The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson Book Summary

#1 New York Times Bestseller

Over 10 million copies sold

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Painful truths, easy read.. This book is FANTASTIC. I would recommend this book to literally anyone & everyone. We forget to live and this book is a good reminder.

Great book. Amazing book thanks mark

Helping me get through my quarter life crisis :). I’m an English major and an English teacher as well. Since graduating college almost 3 years ago I have started many books but I haven’t been able to finish reading until now. This book is super impactful especially since I’m going through what I believe is my quarter life crisis. I’ve recently been dealing with some awful anxiety and this book has been the best help. It hasn’t been a week and sadly I’m almost done with it.

Must Read !!!. Awesome book !!! Invigorating

TRANSFORMED. This Book was nothing short of Amazing and immensely delivered. I’m as Excited to read the second book upon Hope! Mark Manson… Thank you, HVAB out !

no. got about halfway through the book before i gave up trying to learn a new point. there was none. just said the same thing in 50 different analogies and references. save your time.

So so good. Really enjoyed reading this and took a lot of mental notes for life throughout the book. Highly recommend.

Hilarious therefore intellectually stimulating. Title sums it up.

Enlightening. I finished reading this book today… I’ll probably go to bed reading it tonight. It’s raw, it’s candid, and it’s worth the money.

Phenomenal. That’s about all I have to say.

A great book about values. This book is very great in teaching what is truly important in life and what not to give a f about. This book really go into detail on all the key values and give amazing examples too. Definitely recommend if you feel like you struggle with finding something worth giving a f about or you think you care about too many things!!

An Amazing Book. This book really sunk into my soul. Its a lot to process. It hurts. However, it gives me new things, and perspectives to try into my own life.

review. great book! HIGHLYYYYY recommend for anyone to read!

Fantastic. Great read ! Fantastic

Didn’t hold my interest.. Wasn’t my cup of tea. I was hoping for something more like Dale Carnegie’s How to stop worrying and start living and this book fell short of that.

Life changed. Read it; listened to the words and let it change my life. It did. Now, I stand and reflect on the cliff, too.

The title doesn’t say it all. Phenomenal read.

That is one to sell a book ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️. Rehash of old Material-one star at best‼️‼️‼️👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Change. I really change my point of you how I see people now

Amazing Book. I am someone who has struggled with panic disorder, anxiety and unresolved complex grief. This book has made an immediate impact on my life and I will forever keep the teachings of it in my thoughts. Highly recommend.

GREAT BOOK!. A must read!!!! Everyone should read this book at least once, some of us more than once!

Very good and fast read. Very good book

G J. Well done Mark , Well done

Great Book!. Awesome read!

I mean it. Katzee24 shut up

Self help. Definitely help me a lot improving my self and my relationships amazing book top 3 for me

I hate reading but…. I barely read books but this was a good read , a lot of topics to keep in mind which will help you in everyday life

Wow!. I literally cried the last chapter… but I don’t give a F. I loved this book!

WOW. This book was 10x better than I expected it to be. I knew it was going to be a good read based on the title, But I wasn’t expecting it to be THIS GOOD.

Good.. Easy to read. Packed with relevant tools for contemporary lifestyle.

The Subtle art of making you think and gaining a new perspective. Fresh and thought provoking. Highly recommend.

Great book. Amazing and uplifting

Not a self help book. The book opened my eyes to how I live my life daily and to decide what is important to me and worthwhile to pour energy into on my short flight around the globe .

Read when it calls to u. I have known about this book for years, always wanted to read it, never quite got around to buying it.. for whatever reasons now that I’ve read it i can say I am not disappointed Great read.. perfect timing

Wouldn’t recommend. A difficult read.

Incredible read!!. What a great book! Live, leave legacies! So many great lessons!

Positive Perspective of life and death. This book has truly given me a different insight of both life and death by appreciating both and realizing that one must have a full understanding of death in order to fully live with no guilt and minimal stress. This book also highlights the importance of challenges and being able to overcome those challenges without expecting others to help you.

Interesting viewpoint. An interesting read and take on how one might deal with day to day challenges that life brings. While most of the content is obvious, sometimes we forget to remind ourselves of how silly humans, including myself, truly are. Life’s a journey and it’s not about the end game. The path along the way is what we should treasure.

