Muy bueno. Lo escuché después de haber escuchado the subtle art of not giving a fuck.
Usa ideas de Harari, Frankl y de Pinker que ya conocía le agrega una pizca de fast and slow brain (que no he leído). Usa ideas de Kant y Nietszche (que tampoco conozco a profundidad) y en general habla del estoicismo.
Todos los libros que tratan del dilema humano son muy interesantes para mí, quizá pueda poner a este libro en uno de los mejores que he leído este año. Es muy esclarecedor el tema de que por biología siempre los seres humanos serán pesimistas, y que aunque tengas absolutamente todo, serás infeliz por nimiedades.
La parte sobre los valores y sobre el cerebro emocional es muy buena, así como el típico "el dolor siempre es presente, el sufrimiento es opcional".
El último capítulo habla sobre inteligencia artificial y es muy especulativo, nunca me he fiado de los que predicen el futuro, fue lo único que no me gustó (¿tendrá acaso una pizca de miedo?)
Está escrito de forma muy amena, como si estuvieras teniendo una conversación con un amigo. Ahora es un poco menos irreverente que en el libro previo, pero sigue siendo una lectura muy sencilla.
Es de esos pocos libros que quisiera que todos mis amigos leyeran. No sé, siento que entre más información tengamos sobre las razones por las que actuamos como actuamos, sufriríamos menos.

Definitely some well-founded points that are reasonably thought out and put together cohesively to reach important thoughtful conclusions; also that thing where white men dig their heels into a libertarian/centrist ideology of struggle-makes-you-stronger-THUS-struggle-is-good, and some kids-these-days spiraling, and a good deal of oversimplifications to breeze by logic that doesn't fit his narrative in the disguise of humor.
Ugh I've read(listened to) two of this man's books and I can say I don't get the hype. I found this one more tolerable and interesting, but a lot of it I had heard before. So it being repackaged with "cool relatable talk" aka swearing and speaking casually with his own narrating voice thinking he's cooler than he is did not make for a good listening experience. Other reviews will say that his writing is radical or offensive....and full offense that is absolute bull.
I cannot accept this horrible writing. Sexism permeates the book with positive examples of a person have male pronouns and negative examples of a person having female pronouns (which of course I expect from a "former dating coach"). He also takes time to say how the right and left are both good and bad and so the logical point is the middle. His argument about the left and neoliberalism starts to step into right wing stereotypes of the left (like talking about fictional neo-marxists). His contention that we will always "find" things to be outraged or oppressed by completely overlooks the struggles of everyone that isn't his white cisgender heterosexual self.

DNF — I really enjoyed The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*… so I was really disappointed I had so much trouble getting into this. The tone felt gimmicky and the concepts seemed oversimplified.
Didn't like the sections in the book that spoke to the reader as if we were children. Hard to reconcile that approach with the topics covered as well. This tendency was not as prevalent in the latter half of the book.

First half was a smooth read. The second half was a struggle to finish.
I absolutely loved this book, possibly better than his first book. His obscure history references combined with modern anedotes makes his books enthralling to read. He brings up many social issues in a non-threatening way, and provides excellent discussion topics. If my Psych professors would have been entertaining while teaching me about the human mind, maybe university would have been more pleasant. 10/10; highly recommend.
It’s a philosophy work with a catchy name to attract your attention. I listened to it on Audible, actually, and I liked it.
It’s about who we are, what we up to and how to deal with it. A very important questions, especially in the nowadays when the influence of the religion weakened and people stand before the “uncomfortable truth” Mark talks about in his book. Trying to escape it we are using different opportunities and hiding corners that ruin our lives and mostly we don’t understand it, keeping things like ok, then it’s not. I think it’s worth to read, stimulate your thinking on The Who you are topic, it may be scary, but it may help you to fix tour life as well.
Everything is fucked, deal with it.
