The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson
fast-paced
3.0
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is a self-help book with philosophical and psychological aspects, about finding yourself and what matters to you. Unfortunately, if I'm being honest (which I am), it just seemed like the author was bouncing between showing off his life and pitying himself the majority of the chapters.
The tone of the book was very arrogant and condescending in a holier-than-thou, "I know more than you" way. Also, many sections of the book are just low-level explanations or rephrasings of spiritual and self-help concepts that already exist and have for a while. The only good thing I can say about the book is that it is written well, and since it's so short it can be read in very few hours. Still, I don't recommend this book.
