The subtle art of not giving a f*ck (Harper Collins Publishers)

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F++k is a self-help book aimed squarely at the millennial crowd, the ones who got gold medals for coming ninth in the running races. It posits that there are a limited number of fucks to give, so we better work out which ones we care about.The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F++k - profane, direct, funny-is a response to the orgy of delusional positive thinking that goes on, both within the personal development industry and American culture at large.

Manson's book makes the argument, backed both aby academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that our ability to improve our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but rather on our ability to learn how to stomach lemons better.
