I do not agree with everything that’s written in this book. There are certain things I really was surprised by. Still, it’s probably one of the best books I’ve ever read in this category and I wish I’ve read it earlier in my life.

Talks about a lot of uncomfortable or unfortunate situations as examples for ways to change life. They are brief for the most part but are covered and may be unsuitable for some peopleessentialnpc's review against another edition

Somewhere around 40% through, it just didn't seem to be as interesting. By then, the novelty of cussing in a self-help book wore off, and it was harder to pay attention to the ranting. One thing though: the author does make excellent use of anecdotes, save for the
I must say, the final chapter did really wrap up nicely. Not because it was almost over, but because the author wrote about the topic in a way that one could tell was highly personal and with depth. Though the final chapter didn't make up for the other 40% that didn't land well with me, it was a somewhat satisfying end to the book.
Overall, I wouldn't reread or recommend this book, personally. Despite the hype and recommendations I received in regards to this book, it didn't live up to it.

hilarious and actually genuine, this book is packed with truthful advice and helpful anecdotes about how to deal with life and all of the stupid shit that worries us way too much on a day-to-day basis.
and if you're thinking: "my life is going great, i don't need a self-help book" then you're 1) probably not even reading this, and 2) very wrong. this one is for everyone, not only for the depressed, the sad, the hopeless. this book is for everyone, because it talks about how we as humans and individuals can become better at dealing with our bullshit and start giving less fucks about unimportant, time-consuming subjects.
everyone should read this book. end of story.
