Ágætis sjálfshjálparbók sem byggir fyrst og fremst á því að hamingjan fáist með því að njóta þess að sigrast á áskorunum. Þar af leiðandi sé þess meira virði að takast á við vandamál og ögra gildandi lífsviðhorfum. Hamingjan sé ekki í því fólgin að verða ríkur eða hamingjusamlega giftur. Manson er líka lipur penni og skrifar myndrænan og grípandi texta. Fun listen, though underwhelming given the level of common sense ideas. Love your life! Once you’ve read the title, you’re pretty much finished. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is--a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited--"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

If the f-word offends then this is not the book for you, as Manson is pretty potty-mouthed and likes to throw it around liberally. He's a funny yet smart guy, and I enjoyed this read for the anecdotes as much as anything. I know the point of these kinds of books is self-improvement, but I couldn't help snickering at the description of a self-involved narcissist which was my ex-boss to a T, and the phrase 'the small dog barks the loudest', which is my husband's current boss in a nut shell.
Bosses past and present aside, there are a few nuggets of wisdom that are worth holding onto from this book, such as whilst we're not to blame for certain things that happen to us, we are 100% responsible for how we choose to respond to them, even the hard and painful things.
Like pretty much every other self-help book I've read, there were no life-changing moments for me from reading this book, but there are some good recalibrating / reaffirming messages. We're not special (and if we think we are we're seriously devoid of room for growth) and it's positive to screw up regularly.
4 stars - a fun read with some important points put across in a very non-serious way. (
