In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
去加州的路上kindle坏了,只得在机场的书店里寻觅,遇见这本书。标题很抓人,前几章也写得很不错,后几章不至于说高开低走,但也的确只是一般。 鸡汤书的特点就是每一句话都是对的,每一句话如果放在不一样的情境中,也可以是错的。说到底是读者与作者的共鸣包裹成了人生哲理的...
评分 评分 评分上个星期,与失散多年的老同学吃了个饭。席间,我们交换着彼此的人生进展。 聊着聊着,我们从工作和事业,谈到了班上的同学。 酒过三巡,他有点微醺,摇摇晃晃拉着我说:“你还记得咱们班上的曹天天吗?” 曹天天是当时班上的小霸王。家境好脾气差,老是一副趾高气扬,在学...
评分很多时候面对问题我们都会逃避。逃避的根本来我们自于对’不幸‘的恐惧。然而何为‘不幸’?如果将媒体或者大众渲染的人生观,不经过思考,盲目加之于自己身上,那么这可能就是真的不幸。但是不会有人教会于我们,什么是对的,什么的是错,什么是好的,什么是坏的。我们需要的...
看不了self-help的书,emm emm no
评分20170712阅毕,鸡汤类书籍,3.5-4星之间,前几章语言很畅快流利,适合作为英文原版锻炼语感,尤其是平时不多见的脏话体。。。
评分鸡汤,凌乱分散,也有一两口好的:a. Happiness is a problem: life is full of sufferings and setbacks. It's ok to be unhappy and to fall from time to time; b. Take responsibility for everything in your life: with greater responsibilty, comes greater power; c. Freedom through commitment and only give a f*ck about the few things that really matters: less is more.
评分其实是挺哗众取宠的一本书,不看也罢
评分如果你是一个正常的明白事理的成年人,那么不用在这本书上浪费时间。没有任何开创性的idea,唯一独到之处可能就是作为一本self-help书,平均每两句话一个f-bomb……并不能改变这是一本没必要存在的书这个事实。
