(3 reviews)

In this book, blogger and former internet entrepreneur Mark Manson explains in simple, no expletives barred terms how to achieve happiness by caring more about fewer things and not caring at all about more. He explains how the metrics we use to define ourselves may be the very things holding us back. By redefining our metrics, questioning ourselves and doubting everything, we may be able to find that we're better off than we think, and thereby become happier people.

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.

Miya reviewed The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

Wonderfully written, and a lot of great advice.

5 stars

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.