5 stars. Good read, funny and insightful

Eye-opening. This book is a deep look into self. One day I hope you will read and go on a journey of self care.

So far, so good. Only one chapter in and i already love this book👍🏽

Thankful.. Great book to read after a breakup!

The momentum... After the first third of the book, I really lost momentum in reading it. But up to that point I loved it.

A must read.. I loved the new perspective on life that this book provides. A very refreshing use of humor and fun examples I portray serious issues eu5un society and ourselves.

Great read- once you get past the “f-bombs”. Being one of Christian faith, I was not sure I wanted to read this one. I am glad I did. It was a great book with wisdom and historical relevance to his point. I am grateful I didn’t allow all of the “f bombs” to influence my decision. A must read!

Meh…. There is some good content throughout the book; however, the author’s self referential diarrhea needs to be worked around to reach it.

Fantastic !!!. Amazing way to wake yourself up from the nightmare. It’s a pleasure to read and understand. Everyone won’t understand, but those who get it will. Thank you for writing this in such a candid manner. Eternally grateful.-Jae Law Aka Hindrix.

Strong start weak end. Strong start weak end

Eye opening at the very least. I recently fell into pretty bad anxiety attacks about how I’m not doing enough or how I don’t have friends and all that, and after reading this book it really helped me put my life and future into a more stable perspective. I don’t want to spoil just in case anyone does want to read it (fantastic btw) but it’s definitely an eye opening experience and at the very least made me question some things about the myself

Excellent!. Something in this for everyone!

Dodi. Great book 👍🏼

You should read this book. Amazing book. Very true and relatable. Could not put it down!

A book you will come back to again and again.. Wow, such a deep book yet humorous. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I highlighted far more paragraphs to come back to in this book than any other ‘self help’ book I have read. And I read a lot!

My new bible. Enjoyed every word. Definitely will read this again until every chapter sticks to my brain!

Wow!. Amazing book that is written well and does exactly what it says, explores a fine art of becoming happy. Would recommend to anyone.

An absolute must read. Making a conscious decision of what is important has already made such a difference in my life

Great read. Can’t believe I hadn’t read this already…excellent *****

Good but repetitive. The Books has amazing analogies, really smart way of seeing life and a different approach to our reality . However I do feel like there was repetition of the same concept in the middle of the book . But after a few hours pages it became interesting again .

Honestly, the best 'Self Help' Book EVER. I've read a lot of self help books over the years, but none like this one. Marks written this so well that it's genuinely had a positive effect on my life in that I've taken in what he has said and I've put it into practice and would you believe it... He's right! Would absolutely recommend this (already have convinced my friends to buy it!) to anyone, particularly if you are going through a hard time.

Absolutely brilliant and what everyone could do with reading. My my my. This was my first time reading a book considered to be “self-help” as I have been sceptical about such books. This book is for anyone who has been left feeling like they endured constant internal conflict in what they are doing in life or the people they have around them. I really wish more people broke things down like Mark has done. This book has proven that complex subjects can be explained in simpler ways, which enable the reader to easily digest AND without the use of technical terms. Everything in here is what I have thought but could never explain to someone and it’s so refreshing to read that someone out there has the same outlook on life, especially with the effects of social media on people’s values and behaviours (this is coming from someone who is in their late 20s!!) Will definitely be recommending this to people I know and are open to hear the truth!

Marvellous!!!. The best book I’ve ever read. Super interesting, deep, but funny!

Thought provoking. I enjoyed this book in a way that made me see things differently and definitely made me think about how I live my life and how I could improve my life by thinking differently. Thought provoking indeed! I’m looking forward to reading the next book!

Grounded and justified. Although slightly repetitive at times, this is a great look at our existence, marking what is important and what isn’t. It starts with funny life comparisons and moves to a more psychological and profound review of life. It ends with a personal experience and life-changing moment and it’s effects. I really liked it. I’m definitely going to read it again to make sure I’ve absorbed it all.

Don’t let it trick you in to buying a useless book. Not worth the money !

Great Read. A lot of the concepts in the book seemed very relevant to what was going on in my life, and I ended up not being able to put it down.

Amazing. Inspiring

My dream book. Basically me any given day

Helps you reflect on what matters. Well written and enjoyable whilst thoroughly thought provoking.

Such a good read. This made me question myself a lot about my values. Having to self reflect after a break up, this has really helped me a lot with processing things with myself.

