The Subtle Are of Not Giving a F*** by Mark Manson was not a good choice for me. I get his message, I think, but he has a horrible way of telling it. If you don't like reading the F word A LOT, then don't bother reading this. He can't seem to stop using it. Apparently, he has few words in his vocabulary. He's trying to tell you not to care about the things in life that don't really matter, but he goes about it in a way that made me feel like I was in front of my doctor and she was telling me I have cancer and only 6 weeks to live while blowing cigarette smoke in my face and texting on her cell phone. Maybe I felt that way because I listened to the audiobook and the author was not the reader. It could be that the reader didn't read it the way the author intended. It's hard to say that though with the number of F bombs that were dropped. If you're thinking of reading this book, just tell yourself that it doesn't matter how much money everyone else has. It doesn't matter what car everyone else drives. Material things don't really matter. What matters are the things and activities that make me happy in life. Then, you'll save yourself the trouble of being cursed at for an entire book. I give this book a 1 out of 5 stars... not sure I even want to give it that, but the message is there if you sort through it all.
