Listened to the audiobook. Some good/helpful ideas. Definitely written from a straight, white, male perspective - which was often a turn-off.

Overall a fairly good pop-psychology/philosophy book on how to determine your values and what matters to you in life. Wish he would have cited his research when stating sweeping generalizations.
I liked this. Nothing earth shattering, but it's a novel approach. I listened to see if it would be good for my Growth Goals & Grit students, knowing that the language wouldn't work for some. My worry would be the nonchalant way he discusses his history of drug use. I feel it normalizes it.

Meh. It‘s a fresh, modern way of saying all the self-help things that have been said and written a million times before over the history of humankind. Part stoicism. Part Greek. Part conclusions he reached through therapy. Manson doesn‘t necessarily add to the conversation as much as make it as blunt as a man-to-man locker room halftime speech as well as being more humorous than the typical self-help tome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Drove a couple hours just to make it to the ‘Friends of the Library‘ book sale! Totally worth it!
1. I know the tagged book might seem like an odd choice, but I think if I had read this going into high school, my teen years would have been very different.
2. The House on The Cerulean Sea
3. John Scalzi. I think he'd be a great dinner conversationalist.

Took this metaphorically, so the word “therapy“ is not in the title, but, man, it helped me survive my last years of teaching with Covid + some insane parents. 😅
Started great with many laughs. The second half was still OK, but a bit repetitive and mild less interested.
" the key to a good life is not giving a fuck to more, its giving a fuck about less"
Mark Manson gives a controversial view on how to live a good life. He also provides many stories and relatable experiences that make you think twice about how you can control certain situations. Its also helpful in the act of building self awareness. Its not like most books you will read. I highly reccommend to all.

So far this has a funny and realistic self help book vibe. Surprisingly enjoyable so far
Probably one of the best for the starters to read.It gives you more about things which should be given a damn in life in order to life happily and free.#selfimprovement #healing #betterwords #positivemind #worthreading #sogood
Rep. Katie Porter seen reading this book while waiting to vote for Speaker of the House. She's clearly a reader. Love this just as much as her white boards.
Interesting perspective. I liked the self-awareness onion theory!
For some reason it took me too long to read this book. It‘s kind of counterintuitive, but I really loved this book.
Reading on a kid's desk has its own distractions ...

This was an excellent and much needed book for me right now. Mark Manson throws no punches as he tells you that you can't care about it all! That you have to pick and choose what to give a fuck about and how once you decide what to give a fuck about your life improves. Great read. 5 ⭐
A guide to only giving a f*ck about the things that truly matter to you, and ignoring those that don't, thus living a better life.

Talks about values, self-awareness, relationships, death and more.It's highly insightful and recommended.

I‘m too old for self help bloggers.
Wow. This book was garbage. There is nothing less interesting, intuitive, or helpful than white, male, surface level, neuro typical advice. The man is a millionaire, he can afford to not give a fuck.
This was okay and worth the listen as my commute audiobook. Some good insights of life, although I thought it was a little hilarious at one point in the book when he said something like, “now that I‘m in my 30s” stated with a sense that now he‘s so mature and has the answers 😅 I guess a little mansplaining.
I‘m going to be honest…I am already rather stingy with the f*cks I give, but when two friends recommend a book, you read it. There were a few good points in here, but nothing that I haven‘t heard before in some form. You are not special. Give a f*ck about things that are truly worthy of your time. I work in a hotel and while I am not nearly delusional enough to think that the rooms and staff are perfect, I can tell when someone stays up ⬇️
First 15 Pages were tough and contradicting to me But A Good Read Very Good Read Overall
This is fantastic… I just heard “fuck” about 348 times on the way to work. I‘ll have to check out his other one “Everything is F*cked”. “We‘re never going to cure cancer, go to the moon or feel Jennifer Aniston‘s tits, and that‘s okay. Life goes on.”
I felt underwhelmed reading this book, there were some elements of wisdom I could use in my daily life but it was hard to differentiate this book from the other motivation type books available.
Not sure why I continued reading this book other than that it was a quick read. I had serious issues with the first half as the author made grand declarations unsupported by research (at least he didn't cite any). The second half addresses five counterintuitive values for living a better life and these chapters resonated better with me. Not sure I'd recommend anyone else read this, but there is some value in it.

Quick, motivational, easy read that is fun because of Mark Manson's injection of quirky humor at unforeseen moments.
This book helps me shift my paradigm of how to live away from a self-centered, fatalistic, and victimized viewpoint to a more caring, empowered, and honest one.
I recommend it highly as long as you are OK with some foul language.

📖 I like it. Two friends recommended it but must not have realized that I am already pretty good at not giving a 🤫.

Mark articulates things that most would know but not necessarily understand or spend time considering and for that I think it was a great read and very relevant to today's culture.
This book was a bit of a disappointment. The advice was okay, but I needed some scientific sources and there were none. Now the book is just about how the author approaches life.
TBR since November 2021; 204 pages.
Impulse borrow from libby
A huge middle finger to the self-help industry, this book offers an extremely relevant and beautiful message gift-wrapped with crass humor and f-bombs that would surely cause you deep introspection. It has its issues: Mark tends to repeat his points a lot throughout, but overall, not a big deal. This book doesn't give a f*ck. It gut-punches you with stuff that you NEED to hear. If you're sick of all the toxic positivity, this book is for you. 8/10
Welp, life events had me exploring the topic of not giving a flying f*** and so it was finally time to tackle this Mount TBR beauty. I dig the concept and I definitely appreciated the content on the topic of failing and how failure is what drives growth. #growth
I found this book to be very rewarding to read, it was funny, informative and a not too long winded. I have to agree with most of this guys points. One is take responsibility with your actions or how you respond to an outside factor.
This book has a ton of explicit words, so if you do not care about that, I recommend it.
This book has not only opened my eyes to a different way of living but it has also empowered me to stop being afraid to take chances and to do what I truly believe in. I highly recommend this book even if it its your type of book. I usually enjoy non-fiction but my sister bought this book and encouraged me to read it. I highly recommend everyone to read it and apply it to your life as we will all be better off for it.#10 read a book of your choice
"You and everyone you know are going to be dead soon. And in the short amount of time between here and there, you have a limited amount of fucks to give. Very few, in fact. And if you go around giving a fuck about everything and everyone without conscious thought or choice—well, then you‘re going to get fucked."

1. Occasionally
2. Read this one just because of the title.
3. For me, yes. Not every word is gospel but there are usually a few ideas I want to mull over and apply to my life.
