1 About this book
In this book, blogger and former internet entrepreneur Mark Manson explains in simple, no expletives barred terms how to achieve happiness by caring more about fewer things and not caring at all about more.
He explains how the metrics we use to define ourselves may be the very things holding us back. By redefining our metrics, questioning ourselves and doubting everything, we may be able to find that we're better off than we think, and thereby become happier people.
- Personal growth
- Conduct of life
2 What to expect
A blunt, funny self-help book that argues against forced positivity: choose carefully what to care about, and accept that some pain comes with anything worthwhile. Conversational and full of personal stories, with plenty of strong language.
Good for readers who want: no-nonsense self-help, humor, and a quick read.
