About the book: 2017 / Modern society promotes the cult of success: be smarter, richer, more productive - be the best. Social networks are replete with stories about how some kid came up with an app and made a lot of money, articles in the spirit of “A Thousand and One Ways to Be Happy,” and photos in the friend feed create the impression that those around us live better and more interesting lives than we do. However, our fixation on positivity and success only reminds us of what we have not achieved, of dreams that have not come true. How to become truly happy? Popular blogger Mark Manson offers his own, original approach to this issue. His life philosophy is simple - you need to learn the art of not giving a damn. Having determined what you really care about, you need to be able to give a damn about everything that is not important, forget about difficulties, say to hell with other people's opinions and be ready to face failures and show them the middle finger. In his witty book, which instantly became a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon, through stories of life's troubles, failures and screw-ups (both his own and those of famous people), the author tells how to master this subtle art of not giving a damn, why you need to be less self-confident and what the principle “Do something” is a great motivation. This book will help you live easily despite all difficulties, worry less and enjoy life.
