Skip the fake positivity! The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson offers a new view in self-help. It says no to always being happy and shows that accepting imperfection and struggle leads to a meaningful life.
Don’t only chase success – Manson believes real happiness comes when you choose what matters most and let go of the rest. This means saying yes to your flaws, welcoming failure, and putting your values first over outside approval. It’s not about not caring, but caring deeply for the right things.
