Durante los últimos años, Mark Manson -en su popular blog- se ha afanado en corregir nuestras delirantes expectativas sobre nosotros mismos y el mundo. Ahora nos ofrece su toda su intrépida sabiduría en este libro pionero. Manson nos recuerda que los seres humanos somos falibles y limitados: ""no todos podemos ser extraordinarios: hay ganadores y perdedores en la sociedad, y esto no siempre es justo o es tu culpa"". Manson nos aconseja que reconozcamos nuestras limitaciones y las aceptemos. Esto es, según él, el verdadero origen del empoderamiento.

Este manifiesto es una refrescante bofetada, para que podamos empezar a llevar vidas más satisfechas y con los pies …

Some good tips but written from a lot of privilege
4 stars
I like some of the things he says about improving mental health by not judging by others and not always having to be the best and appreciating what you have. But I can't help feeling that "Not Giving a Fuck" is a very privileged position to be in. Those who are disadvantaged by circumstance or discrimination may not have the luxury of this position.

Wonderfully written, and a lot of great advice.

What a beautifully written book. You could open it at any page, randomly choose a sentence and it would make for a wonderful quote. Once you started reading, it's hard to stop.
The book is full of great (life-) advice with fitting examples from the author's own experiences.

I'm not usually a big fan of self help books, but the clever title has been fascinating me for a while now. I "read" this as an audio book. The philosophy it presents is pretty close to what I already have. As I don't give a fk about religion, I won't go into connections with buddhism or other religions, but the basic premise is that you need to limit what you give your limited number of fks about to be happier. The excessive swearing didn't bother me (Finns swear a lot anyway and are used to hearing a lot of swearing), because it was quite stylishly used. The fifth star from the review was dropped, because for me at least, the text sounded a bit repetitive at times repeating basically the same ideas in different words, but as it wasn't too long, it wasn't too annoying and the …
