About the Summary

Our society holds to the notion that if we never give up and we persist in striving to achieve our dreams, we will eventually succeed. Part and parcel to that value system is a borderline obsession with maintaining “unrealistic positive expectations.” Above all else, we should strive to be better, happier, faster, richer, sexier, and smarter. In The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, blogger and author Mark Manson categorically rejects these ideas. The book highlights Manson’s way of thinking, that in order to be all that we can be, we have to accept who we are and honestly project that authentic person to the world.
