The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck

“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F”, by Mark Manson, is a relatively new self-help book, and something common in new self-help books is that they keep in context what has already been said in some of the greatest books in history. So it is the case with this book. It says to not follow something that is working for someone else blindly but follow something that you want to. Knowing yourself first and then working and enjoying the process of success by not giving a F about things you’re not good at is what the book wants us to understand.

 One doesn’t have to change who they are to become successful but work on things that matter. The book also beautifully explains how problems will always be a part of our lives, but we choose the problems we want to face. One cannot run away but only solve those problems, so choosing the problems you’d love to solve is the spiral up to success. I also loved how the book makes its readers comfortable with the idea of death. Most of the time, when I think of death, I fear not having done enough. The book resonates around the idea of having no fear of failure or embarrassment when, ultimately, you have to die.
