內容簡介
內容簡介 《紐約時報》暢銷書「生活困頓卻能活得真誠,並且找到快樂的實用指南...,本書充滿了出人意表卻又極富道理的建議,令人讀之愉悅,且值得一讀再讀,是心靈自助書類的標竿。」--《柯克斯評論》(Kirkus Reviews)在這本定義世代的自助指南中,部落格界的超級巨星Mark Manson告訴我們,活得更快樂的關鍵在於,不要再嘗試一直保持"樂觀",而是要更懂得處理各種多變的情況。多年來,我們一直被教導,正面思考是通向快樂、富有生活的鑰匙。但是那樣的日子已經結束了。「要正面地咒罵」Mark Manson說:「讓我們面對現實吧!有時候事情就是糟透了,我們不得不與之共處。」過去幾年,Manson透過他大受歡迎的部落格,糾正人們對自己還有世界的錯覺式期待。現在他以這本開創新局的書帶給讀者他所奮力得來的智慧。Manson根據學術研究與適時的笑話來提出論點:改善我們的生活並非取決於我們把檸檬變成檸檬汁的能力,而是學著把我們的胃打造成更能忍受檸檬酸度的環境。人類會犯錯也有侷限性,他說:「不是每個人都很傑出,社會上有勝利者也有失敗者,有些情況並不公平,也或者並非你的錯。」Manson建議我們,應該理解並且接受我們本身的侷限,我們才能真正握有權力與自主。一旦我們擁抱恐懼、錯誤與不確定性,不再逃避,而是開始面對痛苦的現實,我們才能開始發現極力尋找的勇氣與信心。「在生活中,我們有苦水要吐,所以你得聰明地選擇你要抱怨的事。」Manson以好笑的故事、褻瀆神聖的語言與冷酷的幽默,為你帶來現實真正需要的建議。Manson的宣言,就像正面摑了我們一巴掌,讓我們覺醒,並開始過著更知足而切實際的生活。In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let s-all-feel-good mindset that has infectedmodern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited "not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives."
