Book Review: The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck by Mark Manson
Hi guys!
Today, I thought I'd review a book that I'm currently reading by Mark Manson.
Calling it his counter-intuitive approach to living a good life, Mark's approach is right on point.
He has very funny, excitable and no bullshit style of writing that can keep the reader engaged.
Now I'm not the one to give a very detailed review of this book because I believe my opinions shouldn't matter and it is you as a reader who must judge it solely for your self.
I thought my job was to put it out here so that my fellow steemians can enjoy the vitality of this book( like any other good book) as it has changed the course of my thoughts too!
I'm going to try and update this post with excerpts that sit well with me, so that you get an idea of what this book is about!
"Better values, as we saw, are process-oriented. Something like “Express myself honestly to others,” a metric for the value “honesty,” is never completely finished; it’s a problem that must continuously be reengaged. Every new conversation, every new relationship, brings new challenges and opportunities for honest expression. The value is an ongoing, lifelong process that defies completion.
If your metric for the value “success by worldly standards” is “Buy a house and a nice car,” and you spend twenty years working your ass off to achieve it, once it’s achieved the metric has nothing left to give you. Then say hello to your midlife crisis, because the problem that drove you your entire adult life was just taken away from you. There are no other opportunities to keep growing and improving, and yet it’s growth that generates happiness, not a long list of arbitrary achievements."
Also, feel free to suggest me any other books and keep the conversation going!
