For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives. Review: Great Read love the author - Awesome book especially if you’re trying to not give a F about what other people think about you great author. Review: Pursue the Negative to get the Positive! - (listened on Audible, and read the book) First, I am 43 years old. I found this book as one of the best in my collection of learning. (Napoleon Hill, Tony Robbins, Don Ruiz, David Brooks, Steven Covey). This book is another excellent asepct to learning about self awareness, values, entitlement, responsiblity, choice, and death. Also has a great understanding through his life experiences and a lot I can relate. I was skeptical about the name of the book and bought this book thinking it was about a 'who cares mentalility' and not caring. After reading it, realized t approaches ithe opposite then most self help books. Its unorhtodox in using the language in ways that create a different perspective. So, why the negative reviews? well lets state what the book says it is: "learning how to focus and prioritzie your thoughts effectively-- how to pick and choose what matters to you and what does not matter to you based on finely honed personal values." I suspect a lot of people were offended perhaps because they experienced the negative and want to blame the book for their not getting it when they got older? Life is a lesson, always. This book is a good one to get if you are young, but great if you have a teenager or nephew or family member whom you want to understand or reach. why? You learn to understand how to communicate. Note: it's not always about you. "the desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience." A lot of people whom review this book I have noticed are stuck in the 'i want it my way' and not seeing the forest for the trees. Maybe not everything is relevant to you, but then what is? its about seeing outside yourself and not being so self centered. Foundations of understanding and not knowing is a good way to help others and understand others. Too many people think they know. forget knowing, and understand. Chapter titles are decieving and offensive to those whom might have a aversion to direct offensive approaches. If you don't like them, then well, read another book. Don't take a book by its cover they say. Well don't think you KNOW by reading the chapter titles. 1. Don't Try 2. Happiness is a problem 3. You Are Not Special 4. The Value of Suffering 5. You are Always Choosing 6. You're Wrong About Everything 7. Failure Is the Way Forward 8. The Importance of Saying No 9. . . . And Then You Die "Conflict is not only normal, then; it's absolutely necessary for the maintence of a healthy relationship." Enjoy! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #211 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Happiness Self-Help #2 in Motivational Self-Help (Books) #2 in Success Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 160,608 Reviews | ## Images ![The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QKQ9mwV7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read love the author *by L***S on May 20, 2026* Awesome book especially if you’re trying to not give a F about what other people think about you great author. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pursue the Negative to get the Positive! *by T***S on February 12, 2019* (listened on Audible, and read the book) First, I am 43 years old.

Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is scary *by G***E on September 19, 2016* This is one of the best books I have ever read. The information that is in the book is to scary and at the same way helpful. In the middle of reading this book I felt like, then what is the point on living? Why just don't die if we are going to do it anyways. I started to feel strange inside of me. I was scared because everything he writes about Is true. We all try to hard on impressing people. Try hard to make big goals and try to achieve them. But in the end we do it not for ourselfs we do it for the attention we will get in the result for that. We are not special, but in the same time we are. We are all unique bit not more special than the others. We live our life trying to be "successful" and convince ourself that it is because we want it for us. But in some cases we are not. We (and when I mean "we" I mean myself) try so much to achieve goals working hard everyday trying to come closer to that goal. But when I readed this book my eyes opened. I was wrong. I was not doing it for myself. I was doing it to prove others I am worth of their attention. Because I wanted to feel special because yeah. I always said to myself "nobody work hard enough for success so I am special I work harder than the others and that is why i deserve it more". I was every day working hard, I did not want to accept it but when I readed this book it really hurted me. I felt like he was 100% seeing through me. I felt like my life was pointless. All I did, the goals I was pursuing was only to make other think in the future. "Wow he is special. He worked hard to obtaining he's goals. He is inspiring". I wanted to show the people that made me feel bad about myself see me in the future and look up on me and say to themselves. "Well I think I am the real loser". But in this book I began to think. I was always looking at other people judging them about being at their 30-40 having a s***ty job, family, complaining about everyone and everything etc. Or the ones on my ages always working hard, making fools of themselves trying to get the attention of others. Or people screaming at others just to feel like they are better than the other person. I always felt sorry about them. When reading this book I realised I am exactly at them. We live our whole life trying to be somebody. When the real thing we should do is try to be the person we want to be. But it is not easy. The society always look up to successes and winners but never at the ones that are not that "successful" but are happy. And that make us all feel like we are not enough. Which we think is true. We give fu*ks about so many things that are not really important and that does not mean anything at all. The fact that we are going to die is terrifying. Not because we don't know what comes next, it's because, we thing yeah if we all will die then what is the point of trying? That's the reason this book is good it does not just make you unsure about all your beliefs. It also makes you realise that it does not mather at all if you are going to die. The real problem is what you should care about while you are alive. The old lady crossing the road in the pace of a turtle. Or the really fact that we are alive and are able to choose what we want to care about. Why did i writte a so long post? Well because if this can help somebody in my situation it will be nice. And the other reason was for myself. Because even if I say I don't care I actually care about what others think about me, and even if you don't know me in person. Knowing someone readed this and got the inspiration to read the book then it's enough for me. To feel like I did something good. And the third reason is because I liked the super hero "Disappointed Panda". He is cool and I would like a hero like that. Instead of the false super heroes that lies to others just to get liked by them. So this is an executive book. It gives a new way to look at things. I really recomend it for the people that are tired of this world and the humans on it, and even worst that tries way to hard to imprese those humans you hate, because you were told that is the right way to fulfill yourself. "You should do like the rest",they said. It does not help in the long run. It have never and will never! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life - Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones - The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/33144819-the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ck-counterintuitive](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/33144819-the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ck-counterintuitive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
