Everything Is F*cked

A Book About Hope

De: Mark Manson

Narrado por: Mark Manson

Everything is F*cked has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.

5 star Philosophical soft-porn for the masses.

Read and masterfully delivered by the author, Manson constructs an easily digestible accessible philosophical jaunt through clever interpretations of Nietzsche and Kant as well as the Stoics.

Manson's path begins with his scribbling - in tiny print - The Uncomfortable Truth (essentially, that no matter how much we distract ourselves, the human condition is meaningless) on coffee cups for unsuspecting chain store customers, leads through a step-by-step "As Seen On TV" tutorial to create your very own religion, inevitably brings the reader to a conclusion that it's not because everything is f#cked that we need hope rather it's hope that needs everything to be f#cked, then explains how Edward Bernays channeled this truth with his Uncle Sigmund's conclusions to manipulate and convince the masses of their #fakefreedom while creating what is now the modern advertising economy.

Manson finally suggests that, “Instead of looking for hope, try this. Don’t hope. Don’t despair, either. In fact, don’t deign to believe you know anything...Don’t hope for better, just be better. Be something better. Be more compassionate, more resilient, more humble, more disciplined...— be a better human.”

My Audible experience was as enjoyable as Manson's previous entry into the pantheon of anti self-help self-help books and i found myself LLOL'ing (legitimately LOL'ing) enough to consider this work, much like life, a dramedy.

First half was boring and depressing.

The first half of the book was horrible. The second half had genius level ideas. Get past the dribble of the first section and the book is worth the read.

Madison Proving his Brilliance

I’m not sure why Ppl are knocking this book like it’s not as Great as “The Subtle Art...” I DEFINITELY agree that his delivery isn’t up to par, and SHOULD leave that to the Pros.. but the intellect & ability to tie in his point along with facts to drive the Premise of this books purpose is at an All time Level!!

The book does start off a lil slow, but it picks up right after the first story in the 1st chapter. This book was so good, I’m about to buy it to read it & highlight points that pertain to our evolution & understanding of importance.

A lot of good stuff

A lot of well thought out perspectives but, it veers into subjective opinion territory many times throughout. If you're mature enough to listen through while taking things lightly (realizing he may be thinking through these out loud and not stating them as fact) than it has a lot of good insights and well said concepts within.

I can see why people don't like it

overall I believe it's a good book. he statements are researched and uses facts. not as good as his other books. but still a good book.
