New York Times Bestseller “Just because everything appears to be a mess doesn’t mean you have to be one. Mark Manson’s book is a call to arms for a better life and better world and could not be more needed right now.” — Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness. What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck , a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries. In Everthing Is F*cked , Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself. With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

Highly recommended read
Cheaper than in bookstores so great value for money. I felt like Manson had controversial opinions about religion and politics so it may not be for everyone. However, the book is really about how to motivate you to live your everyday life. It also gave me a lot of revelations about myself. Highly recommended read

Highly recommended, not for the masses though.
Absolutely amazed by this books content. It outlines the importance of the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, Rene Descartes, and Nietzsche among others. But it's not a book for the masses. It is for those who have at least already secured them self in the past in the financial domain. Because if you don't have money to take care of your daily life, it is but hopeless to talk about philosophy. However, how to live an ideal life through moral and personal ethics is excellently explained in the book, and the fact that it can and will lead to personal fulfillment and satisfaction at a very deep level is beyond doubt. As rightly pointed out in the book, if you want to compare Kant's thinking brain with ours, his thinking brain must have had biceps. Most of us (if not all) are guided by our feeling brain. And that's where the author has successfully driven his point. Most of our problems are emotional (feeling brain is in the driver's seat, while the thinking brain is in the passenger seat), and we take decisions in life based on the emotions that the situations in life generates. Kant was the exception. The author has succeeded in outlining his own personal philosophy of life, a large share of which are a mix of Kant's philosophy and those of others (Nietzsche etc). I enjoyed the book from the beginning till the end. The best part is that the author is not dictating what the reader should do. He has let it for the reader to decide. Mark has on the other hand described in detail the importance of values and how it maneuvers the dynamics of the society and people in the world in general. It is a book about psychology and a lot of research has gone into the writing of it. The last portion of the book is about artificial intelligence (AI) and the proclamation that it is going to be the final religion. This book is highly recommended to all avid readers with an exploring mind, who really wants to go deep down the rabbit hole to seek out the fundamentals that govern the dynamics of life we are living at present. Lot of humour fill the book, the writer never stops entertaining even when the issue is deeply philosophical. Lot of love and respect to M. Manson for taking this bold step with writing EiF.

Not what I was expecting, but a hard truth that we can't ignore.
I was stoked about this book and my expectations were not met at ALL! I did expect an intelligent read, and I did get that. I had 'hoped' it would give me more hope, and that is not the message at all. After you read the book, you understand how the title and sub title actually do mean the same thing. Compared to Mark Manson's first book, The Subtle Art..., this read is a lot more theoretical with less personal view on the world. His thoughts to the issue are EXACTLY what our society needs at this time. The read was a lot more intense and for sure not a quick one. There is so much to take in and I know even after completing it, I will find myself referring back to sections many times in the future so I can make choices in my life while knowing and understanding how the human psyche works. The various concerns about the cover title and the use of vulgaritiy - I was never worried about it, though this book isn't a flush with it as was his first book. His intention for shocking language is used to shock the reader to really grasp the intensity of the realities we face. A great read and I encourage anyone who finds they reach their goals and never finds the happiness they expect with it will learn to understand why that is. Well done Mark. I appreciate the effort and message you have stretched your neck out to share.
