Mark Manson expands a bit on some of the themes in Subtle Art, particularly when he speaks about values. This book pivots much harder into nihilism and rolls into a warning (?) about the future of AI. He speaks about hope a little bit, but if you're looking for a feel-good read, this isn't it. I enjoyed it as an audiobook, hearing the author read his own words.

I’m not sure the genre of expletive laden self-help (pseudo philosophy?) books is for me. This one ultimately seems designed for the subset of people who believe their gym habit is the most important work they could be doing. Good for them.
Despite the title, it’s kind of a book against the concept of hope. It’s fine and it was about a 60/40 split on when i found it insightful vs annoying.
I wonder if the storygraph has a trigger warning for a mention of Elon musk bc i really don’t want to ever read another word about that guy again in my life.

I listened to the audiobook. I had my doubts in the beginning, but it came together about a quarter way through, and I ended up learning a lot. specifically, I found the parallel-universe Newton device a confusing way to explain his ideas.
