ssweeny reviewed The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson (The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, #1)
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us …

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.
