This book was an interesting but frustrating read. Mark Manson dives into psychology, philosophy, and human nature with his usual bluntness and dark humor, which will either pull you in or push you away. While some parts felt repetitive or overly cynical, it did make me rethink the way I see the world--not in a depressing way, just more realistically. It's not the kind of self-help book that leaves you feeling inspired, but it does challenge your perspective. Overall, it was a solid three-star read for me, and while I didn't love everything about it, I'll still check out more of Manson's work.

Not always fond of writing style, but content was provocative.

I’m unable to summarize the book for actually give you a main point, the thesis or any unique ideas I walked away with….so I guess I was pretty bored reading it and didn’t actually absorb any of it

Very boring - not nearly as good as his first one, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F@#k.

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

Not sure what it was about this… I read his last book and thought it was fine but with this one I couldn’t make any connections between the ideas nor to the title of the book.  Being audio it was just words coming at me, in men ear and out the other 🤷🏻‍♀️

The content of this book is extremely psychological, instead of being self-help. Mark Manson is a good author and and most of his ideologies are commendable, and should be followed, but on the contrary, this book is extremely extremely offensive. If you have guts, then you can go ahead with this, Gandhi, but I didn’t like it personally.
