Durante los últimos años, Mark Manson -en su popular blog- se ha afanado en corregir nuestras delirantes expectativas sobre nosotros mismos y el mundo. Ahora nos ofrece su toda su intrépida sabiduría en este libro pionero. Manson nos recuerda que los seres humanos somos falibles y limitados: ""no todos podemos ser extraordinarios: hay ganadores y perdedores en la sociedad, y esto no siempre es justo o es tu culpa"". Manson nos aconseja que reconozcamos nuestras limitaciones y las aceptemos. Esto es, según él, el verdadero origen del empoderamiento. Una vez que abrazamos nuestros temores, faltas e incertidumbres, una vez que dejamos de huir y evadir y empezamos a confrontar las verdades dolorosas, podemos comenzar a encontrar el valor, la perseverancia, la honestidad, la responsabilidad, la curiosidad y el perdón que buscamos. Este manifiesto es una refrescante bofetada, para que podamos empezar a llevar vidas más satisfechas y con los pies …

You only have so many to give.

4 stars

The latest in a series of "self-help" style books I've gotten from the library this year.

This one had by far the "loosest" prose. Probably because the author started as a blogger rather than an academic. But this style helped the "anecdote interspersed with lessons learned" pattern that these books tend to use feel less stale.

I do think the overall lesson of "you are mortal and therefore can only give so many fucks, so choose carefully what to give a fuck about" is probably more necessary now than ever and I'm so glad I read this one.

No es el típico libro de autoayuda

4 stars

Aunque es un libro de autoayuda, pero no cae en los manidos argumentos falaces de los que hacen uso en esos libros. Una lectura interesante si quieres que los pequeños problemas de la vida te interesen un poco menos.

I'm pretty ambivalent about this book. On one hand it's clear the author has a gift to write in an entertaining way and there are some real life truths in the book. On the other hand the book as a whole doesn't hold together much and the style is blunt, sometimes too blunt.

Eine unterhaltsame Art...

4 stars

... um "Überlege Dir, was Dir wirklich wichtig ist" zu sagen. Und ja, der Autor hat eine sehr direkte Art sich auszudrücken; muss man mögen.

Quite refreshing

4 stars

Felt a little like sitting on the psychologist’s couch, except that instead of being asked questions, I was being preached to. Quite refreshing, albeit unorthodox.

Some good tips but written from a lot of privilege

4 stars

I like some of the things he says about improving mental health by not judging by others and not always having to be the best and appreciating what you have. But I can't help feeling that "Not Giving a Fuck" is a very privileged position to be in. Those who are disadvantaged by circumstance or discrimination may not have the luxury of this position.

Not giving more fucks than to say this: What a waste of money. It feels like it wants to be one of those terrible mindfulness-books, but written by someone who despite his claims of having grown remains a misogynistic teenager at heart.

meh, rather disliked, but there were some useful thoughts in this book

3 stars

Wouldn't recommend, though I don't regret reading it.

Attaboy reviewed The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

Wonderfully written, and a lot of great advice.

5 stars

What a beautifully written book. You could open it at any page, randomly choose a sentence and it would make for a wonderful quote. Once you started reading, it's hard to stop.

The book is full of great (life-) advice with fitting examples from the author's own experiences.

Sometimes I wasn't quite sure where it was going or if it was ever going to get there at all, but I liked his tone and way of thinking, and in the end I think it's cohesive and very intriguing. Would recommend.

I pretty much learned nothing from this book, sadly.

The first 2 chapters were promising, but then it just went down hill. It was very repititive and I can not hear the word “entitled” again.

I can’t help but feel that this entire book could have been on one sheet of paper.

This is not a book in which to find any deep thought. There are some fine common-sense bits, but that common sense is packaged in much the same way L. Ron Hubbard packages his wisdom-isms in his own irony-quote, self-help books, irony-unquote. (The best news, I guess, is that Mark Manson never started a cult.)

There are a few items in this book I would have cherry-picked for myself as a confused twenty-year-old young man, but would that advice back then actually have helped? Doubtful. There are much better books than this I should have read. This just feels like something written by a recovering, secret, pick-up-artist/men's-rights-activist.

The author really wants you to know he's had sex with a lot of very beautiful women, all while telling you that really powerful people rarely brag.

If F*cks were stars, I would give this book none.

This is an amazing book.

I watched a random video YouTube recommended about the "Do Something" principle, which led me to this book. It turned out I had already read Mark Manson's other book - Models. Thinking this would be a lame, feel-good, increase self-esteem piece of fluff, I still picked it up. To my utter surprise, this was a great book, it asked some really good questions and had some great ideas, which I won't spoil but summarizing here for you.

Overall, entertaining and useful, what more can a guy ask of a book?