Mind blowing. Wow

Best read for people who have interest in sociology and psychology. Refreshing, straightforward, honest and brutal at times

Written by a self-indulgent narcissist. Save your money and don’t bother with this book.

Life Changing. My whole life I’ve suffered with anxiety. Which led me to living a life where I was consistently trying to impress other people. You can say my mind was prisoned in a way. It also destroyed my confidence and Self-Esteem. After reading this book it’s helped me clarify my attributes and what the meaning of life is. Mark Manson I’m grateful for this book and appreciate the time and effort you invested to put this together. One of the best investments I’ve made and I’m not referring to the money, TIME, my time.

Great read. Really enjoyed this, gave me a new perspective on life.

Just fantastic, great read from start to finish.. This is by far the most touching book I have read so far, I couldn't believe how many life events in this book relates to my life. Great stuff.

For people who can’t meditate. Very good at explaining the impenetrable world of “inner work” in terms that I understand and can use practically. And a gifted writer and wit to boot.

Financial Market : Terminologies and Their Definitions. This is a book written by an ex-banker, Md.AliAkram who resides in Dhaka, Bangladesh.The book deals with the technical terms used in the capital market, banking, insurance and leasing companies . It also mentions accounting , economic and legal terms. The book is very useful for bankers, insurers, economists and those who are trading in the share market. The ex- editor, Financial Express, Late Mr.Moezzem Hussain wrote the prologue of the book and highly lauded its contents. The publisher of the book , Mr. A.M.M. Ali ABBAS may be contacted if any body is interested to purchase the book. We are also looking for publishers in USA or Europe.

Fun but profound. Mark has a great conversational laid back style but packs a massive punch right at the end. Much like life.

Brilliant book. This book made me think about the things I usually wouldn’t. Probably one of the best ‘self-help’ books I’ve read actually, considering the approach is completely different to what I’m used to. The writing style was also very easy to understand and interpret, putting things into perspective for me. I would recommend this book anyone, but especially to those who tend to care about what others think and those who fear trying new things out!

Incredible.. This book gives a reality check in the best way, well worth the read.

Funny and smart.. Candid and straightforward, Manson delves into topics which would traditionally trigger an existential crisis with lighthearted banter. A very enjoyable and interesting read.

Some really powerful take aways. Some of the most powerful take aways from the book: - Happiness Comes from Solving Problems If you’re avoiding your problems or think you don’t have any problems, then you’re going to make yourself miserable. If you think you have problems that you can’t solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place. - Make choices about what to dedicate yourself to and commit to them. When you’re pursuing a wide breadth of experiences, there are diminishing returns to each new adventure, each by new person or thing. breadth of experience is likely necessary and desirable when you’re young— you have to go out there and discover what seems worth investing yourself in, but depth is where the gold is buried. You have to stay committed to something and go deep into it. That’s true in relationships, in a career, in building a great lifestyle—in everything.

Better than the free sample. I read the free sample available on iBooks which was full of ‘fook this, fook that, and fook you and fook everything’ (that’s how I read it really) and thought no way I was going to read this book...it had many good reviews so I decided to go against my first impression... and surprisingly the book is actually well thought with interesting concepts which made me question my perception of life. Five stars and I guess as the saying goes “don’t judge the book by its cover” or in this case the free sample full of ‘fooking’ things.

Not mind blowing. Great premise but lacks depth and becomes too repetitive. A book that should’ve remained a blog.

A good read. I enjoyed this book but it wasn’t mind blowing

REAL. A beautiful book on what truly matters in life. I laughed, looked inward at my flaws and I also cried.

SUPER DUMB bad influence. Didn’t even read it Ps I would do zero stars but I can not

One of the greatest book. One of the most amazing book. I will read it again forsure. It gave me the sense of reality

Super important value in life. If you want to read it, go for it!

I needed this book. This book came at a time when I needed it the most. I have always been a ‘blunt, to the point, say it like it is person’ but the past few months I was repressing who I am. It started by being involved in a work culture lead by a narcissistic bully and then unravelled as she brought on a ‘mini me’ of herself. The way I dealt with chastising emails, ridiculous self involved social media posts, culture of ‘don’t complain - you’re bringing the rest of us down’, was to keep my head down. I shut-up. I stayed quiet. I ‘ignored’ the best way I could. Until one day, today, I was about 3/4 of the way through this book, and I saw a good friend / colleague get berated for simply questioning the logic of a decision - and I decided enough was enough. Why? Because I heard the words ‘if something is bugging you, confront it’ take action. And I did. And it felt sooo great. I may never change the narcissist, but I can, and I will, be true to me. And stand up for what I believe in. Thank-you for this!!

