The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

shemdani shared a tip "Unlike many other books in this genre, this book gets more interesting halfway through. You must see pass the frequent use of the unnecessary F word to appreciate amazing life altering information packed in these pages. 🏅"

jody_baer-swanson shared a tip "The title makes it seem like it is about caring less, but it is actually about setting your priorities and caring less about the things that are unimportant n your life and you are giving too much power and wasting time on."

amy_huntsman shared a tip "The name says it all. An insightful view of giving up on the small things. Or the big things depending on where your fucks are. A witty, entertaining book on learning how to take care of you."

kimberly_belben shared a tip "The first chapter had a bit too much ego.. after that it's a solid read. Nothing new per say, but a refreshing approach to old thought. Well worth it!!"

kimberly_belben shared a tip "The first chapter had a bit too much ego... after that the book was good. Not new concepts but the author sheds new light on old ideas. Overall, pretty good."

grace_zhou shared a tip "Is happiness a goal or a process? How do we become happier? This book reiterates tenets of Buddhism and existentialism into real life examples. Some parts are repetitive, but necessary to drive home the point. A solid read."

rina_dubosarski shared a tip "I am not a fan of self help books as a general rule but honestly, I loved this book so much. I laughed so hard and I could relate to it in so many ways. Definitely worth a read!"

taylor_williams_1885 shared a tip "It is. It's been a while since I listened to it, but I think the thing that struck me most was to "not try" when it comes to searching for happiness, etc. Because all emotions are fleeting. Both of his books are very eye opening."

sarah_manning_4212 shared a tip "I loved that the idea of being 100% positive 100% of the time was viewed as just not practical. Piggy backing off this book, watch this great TED talk about how it’s just flat out unhealthy.

audrey_tourigny shared a tip "The book is good, helps you to reconsider certain things about life and the way you see it. Some more as a reminder maybe that you are responsible for everything."

audrey_daoust shared a tip "Sorry for the late reply! It's been a while since the last time I have read this book 😄 But I remember how it made me less anxious about little things and I liked how the author wrote is book with humor. I will read it again!"

carmen_prez shared a tip "I think my favorite takeaway is that after reading this book, I realized there’s absolutely no importance in superficial things. I can kind of see people who care too much in a different way. Almost as if they are trapped and very unhappy."

katie_mcmillan shared a tip "This book challenges all the assumptions that you didn’t even know you had and gets you to learn to be comfortable with being wrong. Fresh way of thinking!"

zakiya_ama shared a tip "I liked it a lot. He talks a lot about accepting yourself. Not just the good parts but to embrace are fears faults. There is limitations to what each individual can do that doesn't mean that your not great just that you have other strength that can help you. It's a book with a lot of potty mouth words. I think it's worth the read. I haven't read his other one yet though"

mezzy_davis shared a tip "So I really enjoyed his book Everything is F*ucked. I enjoyed Think and Grow Rich because it helped shift my mindset which to me went hand and hand with this book."

duncan_ashley shared a tip "I recently listened to “You’re a Badass” by Jen Sincero and loved it! I also just finished “City of Girls” by Elizabeth Gilbert and found it really lovely."

shelby_vossekuil shared a tip "It is a good book, but when I chose it to read I was not aware that is was a self help book 🤣, thought it was more a collection of funny stories about not giving a f**k. Still a good read and an interesting perspective on how to learn not to give a f**k"

violetrieper shared a tip "Actually I meant to save it rather than like it, I was attempting to learn the layout of the app and pressed the wrong button. Although, I will say that you commenting on it alone encourages me to read it even more."

jenna_marion shared a tip "I actually really enjoyed this and didn’t think I would. I never want to act like I’m someone who doesn’t give a f*ck, because I do, so I was turned off by the name, however Manson explains not giving a f*ck in an entirely different dimension that I could appreciate."

jerry_miah shared a tip "This book ages so well as your dig deeper into the books premise. One of the biggest impacts the book had on my mindset was The concept of a value and a metric when identifying situational difficulties."

josh_forsythe shared a tip "Such a great read, especially in audiobook form. I feel like this book can offer at least one useful thing to everyone who reads it, if not many more"

laurence_girard_2205 shared a tip "I definitively think twice about giving a f*uck about something now. It really helps to keep your feet on the ground. It even helped with my anxiety!"

jay_barbe shared a tip "Honestly I know this bol is probably meant for new adults but this book helped me so much my freshman year of high school, I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with mental health who needs a book that won't sugar coat anything. It's blunt in the way I needed most"

lele_warrick shared a tip "i haven’t found one that’s my favorite yet but right now i’m reading “**** it i’ll start tomorrow.” any suggestions??? @chelseawrightreads"

vasili_ortali shared a tip "Haven't read it yet but I've read his second book life is ****** a book about hope I think is the title and it was really good so yes I recommend"

sabrina_ruiz_4816 shared a tip "This book has a humorous narrator who also keeps it real with eye-opening advice on how you should adapt a mindset of not necessarily not giving a **** about anything, but giving a **** about the RIGHT things. Great for anybody who feels overwhelmed with what they want to get out of life."

lisa_b52 shared a tip "The author has a weekly email that comes out on mondays. It’s a great way to get thinking at the start of the week. You can sign up at his website, markmanson.com"

john_ross_5322 shared a tip "This book is fantastic, the author did his research and brings up a lot of good points to really get you thinking about life from a different point of view. I feel like the author organized the structure well and kept it interesting throughout."
