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 persuasively argues that not caring about everything and everyone is the key to finding genuine happiness and purpose.
I'd say that's the whole point: letting go of your "I'm entitled so I'm offended" beliefs and challenging yourself to overcome this personal stigma to improve your outlook on life.

After the first few chapters, it often felt like the author contradicting himself with what followed. Manson sold more than 250,000 copies of his self-published book, Models: Attract Women Through Honesty .His writing is often described as ‘self-help for people who hate self-help’ — a no-BS brand of life advice and cultural commentary that has struck a chord with people around the globe. Not denying your own flaws by redirecting the blame onto other people when challenged (many people are guilty of this). Manson encourages readers to embrace their fears and flaws and to prioritize personal growth over external validation. Popular blogger Manson (Models: Attract Women Through Honesty, 2011) criticizes self-help books for their fundamentally flawed approach of telling readers they're special, assuring them that they can surpass—but, notably, not solve—problems, and encouraging them to embrace their exceptionalism. If the book's intention was to make one immune (or resistant) to the difficulties the society put in one's way (as the name implies), at least for me, it failed spectacularly.
Chapter 6 is pretty confused and lacks structure making it quite hard to follow and even making it seem a little against the tide at times. She only texts me when she wants or needs something and, while we love and respect each other - we just aren't all THAT.I even feel like I'm being generous giving 2-stars instead of one, but that's only for the interesting example stories author presented (only the stories, not the author's opinions) and for the obvious difficulties of life that we all already know.

Anything with curse words on the cover picks my interest :P The first half of it was my favorite, the aim of this book is to help the reader to think a little bit more clearly about what they’re choosing to find important in life and what they’re choosing to find unimportant. We can all save ourselves the trouble of trying to find happiness by just realizing that we need to choose to be happy now.And there’s an elderly lady screaming at the cashier, berating him for not accepting her 30-cent coupon. All is well with the world and I am happy these are much needed things my contribution can go toward. Real stuff that actually helps you come to terms with yourself and not inflating your ego, or doing some tantric yoga exercises to unlock your inner chi circles. Though Manson and his narrator at times try too hard to succeed, the audio delivers enough worthwhile ideas to make it useful. Like a fine wine, our fucks must age into a fine vintage, only uncorked and given on the most special fucking occasions.
Although after a bout of depression last year (yea the "D" word get's thrown around alot these days), I myself was seeking out therapy. This was done a bit with the concept of action leading to motivation and even something that simple was helpful.This book, full of counterintuitive suggestions that often make great sense, is a pleasure to read and worthy of rereading.
Great Deal
