Harper Collins India The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck A Counterintuitive Approach To Living A Good Life Paperback – 30 January 2017

Favorite Quote: “Who you are is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for.”This book isn’t a typical self-help book—it’s like getting life advice from a brutally honest friend over drinks. Instead of telling you to “think positive,” Manson argues that life is hard, pain is inevitable, and the key to happiness is choosing what to care about.For me one of the book’s best moments is the story of Charles Bukowski, a lifelong failure who only found success when he stopped trying to be someone he wasn’t. Now that’s the core message: stop obsessing over being extraordinary and focus on what actually matters to you.The book is packed with humor, real talk, and hard-hitting truths. Author doesn’t sugarcoat anything—he reminds you that failure isn’t the enemy, suffering isn’t avoidable, and not everything deserves your attention.That said, the excessive profanity might feel a little overdone, and the advice leans more philosophical than practical.Still, if you’re tired of traditional self-help fluff, this book is like a wake-up call. It won’t teach you how to be rich or famous, but it might just help you stop stressing over things that don’t matter.

This book offers a refreshingly straightforward and realistic take on personal development. Unlike many self-help books that present overly optimistic perspectives, this one delivers honest and practical insights, making it stand out.The author challenges conventional ideas about happiness and encourages readers to accept and navigate life’s challenges. The concept of focusing on what truly matters, rather than spreading oneself too thin, is both empowering and practical. The conversational tone and humor make the book engaging, though at times the casual language may feel overemphasized.The anecdotes and examples are relatable and effectively highlight the importance of prioritizing meaningful values. However, readers seeking a structured, step-by-step approach might find the book’s philosophical tone less directive.Overall, it’s an excellent choice for those looking for a realistic and thought-provoking perspective on leading a fulfilling life. It’s worth exploring, even if self-help books are not your usual preference!

Amazing book very informative..

A life changing item completely worthy of every single penny

I'll be honest, I ordered the book on 10th October 2022 and I only started reading this book on 26th June 2024.I initially ordered the book on a casual basis I kinda wanted to change but I lacked the conviction so I just read one or two pages and stopped (Boy was I sooo wrong).The past few months have been rough, things haven't been pleasant (due to my own doings).Lowkey felt depressed but this time I've decided to change for good (I'm still improving and I've made some changes which I hope work out in the long term).All that aside (The backstory was needed because it was relevant to the change the book is and will bring about me) let's talk about the book now,Firstly I can't emphasize how good and engaging this book is, Mark is an excellent author and has a keen eye for people (and their behaviours). The book feels more like reading a novel instead of a self help book (in case you feel they're too mundane and boring), filled with a lot of relevant examples to the topic being discussed.This book was a mirror to my inner self it confronted me with things about myself I didn't know, as well as things I always knew but chose to ignore and neglect. It makes you ponder your choices, your behaviours everything that makes you ''You".The initial chapters of the book were depressing me more than motivating me but as I read through more chapters and changed a few of my habits, I realized that the reason for not liking the earlier chapters were because they highlighted and brought out the bad values in front of me.Something I don't think I would've even thought about doing or changing. It's teaching me how to tackle my own problems and the past few days have genuinely felt good.I know it's kind of a long review but I can't stress enough how a good of a book this is doesn't matter whether you are old, young, successful or not or whatever stage of life you're in, this book will most Definitely help you.After I complete this I'm definitely willing to buy other books from Mark.
