Give Less F's | Book Insights Podcast on The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

*Despite the attention-grabbing title, this isn’t a guide for rebels without a cause, keen to flip the middle finger at society and authority. Instead, it’s an unusually deep and thought-provoking look into the human experience.
*Mining his own memories of being expelled from school for drug possession, travelling around the world seducing women, coming to terms with his parents’ divorce, and struggling to forge a career as a blogger, Manson presents a unique and intriguing life philosophy that cuts through the empty promises of clichéd self-help manuals.
*The “subtle art” of the title poses a challenge: stop chasing other people’s visions of happiness, identify your personal “things to give a fuck about” and stick to them.
*Manson doesn’t pretend this counterintuitive approach guarantees eternal wealth and happiness - this is not that kind of book - but he’s convinced it will give you a shot at a pretty good life.
