Everything is F*cked

From the author of the international mega bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope We live in an interesting time Materially, everything is the best it s ever been we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f cked the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.What s going on If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it s Mark Manson In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever present, low level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn t and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier Instead, the subtle art of that title turned out to be a bold challenge to choose your struggle to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the 1 bestseller in 13 different countries.Now, in Everthing Is F cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom and even of hope itself.With his usual mix of erudition and where the f ck did that come from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to behonest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven t considered before It s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

overarching story of the book, it feltlike a jumbled collection of articles Just couldn t connect to it in any meaningful wayJust as good as the first, a littlebroad but still asks the reader to question themselves.Mandatory reading if you want to break your conditioning.
