About this listen

From the author of the international mega-best-seller 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 number-one best seller 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.

Great listen, it’s a little bit on the wordy side and overly opinionated but who isn’t?

I found the first 1/3 of this book extremely negative and depressing however the middle was pretty good and then last third was amazing. Overall it was a pretty good book.

Good book

First off, if you do not like the F word, this may not be the best choice for you. The book reads more like a collection of short stories, and the writing itself is not particularly strong. That being said, I did enjoy some of the educational points, especially his appreciation for Science, though he controversially refers to Science as a religion.

There is some validity and logic in his arguments, but it can be difficult to sift through it all because of the repetitive and often mundane writing style.

Don't prioritize this as a read

I loved the first book, and rated it 5 stars, so I immediately bought this book expecting the same level of sarcasm and honesty. Firstly, the previous narration was much better. Mark's real voice takes time getting used to. I personally found his voice annoying as hell, but that's probably just my algorithm associating his voice with someone from my past (bias) who I found annoying. anyways, the book is interesting and had some good points, but it leaves you feeling absolutely depressed about the future. it's a book about hope that leaves you feeling hopeless about the future of everything. if you feel like being depressed after listening, then go ahead and give it a shot.

This book made me feel hopeless about everything..
