I’ve had this book in my Apple Library since high school and still can’t get through it.

This is an outstanding book if you can actually be honest with yourself. People who complained about the F-word clearly didn’t read the title of the book.

I enjoyed this book, it was definitely an awesome read.

My litmus test for anyone is if they walk their talk. MM had the experience that created all his “claims”. They couldn’t have been born of anything else. The respect I have for you is rare and enormous. Thank you for this inspirational, empowering, heartfelt, raw, gritty, authentic, passionate, humane book.

This book encourages a practical and realistic approach to life. The author effectively engages readers throughout, offering valuable lessons, especially for young people, on how to live a balanced life. Mark Manson teaches us to let go of trivial concerns that often consume our attention, emphasizing the importance of focusing on what truly matters. This shift in perspective is particularly relevant for teenagers who may dream of a life filled with luxury and ease. Manson argues that true happiness doesn’t come from avoiding problems, but from facing and solving them. He suggests that if you're willing to endure the pain associated with achieving genuine happiness, you can find it. Many people want things according to their own priorities but are unwilling to go through the necessary effort to achieve them. The book encourages confronting what we often try to avoid, whether it's failure or difficult situations. Through personal anecdotes, the author illustrates how struggles and challenges give life greater meaning, offering a more fulfilling approach than the pursuit of constant happiness. At times, the book felt a bit contradictory. For example, the author initially advises being indifferent and comfortable with discomfort, but later encourages pushing through pain to achieve goals. Similarly, he states that you're not special, only to later tell readers that they are amazing, even if they're living in difficult circumstances. Despite these inconsistencies, the book offers valuable insights and I truly think it was worth reading.

Great book .. must read

This was the self help book I never knew I needed. Each chapter gave me prompts for journal entries. There are so many questions that I never thought to ask myself that this book reveals. The only thing I would say is that I wish he would have gone into a little more detail on some topics. Overall I loved this book and I highly recommend it.

I never review things, but this needs to be said. This reeks of r/iamverysmart. This guy quotes freud without irony. Tasteless boring analogies. Okay philosophy but wish someone with actual perspective wrote this book, not Dude Who Got Broken Up with and Started Going to the Gym. Borrows stories from the news page of Snapchat to make a radical hot take you saw your uncle post last week on Facebook. Wish i could get a refund.

The idea for this book is great and the title is a great attention grabber. However, anything the author wants to say is lost when I spend my energy reading the F word in every other sentence. Not creative or professional therefore not worth my time reading.

This book is absolutely amazing and had showed me how immature I have been. Thank you Mark Mason.
