Suur One reviewed The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson (The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, #1)
None
4 stars
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 listening experience was quite entertaining.
