#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold 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 American 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.

His work continues to explore a fascination with disintegration and outsiders.Book ExtractTwinkly LightsHere it comes again pain, pain, pain.Starts with the twinkly lights, flashing fruit in a land of delights. Oh so young how was he to know the way it had to go? Played the games so much, never enough to fill the empty hole. Never can replace that place. How was he to ever know? The only reward is loss and the cost is oh so high.Each spin takes you down; each spin the wheel goes round. Each spin it takes you down, each spin the wheel goes round.Alone now you spin the wheel to feel somehow real. He plays the loosing game, winning, loosing, addiction and abusing; it's all the same. Must be in this spin but even a win is never too much cash to fill the gap. Just more pain again, again and again playing the same old game.Out of cash and out of luck, all around no one gives a fuck. So he feeds the slots, empty pockets he spent the lot and it's never too much cash to fill that gap. Never enough space to replace that place as he plays the loosing game. Here it comes again pain, pain, pain as he plays that loosing game.Each spin takes you down; each spin the wheel goes round. Each spin it takes you down, each spin the wheel goes round. Takes you down, spinning around, takes you down, takes you down.
