Book Review
“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” is not your usual self-help book.Instead of telling you to always stay positive, chase big dreams, and aim for perfection, Mark Manson speaks in a bold, honest, and often funny way. He tells you to accept your limits, face life’s challenges, and stop wasting your energy on things that don’t really matter.
The main idea is simple: you only have so many f*cks to give, so choose carefully what’s worth your attention.Manson explains that running away from problems won’t make you happy — solving the right problems will.He emphasizes that taking responsibility is more important than blaming others, and that failure is a key part of personal growth.
Honestly, the book feels refreshing and funny, like advice from a brutally honest friend.Manson mixes philosophy (especially Stoicism and existentialism), psychology, and his own life experiences to show that constantly chasing happiness can actually cause more harm. True maturity comes from knowing what really matters and letting go of the rest.
