The Subtle Art of Not giving a F**k: Micro review
Here is my first read of the year… For those of you who know me knows that I am not the one for profanity. So this book was an interesting read with 50 f bombs on every page :)
But I was able to look past that and I will still highly recommend the book !!!
Also, it’s the perfect time to read it as you are firming up your 2019 resolutions !!! The book is part philosophy, part self help and Mark Manson truly surprised me many places with very apt insights that just resonated on reflection and were right in front of my nose :) The book teaches you how to ONLY give a f* about and focus on what is true, immediate and important.
Here are some pearls:
“The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.”
“Happiness comes from solving problems.
Solution lies in acceptance and active engagement of the negative experiences”
“Who you are is defined by what you are willing to struggle for.”
“Action isn’t just the effect of motivation; it’s also the cause of it”
