Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope
by Mark Manson
I enjoyed this book a bit more than his first book and I've become to truly appreciate this authors style. Mark Mason covers a lot of different topics in this book and touches upon various ideas, but he somehow magically connects it in an harmonious way. A few takeaways from this book include, but not limited to include the following:
1.The rational mind is not capable of making the best decisions. You need to appeal to both the Thinking Brain and the Feeling Brain to make better decisions in the present.
2. Accepting life’s truths and following principles is better than hoping or creating belief systems. Nietzsche asked us to look beyond good and evil to accept the uncomfortable truths about life, such as insignificance and death. He called this embrace-the-void approach “Amor Fati,” which means “love one’s fate.”
3. The pursuit of happiness leads to more depression and anxiety. True freedom and happiness come when your well-being is not dependent on the comfort that comes from emerging products and services.
