Summary
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope。
We live in an interesting time。 Materially， everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer， healthier and wealthier than any people in human history。 Yet， somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming， governments are failing， economies are collapsing， and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter。 At this moment in history， when we have access to technology， education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of， so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness。
What’s going on？ If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it， it’s Mark Manson。 In 2016， Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck， a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present， low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living。 He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things， that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all， that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier。 Instead， the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain。 The result was a book that became an international phenomenon， selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries。
Now， in Everthing Is F*cked， Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us。 Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics， as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato， Nietzsche， and Tom Waits， he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another。 He looks at our relationships with money， entertainment and the internet， and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive。 He openly defies our definitions of faith， happiness， freedom—and even of hope itself。
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor， Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before。 It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul。 One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come。

A very interesting read。 I stalled out on it for a bit but once I got going I couldn't put it down。 A very interesting read。 I stalled out on it for a bit but once I got going I couldn't put it down。 。。。more

This is no ordinary self-help book。 This feels down to Earth—not only because of its contemporary context and use of swear words—but also because it's straight to the point on what Mark is trying to say。 This book touches on aspects of psychology， sociology， and even history making it a fun read for any reader who isn't too touchy with the swear words and sometimes explicit descriptions。 Regardless， it touches on an important lesson of not just hoping for change， but BE the change the world need This is no ordinary self-help book。 This feels down to Earth—not only because of its contemporary context and use of swear words—but also because it's straight to the point on what Mark is trying to say。 This book touches on aspects of psychology， sociology， and even history making it a fun read for any reader who isn't too touchy with the swear words and sometimes explicit descriptions。 Regardless， it touches on an important lesson of not just hoping for change， but BE the change the world needs with so much climate change， political unrest， seemingly numbing violence， etc。 I love how much research was dedicated to this， and how it was communicated in a manner that is comprehensible to the every person。 Everything may be f*cked， but it's never too late to strive towards hope。 。。。more

When I read The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck I was in a deep depression， and everything Manson wrote made sense at the time。 Reviewing my notes， I realized how much I let myself be carried away by a radical and obtuse perspective of reality: I ignored that each person experiences vicissitudes differently。 When I began reading Part I， Chapter 1， I was thankful to do therapy and have my pills。As I assumed， I re-encountered the ironic author's writing about how f*cked we are。 By the way， the swe When I read The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck I was in a deep depression， and everything Manson wrote made sense at the time。 Reviewing my notes， I realized how much I let myself be carried away by a radical and obtuse perspective of reality: I ignored that each person experiences vicissitudes differently。 When I began reading Part I， Chapter 1， I was thankful to do therapy and have my pills。As I assumed， I re-encountered the ironic author's writing about how f*cked we are。 By the way， the swear word is used repeatedly by the author throughout the book。 He chose short chapters， which give fluidity to the texts， but they don't work well in a non-fiction book about complex subjects。 There is a dangerously thin line between seriousness and mockery。In Part I， Chapter 5， It was getting harder and harder to keep reading the book。 I think that in his eagerness to make everything ironic， the author errs in analyzing essential issues， such as mental health and religiosity， with shallow and biased analyses。 I thought I would find something different， but it's only the author's usual vulgarity。When I read Part II， Chapter 8， I felt like a teacher correcting my students' writing。 All my respect to the teachers， I just took them as an example because the author insists on the same formula: radical opinions with little or no theoretical basis to contradict what he claims to be correct。 If I were a teacher， I would cross out the book in red。I weirdly liked the less arbitrary style of the final， going against all the criticisms I made throughout the reading。 There were only five swear words in Part II， Chapter 9， very few compared to each chapter's number of swear words。 The book closes with an apocalyptic vision that there was never any hope for humanity and that very soon， we will all be subjugated by the AI Gods。 Manson should write sci-fi books。 。。。more

For a person that sometimes rely on high expectation towards other， this book literally drag me down back on earth。Kind of book you want to read in your spare time during work days。 Very light yet intriguing。

Mark Manson's first book struck a chord with me for a few reasons that I won't get into。 In short， it helped me realize something important that has really changed my life， for the better， since。 This book kind of had the complete opposite effect。 Very （intentionally） hopeless and depressing， it was also just really really dry。 The first 2/3 of it were like reading dull textbooks with the odd F-Bomb thrown in to show it wasn't copied and pasted from somewhere， or to try to make it funny （but fai Mark Manson's first book struck a chord with me for a few reasons that I won't get into。 In short， it helped me realize something important that has really changed my life， for the better， since。 This book kind of had the complete opposite effect。 Very （intentionally） hopeless and depressing， it was also just really really dry。 The first 2/3 of it were like reading dull textbooks with the odd F-Bomb thrown in to show it wasn't copied and pasted from somewhere， or to try to make it funny （but failing）。 The whole book preaches a single message "Forget hope。。。 Just DO"， but then he kind of goes against all of this in the last few pages。 So it was just a depressing read and for not much of a final point or conclusion。 Bottom line， his first book made me laugh while teaching me something about myself。 This one was disappointing on both of those points。 。。。more

