Story
In Everthing Is F*cked, Mark 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.

Story
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson 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*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

No matter how much advice we get or how much work we do on our “stuff”, nothing ever seems to make the difference. The truth of it is, you’re woefully ill-equipped for one of the most life-defining things you will ever take on - being in a committed relationship. Whether you’re currently in one, want to be in one, half in-half out, getting over one, married, single, separated, divorced, or just overwhelmed with the whole thing, let’s cut through the morass of relationship schtick and put you back in charge.

Publisher's Summary
Best-selling author Mark Manson brings his signature no-nonsense wisdom back to the subject he started his career covering: relationships. Being with your partner may feel like rainbows and unicorns, but that doesn't mean you have a healthy, functioning relationship. Sure, we all need love...but love is not enough.
In Love Is Not Enough, Mark’s first Audible Original, you’ll follow five real people over the course of six months as they navigate f--ked up romantic situations, ranging from dating app addiction to marital affairs to absurd fantasies. At regular intervals, they check in with Mark, share their stories, and soak up some advice. As you listen to these candid, funny, and moving conversations, you’ll learn how to stand up for yourself when you feel the most vulnerable. You'll learn how our imaginations derail intimacy, how our deepest desires can lead us into trouble. You'll learn how to open yourself up, and you'll develop the courage to say and hear that necessary word, "no." You'll learn how to love. And you'll learn that love is not enough.

About the Creator
Mark Manson is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life, the mega-bestseller that reached #1 in fourteen different countries. Mark’s books have been translated into more than 50 languages and have sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Mark runs one of the largest personal growth websites in the world, MarkManson.net, a blog with more than two million monthly readers and half a million subscribers, making him one of the largest and most successful independent publishers in the world. His writing is often described as ‘self-help for people who hate self-help’—a no-BS brand of life advice and cultural commentary that has struck a chord with people around the globe. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine, Forbes, Vice, CNN, and Vox, among many others. He currently lives in New York City.
The subtle art of giving a F*** about your love life
From the man who practically invented the swear-word-laden book title comes a decidedly unbookish release dedicated to helping people make better choices about their love lives. What results feels like an “if they mated” love child of the best relationship advice columns and self-dev podcasts. Love is Not Enough comes to life as Manson works through real-life romantic (and not-so-romantic) quandaries with people ranging from a serial-Tinder-dater to a twice-divorced intimacy-phobe to someone in a three-year affair with a man she met at work. I’d be lying if I said that voyeurism wasn’t part of the appeal of this listen—which allows you to be a fly on the wall during these very candid conversations—but sprinkled throughout are Mark’s on-point observations and subtle (!) instructions on how not to f-up your life by making bad decisions about who to pair off with.

Nothing Deep/Useful
The author repeatedly says he’s not an expert or therapist but continually diagnoses the five subjects.
I didn’t learn anything new from listening to this book.
The material discussed in this book is very surface level and the author doesn’t expand on why his recommendations are useful.
Don’t waste your time. Pick a better book.

Must Listen for those with relationship issues
The audiobook is fun and easy to listen. Tons of laughs. Full of real people's stories.
Mark touched a few important issues in relationships in a form of interviews. When you hear it from real life examples, it really helps put things in perspective. I've been searching and reading other books covering these issues but nothing resonates with me as much as this audiobook. I came out a different person after I finished this audiobook. Thank you Mark.

Relatable, real stories.
This is the 3rd book of Mark Manson’s that I’ve “read” - this one being an audio only version. Hearing the first hand account of the 5 people he interviews over a span of time adds to the authenticity of their stories.
Mark Manson is the guy that says F**k a lot. His usual approach is direct, and his unfiltered words slap you across the face in an attempt to wake you up to the truth - your truth. In this book however, he came through much gentler and supportive. I always imagined his voice to be much more intense and harsh but he’s refreshingly quite calm. Unlike the one-way communication of his books, this is a two-way communication between him and his subjects, along with his added commentary of what he observed. Instead of dumping the brutal truth onto his subjects, in true coaching fashion he’s right there with them - curiously nudging and redirecting. He encourages each to become more conscious and to explore the road blocks getting in the way of love.
Each chapter is a discovery for each person to set boundaries, identify power struggles, explore their fantasies, become more vulnerable, express courage to be loved and to recognize the simplicity, yet difficulty in doing each.
Hearing the sessions reminded me that an emotion as significant and complex as love, is a journey. You don’t start the journey “bad” at love and end the journey “good” at love. There is no end and no beginning; there is rarely an obvious before and after. Rather, if we’re brave enough to get uncomfortable and ask for what we need, we’ll experience more moments that allow love in. The people and their stories are relatable and you’ll likely see yourself in one of them.

