The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Book • 2016
In this book, Mark Manson argues against the typical self-help advice of constant positivity, instead suggesting that life's struggles give it meaning.

He emphasizes the need to focus on what truly matters and to accept and confront painful truths.

The book is divided into nine chapters and uses blunt honesty and profanity to illustrate its ideas, encouraging readers to find meaning through values they can control and to replace uncontrollable values with more meaningful ones.
