The Art of Not Giving a F Book Review

Marking Manson's bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fck is brilliant. Catch it. Read it. Remember most it. Y'all'll exist happy – & successful.

If I Had a Penny…

If I had a penny for every time I've said to myself while reading this book, "If only I knew this when I was twenty!"

…then I'd have enough coin to buy you – and everyone who reads this book review – a re-create of "The Subtle Art of Non Giving a F*ck!"

I'thou  barely halfway through the book, just already rate it 5-stars.  That'south because, fifty-fifty if the remainder of it is just 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amet' junk you lot see filling up content templates, I'd accept notwithstanding got more than value from it than whatever other book I've read this year… or even last year.

(Update: That was when I wrote this review. At present that I've finished reading Mark Manson's book, nothing about that opinion has changed!)

A teenager or young adult should catch it off the shelf. Devour it in one sitting. Think nearly it for the adjacent 20 years. And will so realize how well their life turned out!

And while a middle-age reader may not find anything "new" in information technology, the powerful, engaging and effective way Marking Manson makes his points and drives home his messages all the same makes it worth a read.

That, and the twist in his tales that make what you learn from them almost impossible to forget!

Take this story I read today morning…

"In 1983, a talented young guitarist was kicked out of his band. They were about to record their kickoff anthology. Simply a couple days earlier recording began, the band showed the guitarist the door. As he sabbatum on the bus dorsum to Los Angeles from New York, the guitarist kept request himself: How did this happen? What did I practise wrong? What volition I do now? Record contracts didn't exactly autumn out of the sky. Had he missed his one and only shot?

But past the time the bus hit 50.A., the guitarist had vowed to start a new ring. He decided that this new ring would exist and so successful that his erstwhile band would forever regret their decision.

He would become so famous that they would be subjected to decades of seeing him on Television, hearing him on the radio, seeing posters of him in the streets and pictures of him in magazines. He'd bathe in the tears of his betrayers, each tear wiped dry by a crisp, clean hundred-dollar beak.

And so the guitarist worked as if possessed by a musical demon. He spent months recruiting the best musicians. He wrote dozens of songs and proficient religiously. His seething anger fueled his appetite; revenge became his muse.

Inside a couple years, his new band had signed a record deal of their own, and a year subsequently that, their first record would go gold. The guitarist'south name was Dave Mustaine, and the new band he formed was the legendary heavy-metal band Megadeth. Megadeth would continue to sell over 25 1000000 albums and bout the world many times over. Today, Mustaine is considered one of the most brilliant and influential musicians in the history of heavy-metal music."

At this point, I'm most jumping out of my chair, fist-pumping the air, getting goose-bumps at this "against all odds" saga – which brings back memories of how, as a much younger human, I besides had let revenge be my rocket-fuel (until grey hair and the attendant wisdom taught me its folly).

But the story hasn't ended.

When information technology does, it's with this powerful twist…

"Unfortunately, the band he was kicked out of was Metallica, which has sold over 180 meg albums worldwide. Metallica is considered by many to be i of the greatest rock bands of all time. And because of this, in a rare intimate interview in 2003, a tearful Mustaine admitted that he couldn't help but still consider himself a failure. Despite all that he had accomplished, in his mind he would e'er be the guy who got kicked out of Metallica."

And if you're a typical reader (similar me), you'll get…

"What? A guy with millions of dollars, tens of thousands of fans, who's doing what he loves, feels similar he'due south a FAILURE?!"

Why the F*CK would he?

But Marking Manson doesn't answer your question.

Instead he tells you a second story – of another rockstar named Pete Best, who was thrown out of a ring just equally famous as Metallica… and who, years later, said:

"I'm happier than I would accept been with the band."

What. The. F*CK?!

And simply at present, when you're in that malleable state of mind, does Manson slip in a nuclear-powered message – one that'll transform you.

This happens dozens of times. Which is why I recommend that you read "The Subtle Art of Non Giving a F*ck" now.

At present, look… this isn't the correct book for anybody.

If you lot're the kind of shrinking wallflower who turns beet cherry-red and shuffles your feet when you hear the dirty little four-letter F-discussion (yes, the exact same one that'due south in the volume'due south title), so you'll squirm through all of its 224-pages.

But if you lot tin can will yourself to ignore that and focus instead on the piddling nuggets of wisdom strewn throughout it, you'll exist the big winner.

So go ahead and pick up a copy of 'The Subtle Art of Non Giving a F*ck'. The Kindle edition is here, but you can also order a print copy from Amazon here.

If you read this book and don't detect yourself thinking differently about at least some attribute of your life, I'll purchase your next cheeseburger – or paneer tikka masala!