Enlightening and Entertaining
I not only enjoyed listening to this book—I also learned a lot. The author is a great performer and did a great job of narrating and interviewing the five people selected for the book. I have recommended it to many others, and I'm now listening to it for the second time. I have the feeling I'll be reading it again and again—every time I seem to learn something more. I highly recommend it.

Communication is key.
I absolutely thought the approach to this book was well thought out. Getting real life experiences that most of us face at one time or another and dissecting them to make all of us wake up to what we are really doing. None of us are mind readers, we must communicate openly and honestly with one another for our own sanity as well as the other persons heart that we are holding dearly. Its only fair.

Mark Manson laughs at animal abuse
In this book, Mark Manson laughs at animal abuse. I can get past him providing relationship guidance to a woman in a long term relationship with a married man in the context it is provided. What I can not get past, is Mark laughing at a woman having sex with her dog. Sex with an animal is abuse. What it is not, is funny. It is a felony in many states, as it should be in all of them.
Shame on Mark Manson. Shame on Audible.
Please do not spend your money on this book.

Upsetting and disappointing
Mark chose 5 cases out of thousands of relationship issues, and guess what he chose? He is actually counseling one woman on how to have a better relationship with her married affair partner of 3 yrs! I was appalled! Is that so common is his professional experience that he thinks the rest of us want to know how to have better relationships with our affair partners! I am still upset from reading and just returned the book

Not Mark’s best work
I love Mark Manson’s books but this one wasn’t his best. It was hard getting through this one. This book just consists of a bunch of therapy sessions between him and people struggle with relationships. It’s pain listening to the clients when they talk. I tried picking things out that I could relate to but the presentation of the information was the issue.

Keep doing what you're doing!!
I have been an avid Mason reader for a while now. Looking forward to the Will Smith book buddy... I know you're going to kill it!! He always keeps me engaged with the stories, philosophies, and ideas of how to look at things in a different perspective and that is something that is cherished and that is valuable to me. This new project "Love Is Not Enough" is something everybody should take a look at. People sometimes get stuck in these modes of thinking that end up hindering their ability to live fully and happy ("The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken"). So thank you Mark for inspiring me to be a better me. If I happen to see you in a bar someday... drinks are on me! Cheers!

Must be use the F word in every sentence? Do people actually talk this way? I don't want to be mean but most of the people he speaks to in the book are stuck in patterns of behavior that I don't believe they have any intention of changing. This is such a depressing book.

Helpful to hear the pitfalls of other people
Sometimes it is hard to self reflect on ways we may come up messy in a relationship, or the ways that we self sabotage from the one thing we want: to feel loved and accepted. Listening to the struggle of other's can help, as you can reflect on your experiences and see where you too may have fallen in a similar mind trap, all in the name of protecting yourself. The book is fun to listen to, though I felt the stories were very extreme and it was hard to relate to the people he interviewed. I was hoping to hear a story from a less dramatic person but I guess it is those stories that our media loves to highlight. Mark Mason has a very nonjudgmental approach to how he sits and listens, though he is assessing things, but still I appreciate how he narrates and engages with each person. It is a good listen.

Great guide to healthy love
Such a great guide to building a healthy loving relationship. I could relate to all 5 totally different people love stories thanks to Mark who brings to light common patterns. So interesting and encouraging to see the evolution of these 5 people throughout the project. I particularly appreciated Marks comments and guidance. Endearing characters, laughs, tears, aha moments... Amazing audiobook!
