“Mark’s ability to dig deep and offer amazing, yet counter-intuitive, insight into the challenges of life makes him one of my favorite writers, and this book is his best work yet.” - Matt Kepnes, New York Times bestselling author of Travel the World on $50 a Day: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Smarter

“This book hits you like a much-needed slap in the face from your best friend: hilarious, vulgar, and immensely thought-provoking. Only read if you’re willing to set aside all excuses and take an active role in living a f***ing better life.” - Steve Kamb, bestselling author of Level Up Your Life and founder of NerdFitness.com

“The opposite of every other book. Don’t try. Give up. Be wrong. Lower your standards. Stop believing in yourself. Follow the pain. And oh yeah, kill yourself. Each point is profoundly true, useful, and more powerful than the usual positivity. Succinct but surprisingly deep, I read it in one night, and now need to read it again.” - Derek Sivers, Founder of CD Baby and author of Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur

“An in-your-face guide to living with integrity and finding happiness in sometimes-painful places… This book, full of counterintuitive suggestions that often make great sense, is a pleasure to read and worthy of rereading.

Reviews

Disappointing

"I wanted to like this book, I really did. I have seen some small video snippets from Mark Manson and thought he seemed to have some good advice. I was at a point in my life where I needed to learn how to not get so worked up about insignificant events or people, so I thought this book would be my panacea. I was very disappointed. I found the tone of the book to be very pompous and boastful. When I realized how much younger the author actually was than me, I didn't dismiss his experience-based advice immediately, but then I started to question it more and more as the book went on. It became apparent that the author's life was much different from mine. He admitted that he came from a fairly affluent background. Most of the issues he faced in his life seemed to be the direct result of poor decision making. I didn't wanna say ""poor little rich kid"" but. . . The beginning of the book was interesting and somewhat helpful. But about halfway through, it became bragging disguised as advice. Lots of references to his world travel, his seemingly pointless higher education endeavors, his entrepreneurial successes, the apparently huge number of intimate partners he had because he was just so irresistible, the many speaking engagements he gets invited to, the flocks of adoring and often obsessed fans, and the large amount of money he makes peddling his self-help stuff. I didn't really learn anything from this book except about the author's life, living a frat boy type lifestyle that I can't relate to in any way. I got through 90% of the book before I just couldn't listen anymore and had to abandon it. I wish I would have sooner. If the author reads this review, I am sure he won't give a fig about my opinion, but I did enough to write this review."

Not worth reading

"PLOT OR PREMISE: This is a self-help guide to reducing your stress levels by choosing to care only about those things that are important to you. . WHAT I LIKED: I found this a very odd book to read. In almost every chapter, I found myself disagreeing with his evidence and examples, often thinking they proved the opposite of what he was trying to use them to prove, yet at the same time agreeing with some of the premises. It felt more like he had some solid ideas throughout, just not very well developed. Like, for instance, that we have limited bandwidth to care about things and therefore we should not care about a lot of unimportant stuff (hence the title), finding problems you like to solve (i. e. what you love), prioritizing better values for ourselves in line with what we love, and certainty being an enemy of growth (so you should risk failure more). . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Most of his examples are Millenial-style rants, not actual evidence to support his arguments, and it is a lot of work to come to the conclusion ""don't sweat the small stuff and it is all small stuff"", but with swearing. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow him on social media."

A Good Read

"This book has some good tips on how to look at situations that cause you stress in your day to day life. It’s a short read with a bit of rambling and filler, but when you take a step back, the tips are useful and help you approach problems in a different way."

— Marlon (4/5)

Wasn't a big fan

"While there were a number of aspects that I enjoyed about Manson's edgy novel, overall I am not a huge fan. Although, I should be transparent with the fact that I've never read a self-help book before. So perhaps my critiques are more reflective of the genre norms, as a opposed to the author himself. Let's start with what I liked: the sarcastic no bullshit attitude that was evident in the writing style was definitely entertaining. Along with the anecdotes about remarkable people and stories that served as a strong hook to each chapter. However, my favourite part of the book was perhaps the final chapter ""And then you die. . . "". For me, this was the most real part of the book. [ Specifically, when Manson talks about standing on the earth's edge at Cape of Good Hope pondering the meaning of life. It was truly chilling and made me reflect on my own motives and goals for my future. I applaud using this as a strong conclusion to the work. ](hide spoiler) Now, what I didn't like: given the lack of credentials listed, the entire book I just couldn't help but think, who made this guy the expert? Sure, he had some good ideas but a lot of his philosophy was based on his own experiences and in my opinion was blind to other realities. Also, while I appreciated the anecdotes, I was always frustrated by the lack of citation of these stories. I would often put the book down to do a quick fact check (he was usually spot on) but the academic in me would have preferred to see references included in the work. Lastly, my biggest frustration of this book was the lack of coherence. Really each chapter was like a mini-essay and each often overlapped and became extremely repetitive. This lack of flow became so distracting that I often questioned if I had read certain parts. In the end, I would recommend this book to friends. However, I do not think it really changed me in anyway, as I expected a critically acclaimed self-help book may."

not for me

"Many people i know read this and loved it but I just could not get into it. Maybe i'm an outlier because most things were not novelties to me."

— VBlueGirl (3/5)

Love this book

"Been wanting to read this book for awhile. Such a good read. Was very entertaining"

— Felicia (4/5)

I give a fuck about this book

"Great book! Bought it on a whim because of the title and wasn't disappointed. Easy read. Reminded me of a vulgar Don't Sweat the Small Stuff."

— Jennifer (4/5)

I truly loved this book!!!!

"It's poignant, thought provoking, and it's flippin hilarious!! I've made at least ten people read it, and every person has said it's touched them in one way or another. It's messages are powerful, yet simple, but prepare to be humbled. This book has changed my life for the better and I feel a sense of freedom in my own skin - which is an incredible feeling. Read THIS!!!!! You will not regret it"

— Evyapproves (5/5)

Nothing new but entertaining

"This is essentially don't sweat the small stuff but written with a lot of swearing. I found the little anecdotes entertaining and some funny; they certainly help drive home the point. Other parts I found a little preachy, reads like a textbook though with a lot more f*cks in it."

— Jaime (2/5)

This is one of my favorite books

"This author keeps it straight to the point, from cover to cover. He also has some really interesting examples to back his point. I feel like I did apply his ideas to my current life and that has helped me feel less stressed and bothered by other people. I highly recommend this book to anybody."
