內容簡介
內容簡介 The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck《管他的: 愈在意愈不開心》作者馬克．曼森最新著作！我們生活在一個很弔詭的年代。跟以前比起來，世界變得相當美好：我們更自由、更健康、更有錢。但同時，卻也覺得生活越來越無力、糟糕：地球持續暖化、國家運作失常、經濟不斷崩壞，FB上總是充滿仇恨謾罵...。現在的我們擁有前人無法想像的科技和教育，理論上這些應該會為我們帶來更快速和緊密的連結。但結果卻相反。人們彼此之間變得越來越疏離、無助。到底發生了什麼事？《管他的: 愈在意愈不開心》作者Mark Manson為讀者們分析現狀，並想辦法幫忙解決問題。在前作中，作者將重點放在現代生活中隱隱約約、卻無止盡的焦慮上。點出現代科技多麼容易讓人們去關注在根本就不重要的事情上：網路世界會讓我們誤以為整個世界都欠我們的，但其實根本沒有。面對近年追求自我的風潮，帶動眾人汲汲營營追求快樂。如此反而讓人陷入更深的不快樂之中。此書打中無數人的心聲，被翻譯成10幾國語言、全球熱銷數百萬冊。Mark Manson如今推出新書《Everthing Is F*cked》。並將重點從個人問題，轉到周邊整個世界。他重新分析金錢、娛樂和網路如何消耗我們的生活和心靈。並公然挑戰對於信念、快樂、自由、甚至是希望的定義。書中維持作者一貫風格：博學，卻直接坦白。幫助讀者們誠實直視自己，並換一種方式來理解世界。From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself.With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come."
