Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope
by Mark Manson
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.
