Durante los últimos años, Mark Manson -en su popular blog- se ha afanado en corregir nuestras delirantes expectativas sobre nosotros mismos y el mundo. Ahora nos ofrece su toda su intrépida sabiduría en este libro pionero. Manson nos recuerda que los seres humanos somos falibles y limitados: ""no todos podemos ser extraordinarios: hay ganadores y perdedores en la sociedad, y esto no siempre es justo o es tu culpa"". Manson nos aconseja que reconozcamos nuestras limitaciones y las aceptemos. Esto es, según él, el verdadero origen del empoderamiento. Una vez que abrazamos nuestros temores, faltas e incertidumbres, una vez que dejamos de huir y evadir y empezamos a confrontar las verdades dolorosas, podemos comenzar a encontrar el valor, la perseverancia, la honestidad, la responsabilidad, la curiosidad y el perdón que buscamos. Este manifiesto es una refrescante bofetada, para que podamos empezar a llevar vidas más satisfechas y con los pies …

Licht und Schatten

Der Anfang des Buchs wirkte auf mich wie der Versuch des Autors, möglichst häufig das Wort "Fuck" unterzubringen und zu gucken, wie weit er damit kommt. Das ist zu einem gewissen Grad noch erfrischend gegenüber etwas dröger Lektüre, aber ab einem gewissen Punkt dann doch zu viel. Über die ganze Buchdistanz fand ich es ok, kann aber auch sehen, wenn das anderen nicht liegt und das Buch dann recht schnell wieder in die Ecke gelegt wird.

Ganz grob zusammengefasst kann man sagen, es geht darum, zu akzeptieren, dass man sich im Leben immer mit irgendwelchen Problemen rumschlagen muss, die man oft nicht selbst verschuldet hat, aber für deren aus-dem-Weg-räumen man selbst und nicht andere Menschen verantwortlich sind. In der etwas schroffen Art der Ausdrucksweise kann das vielleicht ein ganz guter Augenöffner sein, falls "fühligere" Literatur da nicht deutlich genug ist/nicht zum Leser durchdringt.

Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass …

Gems hidden in here

Manson doesn't give us a proper framework for non-fuck-giving living. His platitudes often come out as trite. But there are some passages and touchpoints in this book where the ideas are sharp and will get you thinking about how they apply to your own situation. And the ones that appeal to me likely will be different from the ones that appeal to you.

So I'd say this is worth a read to see if anything in it can help you better understand your own situation and approach to living.

reviewed The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson (The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, #1)

Some good tips but written from a lot of privilege

I like some of the things he says about improving mental health by not judging by others and not always having to be the best and appreciating what you have. But I can't help feeling that "Not Giving a Fuck" is a very privileged position to be in. Those who are disadvantaged by circumstance or discrimination may not have the luxury of this position.

Wonderfully written, and a lot of great advice.

What a beautifully written book. You could open it at any page, randomly choose a sentence and it would make for a wonderful quote. Once you started reading, it's hard to stop.

The book is full of great (life-) advice with fitting examples from the author's own experiences.

Review of 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' on 'Goodreads'

It starts good but quickly gets into an endless repetition of the same principles over and over again. It also feels like there is no clear structure.
Basically, the core essence is that to be successful, you have to struggle and also want to struggle. Only if you accept the struggle or even enjoy them, you reach your goals. Don’t postpone, do it. Strive for constant improvement. Don’t blame everything on others, be responsible for your actions and doubt yourself.
It’s nothing groundbreaking.
The contents would have easily fit into a medium-sized article.
Two stars because it started out good and if you never ever heard about these principles, he makes them easy to grasp.