Really gave me insight. This book is amazing and I’ve really gained a different perspective on life!

Great book. It brings self awareness that we need. It helped me a lot put thing back in line.

Awesome read!. I just began reading (for pleasure) again after finishing school and this was the first book I finished so far. Not only does the author make some great jokes, but he makes a lot of his points simple, without the sugar coating (and I think we all need that). It’s an honest, well-written book and I have recommended it to a couple of people! It really is a self-improvement book rather than a self-help one and I truly enjoy that. If you don’t know the difference between the two, well I’d say this book is a great place to start. Thank you Mark :)

3.5/5. Good read and awesome for self reflection. Great words to scout and add to vocabulary box.

Truth at your face. I hates reading and I’m not the person to handover a book to and expect him to read. I’m more of a visual/movie kind of a person. This is my first ever book that I’ve read in my life and surprisingly finished it, cause i guess i needed to hear all of that. I just love reading now. Books are my new best friend.

Truly a work of art. I’m not one to leave reviews on books, or anything i endeavour in to be honest, but the fact that I am currently, has a lot to say about to magnitude of this book. Inspiring to say the very least, a must read.

The greatest book I’ve read...to date. It’s quite plainly, a book choosing not to care about things that don’t need to. Caring takes energy and this book encourages you to realize not every person who cuts you off in traffic doesn’t require any response. This book will literally save years of your life 👍👍👍👍👍

This book will make you think…. It’s ridiculous how much this book opened my eyes. You must read it. Everyone should read it. It should be in high-school curriculum as a mandatory read to graduate.

$&@! What you know!. Take time and read this book. You’ll learn more about yourself and what you want out of life.

Worth the Read. Overall the book was good, but it wasn’t as if every chapter was mind-blowing. There are a few key messages and strong chapters that make the whole book worth reading. Definitely a change in perspective and a nice reminder that everyone is going through the same thing.

Different view point. I had so many AhA moments when reading this book. It offers a really different perspective on life. It’s controversial approach to life in it essence brings out the most important essence of living. Very intriguing read.

Great book. You learn a lot. Period.

I Love this book! ❤️. Awesome book 📖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Enlightened. Thank you for this.

Fantastic. This book gives you a new approach towards your opinion on life while evaluating your values and decisions. Great read 👍🏻

too expensive. so expensive

Perfect. Great book to reset our brain to his basic

Quit Reading. Poorly written an incoherent most of the time. I just decided to cut my losses and quit reading it.

Long and boring. The book has many stories, but nothing concrete to help me. I tried and tried reading it but I gave up. It should have been a 50 page book with tricks , lessons to help.I got nothing from what I was able to read. I can’t believe it was a bestseller.

Amazing book. I’ve never been one for reading. Mark’s books make me re-think my life and my values and push me to be a better person. On to his next book now.

Better than expected. Yes, some of the stories from his blog are in the book. Having said that, the book is really great I'm so glad I bought it. I will definitely be picking up extra copies as gifts for friends this Christmas.

Totally worth reading.. Amazing book, the author has a way with words.

Wow. Pretty interesting book. Really emphasizes how our whole life can change if we get our priorities straight...

An eye opening reality check. This book needs to be part of school curriculum. Its the kind of book that regularly makes you laugh, not necessarily because what you just read is funny, but rather because you can't believe that you're not as special as you thought you were, and someone is writing about it as if they know you - and god damn does it ever feel good. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

100%. A bit of spelling errors, but you don’t even mind when the book is speaking your mind 😉

Canada. Mark is brilliant, compelling and truthful. I can't wait to see more books from this writer.

life changer. it totally changes my perspective of life.

Thank you. Mark you have my deepest gratitude for helping me open my eyes and face my fears with a smile thank you

love and thought provoking. an amazing read. and highly recommend. through a series of different real life stories of his own and many others, mark manson is able to convey key points to readers. point in which should be considered and used when making decisions throughout life.

Enjoyed it. Good read and funny.

Excellent. Loved it
