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.

Your comfort zone provides the safety and security of being tucked into bed. But in that safety, you accomplish nothing, experience nothing, learn nothing, and end up with nothing. It's a trap, and you need to get out. Life is for living, not merely existing. Which are you doing? The Science of Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone is not a motivational "rah rah" book. It is not 10 different versions of "just do it" or "live, laugh, love." This book is a little different. It is a deep look, backed by science, into what keeps us from doing what we want, when we want. This book answers the question: how do you gain the confidence to consistently break out of your comfort zone to accomplish any goals you have? You'll learn what actually matters, and what to stop wasting your time on.

AMAZING BOOK
- By duane barker on 02-10-14
Publisher's Summary
From Amy Morin, author of '13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do', the article that went viral and garnered a million views in two weeks, comes the ultimate how-to guide to overcome the obstacles getting in the way of a fabulous, more fulfilling and happier life.
Morin knows that of which she speaks. At just 26, while working as a psychologist and therapist, Morin's husband died suddenly. Inwardly reeling, she realised what pitfalls she didn't want to succumb to: self-pity, a sense of entitlement and resentment. In the 10 years since then, she's refined these principles and worked on them with countless patients. The results are impressive.
In this book, we learn to identify the 13 common habits that hold us back in life, and how to avoid them. We go to the gym to build up our physical muscles, but we haven't yet thought about mental strength: the real key to a more productive and meaningful life. This revolutionary book shows you how.

A practical guide to building mental strength
This is a straightforward guide to building your mental strength. There's no waffle or vague affirmations in this book, just down to earth advice to help you find some direction if you sometimes struggle with mental health (who doesn't?). It could almost be called a fitness book for the mind, with lots of practical guidance, in an easy to follow structure.
As others have said the narration by the author let's the audio book down a bit. It's quite monotone, but otherwise well presented.

Best Personal Development Audio I've listened to.
This Audible book ranks in the My Top 5 of All personal development media.
I've listened to, read books, watched videos and gone to a load of personal development courses over the last 15 years or so.I've spent a lot of money and downloaded a load of stuff from Anthony Robbins John Demartini and experts in their respective fields like Joe Navarro, James Althucher, Neil Strauss and Tim Ferris.
Completely enlightening. While there are things I am doing right, her examples showed where I was lacking and what I really needed to focus on and improve in myself. If you go through some self-introspection you'll find this audible book incredibly useful. As cliched as it sounds for me it was as if several lightbulbs lit up above my head I was listening to this I has a couple of breakthroughs in things I wasn't even fully cognizant of. It's like I had a session with a psychotherapist who has shown me the roots of my problems and how to deal with them. I look forward to listening to this again.
Finally, the biggest recommendation I can make is this. I "found" this on the internet. I realised after I finished it, I had to buy this.
Buy this. You will not be disappointed.

Some interesting ideas, here. Monotonous voice, though. The narrator may be inspiring on a one to one basis, but is undynamic as a reader and this detracts from the text.

I could've enjoyed this audio book greatly if someone like Oprah Winfrey had read it. I found the performance rather depressing and so took a long time to finish it because I could only listen to it in short spurts....
