Story4.5 out of 5 stars 146,853
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, 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*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Not very uplifting
There was way more sadness than I expected. Definitely not what I was going for.

Mostly clichés
The chapters read more like ‘inspirational’ social media posts than short stories, although some of them do have plots. That is, many of the texts aren’t even stories, and those that are stories, are very simple clichés. The voice performance is well done.

Buy IF YOU ARE CHRISTIAN...
I loved “some” of these stories but the “preachy” nature of the countless RELIGIOUS based stories are not what I expected from “stories around the world.”. A hard 1 star all around because of this. Going to return this book.