I'm not sure why GR hates this guy so much。 I was expecting some edgy culture war thing from the reviews， and instead I got some nice little lessons。 It's like the 'cool' intro to philosophy teacher writing some related essays。 Obviously the 'cray cray'， 'shit got wild'， etc language feels out of place -- but it's infrequent enough to not be a major issue。 Plus， the goal of that was probably to keep your attention。 I'm not sure why GR hates this guy so much。 I was expecting some edgy culture war thing from the reviews， and instead I got some nice little lessons。 It's like the 'cool' intro to philosophy teacher writing some related essays。 Obviously the 'cray cray'， 'shit got wild'， etc language feels out of place -- but it's infrequent enough to not be a major issue。 Plus， the goal of that was probably to keep your attention。 。。。more

Manson does it again， this time getting more into particular philosophies that advise living in a loosely-held present rather than being distorted or ripped apart between an unchangeable past and an unknowable future。 His perspective aligns closely with my own--our time， knowledge， and other proxies for control are highly constrained but constraint is what allows creativity and creativity is the womb of meaning。 We are meaning-creating entities。 That， more than anything else， defines what it is Manson does it again， this time getting more into particular philosophies that advise living in a loosely-held present rather than being distorted or ripped apart between an unchangeable past and an unknowable future。 His perspective aligns closely with my own--our time， knowledge， and other proxies for control are highly constrained but constraint is what allows creativity and creativity is the womb of meaning。 We are meaning-creating entities。 That， more than anything else， defines what it is to spend your existence well。 Not feeling good。 Not having fun。 Not （sorry， EB/EP buds） even spreading your gene line （though that has its undeniable merits）。 Nope。 Creating and co-creating meaning， savoring it， sharing it， holding it gently， letting it grow and become what it will， and--inevitably--letting it go。 My reservation is that Manson's recipe for a less f*cked existence applies， in my view， only to relatively neurotypical people。 Sufferers of severe PTSD， for example， do not have the capacity to modulate their responses to their triggers or to the ensuing terrors。 Their nervous systems have been physically changed by their experiences。 Other than that caveat， Manson's claim that we can change our interpretations and thereby change our experiences rings solidly true in my experience。If the title or Anglo Saxon vernacular put you off， please consider that no matter how many synonyms for copulate or feces your in-group or culture may accept， they are mean exactly the same as the low-brow terms Manson uses to great comedic and medicinal effect。 I'll be revisiting this book to mine the cited。 。。。more

The pain brings hope， saddest brings hope， every bad thing brings hope at some point in our life。 We are more anxious and depressed than we have ever been， feelings of loneliness and isolation are ar a record high and social trust is at the lowest and keeps going down。Pain is part of the human existence， it is useless trying to get rid of it， the human natures lead us to seek the negative in any case。

A good （but not great） overview about the state of human consciousness。 The message is clear - the world has been， is， and always will be， fucked; the universal constant is pain; we either substitute or delay pain; we have a global industry/political system that leverage from it。 There are some intertwined stats and ideologies of capitalism， socialism/communism， etc。， but the facts themselves are too loosely connected to be worth too much - that SAID， the cynical tone in which it is all conveyed A good （but not great） overview about the state of human consciousness。 The message is clear - the world has been， is， and always will be， fucked; the universal constant is pain; we either substitute or delay pain; we have a global industry/political system that leverage from it。 There are some intertwined stats and ideologies of capitalism， socialism/communism， etc。， but the facts themselves are too loosely connected to be worth too much - that SAID， the cynical tone in which it is all conveyed makes it a fun read。 Nothing more and nothing less you'd expect from a Mark Manson 。。。more

It started out strong for me， especially the second chapter， but then it went too philosophical。 That may be someone's jam， but not mine。 Nothing makes me want to roll my eyes more than when I hear about Kant， no matter how good his philosophy is。 It started out strong for me， especially the second chapter， but then it went too philosophical。 That may be someone's jam， but not mine。 Nothing makes me want to roll my eyes more than when I hear about Kant， no matter how good his philosophy is。 。。。more

I received this book as a gift at one of my lowest moments in my life。。。I had no idea what to expect from from this book or what to make of it。。。I was definitely not about to start a religion or a cult！ However， with every page that I turned my mind opened to different possibilities and I lost hope！ And， that was the moment I found my inner power to get off my a** and move forward！ I absolutely， wholeheartedly， recommend this book。 It is smart， witty and quite funny！

This was entertaining and funny at times， but I’m not sure what I was supposed to get out of it。 Maybe it’s because I listened to the audiobook， but there wasn’t much that I took away from it。 I appreciate that the author talked shit about both the left and the right。 There were also some interesting anecdotes。 I would pass on this one。

Its wonderful book about how our brain works。 How our thinking brain and feeling brain drives our consciousness car（our conscious decisions）。 And， How we get grown up mature。 The more we practise self indulgences， more we become childish and remain in our comfort zone and dont grow up。 Lots of lessons in this。 Just read it。
