inner chi circles. Real stuff.I consider this book my bible: I read certain parts every now and then to maintain my self improvement, it gives me solace during times where I'm feeling down, and I harrass my Instagram followers by posting snippets of the pages. I've even brought several copies for friends who were going through a rough time.-----------------------------------TLDR: this book helped me out, connects with you on an unconventional level, and ultimately offers brilliant advice that helps improve yourself and hopefully others around you. Highly recommended!PS. It's a MASSIVE shame that certain individuals refuse to fully read the book due to liberal use of the F word. I'd say that's the whole point: letting go of your "I'm entitled so I'm offended" beliefs and challenging yourself to overcome this personal stigma to improve your outlook on life.

Annoyed that I spent gift voucher money on this... very anecdotal & subjective, no references just purely blog dross. No scientific backing, just millennial hipster junk really! Really disappointed :(

Five stars for content, one for style. There's a fad at the moment that says any book in the self help genre has to have a catchy phrase and that it must be repeated ad nauseum (presumably to prove the value of the phrase). This book falls into that particular trap and in the end it just feels like you're being tortured by repetition. Trust me, there's nothing subtle about it! It's a shame, there are important things to read here but the overuse of particular words and phrases is both tedious and mind numbing. A broader vocabulary and a less aggressive style would improve matters immeasurably.

I understand that the one should write a review after reading a full book, but i simply couldn’t read it anymore. I am 27. I like slang, i like free style and books which are easy to read. I have read 17 pages. I couldn’t do it anymore. My eyes couldn’t bare to see any other F word. The writing style is good. I like it. But, the usage of F word is sooo exaggerated you have no idea. Its impossible. Its too much. I honestly dont know why would someone agree to print this book. The first 2-3 pages are OK. Nice to read. But yhen there is F word in almost every sentence.I have read only 17 pages. And i dont know if the book will get better. But i had enough of this. And i am not willing to read it anymore.

One of the worst books I’ve ever read. I didn’t like the author’s aggressive and sarcastic tone, and it felt like he was just repeating himself over and over again. Gave up after the first 3 chapters as found it impossible to concentrate on
