giselamr4 's review for:

1.0

I would’ve given this at least 2 stars if he didn’t go off on a complete rant about how AI is going to take over the world in the last chapter (and how that could be a great thing for humanity?)

Overall, I think this book was much weaker and less interesting than Manson’s first, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. This one felt more like a list of shit that is wrong with our world and the reasons it won’t get better.

The two main points Manson tries (and in my opinion kinda fails) to make are:

1. All I know is that I know nothing
2. Be a good human - nothing else really matters in the end

And while I can get down with a “do the right thing” message in nonfiction books, this one felt like it told me to do that in a way that was aggressive, uninteresting and honestly, depressing. It’s a skip for me.
