Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope by Mark Manson
1.0
Vast over-generalisations and ultimately surface level conclusions about living life. Honestly it feels like he only wrote this book because his last one was so successful.
Did anyone else find it irritating that he seemed to invent people to prove his points, even though nobody on the surface of the planet has ever behaved that way? Honestly, if someone's first reaction to a disaster is "this proves there is no God" then that says less about atheism and more about them being a shitty person. Don't even get me started on the fact that Mark Manson seems to think that religious faith is the same thing as the general concept of faith. He also likened the "recent" (in quotations because it not in fact recent) queer rights movement to a religion, which like many off-hand comments in this book, gave me the ick.
I never had any interest in reading his first book, and now I'm certainly not going to. The only reason I finished this one is because it fulfilled a reading challenge prompt.
