Blog postFirst Fact: At some point during evolution between plankton and Bon Jovi, apes evolved the ability to become emotionally attached to one another. This emotional attachment would eventually come to be known as “love” and evolution would one day produce a bevy of singers from New Jersey who would make millions writing cheesy songs about it.
Second Fact: Humans evolved the ability to become attached to each other—that is, the ability to love each other—because it helped us survive.1 This1 week ago Read more -

Blog postA lot of dating advice glosses over the concepts of compatibility and chemistry, assuming most people have an intuitive grasp of what these two words mean and why they’re so important to a successful relationship.

Dating advice mostly ignores diving into compatibility and chemistry because they can’t be faked or changed. These ideas are there or they are not.

Blog postEver since the release of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck back in 2016, many people have compared my work to Stoicism. Some have even gone as far as to say that my work is merely regurgitating Stoicism with a couple cool stories and F-bombs thrown in to spice things up.
Initially, I found this amusing. I had read Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations in college, as well as bits and pieces of Seneca. But other than that, I knew very little about the Stoics when I wrote the book. Since then,2 months ago Read more -

Blog postThere’s a fundamental assumption a lot of us make about sex that often causes a lot of skewed perceptions about why we’re not getting the sex/love we want.
Men have a tendency to make the assumption that sex itself is a need, regardless of who (or what) it comes from. Women have a tendency to assume that sex can only be a form of intimacy/love. Both of these are wrong, and they both get a lot of people into trouble in their relationships.

#1 New York Times Bestseller
Over 1 million copies sold
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, 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**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American 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.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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.

Durante los últimos años, Mark Manson -en su popular blog- se ha afanado en corregir nuestras delirantes expectativas sobre nosotros mismos y el mundo. Ahora nos ofrece su toda su intrépida sabiduría en este libro pionero.
Manson nos recuerda que los seres humanos somos falibles y limitados: "no todos podemos ser extraordinarios: hay ganadores y perdedores en la sociedad, y esto no siempre es justo o es tu culpa". Manson nos aconseja que reconozcamos nuestras limitaciones y las aceptemos. Esto es, según él, el verdadero origen del empoderamiento. Una vez que abrazamos nuestros temores, faltas e incertidumbres, una vez que dejamos de huir y evadir y empezamos a confrontar las verdades dolorosas, podemos comenzar a encontrar el valor, la perseverancia, la honestidad, la responsabilidad, la curiosidad y el perdón que buscamos.
Este manifiesto es una refrescante bofetada, para que podamos empezar a llevar vidas más satisfechas y con los pies en la tierra.
Chega de tentar buscar um sucesso que só existe na sua cabeça. Chega de se torturar para pensar positivo enquanto sua vida vai ladeira abaixo. Chega de se sentir inferior por não ver o lado bom de estar no fundo do poço.
Coaching, autoajuda, desenvolvimento pessoal, mentalização positiva — sem querer desprezar o valor de nada disso, a grande verdade é que às vezes nos sentimos quase sufocados diante da pressão infinita por parecermos otimistas o tempo todo. É um pecado social se deixar abater quando as coisas não vão bem. Ninguém pode fracassar simplesmente, sem aprender nada com isso. Não dá mais. É insuportável. E é aí que entra a revolucionária e sutil arte de ligar o foda-se.
Mark Manson usa toda a sua sagacidade de escritor e seu olhar crítico para propor um novo caminho rumo a uma vida melhor, mais coerente com a realidade e consciente dos nossos limites. E ele faz isso da melhor maneira. Como um verdadeiro amigo, Mark se senta ao seu lado e diz, olhando nos seus olhos: você não é tão especial. Ele conta umas piadas aqui, dá uns exemplos inusitados ali, joga umas verdades na sua cara e pronto, você já se sente muito mais alerta e capaz de enfrentar esse mundo cão.
Para os céticos e os descrentes, mas também para os amantes do gênero, enfim uma abordagem franca e inteligente que vai ajudar você a descobrir o que é realmente importante na sua vida, e f*da-se o resto. Livre-se agora da felicidade maquiada e superficial e abrace esta arte verdadeiramente transformadora.
Por el autor del best seller mundial El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mi*rda, esta guía provee consejos inesperados para lidiar y no vivir de la esperanza.
Vivimos en un momento muy interesante. En el aspecto material, este es el mejor momento que hemos vivido como sociedad, somos más libres que nunca, más sanos y más ricos que cualquier otra época en la historia de la humanidad. Sin embargo, de alguna manera, todo parece estar irreparablemente destruido: el calentamiento global, los gobiernos se equivocan constantemente, las economías colapsan y todo mundo se siente perpetuamente ofendido en Twitter. En este momento de la historia, en el que tenemos acceso a la tecnología, a la educación y a las comunicaciones, a la que nuestros antepasados ni siquiera podían soñar, muchos de nosotros nos sentimos desesperanzados.
¿Qué está sucediendo? Si alguien puede ponerle un nombre a nuestro malestar y ayudar a solucionarlo, ese es Mark Manson.
Manson publicó El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mi*rda, un libro en el que explicaba las razones que nos provocan ansiedad constante en esta vida moderna. Nos mostró que la tecnología nos había ayudado a preocuparnos por las cosas equivocadas, que nuestra cultura nos había convencido de que el mundo nos debía algo cuando no era así, y lo peor de todo, la obsesión moderna y enloquecedora de encontrar siempre la felicidad. Cosas que realmente solo sirven para hacernos más infelices. En cambio, el "sutil arte" de ese título resultó ser un desafío audaz: el de elegir tu lucha; para reducir y enfocar el dolor que deseas soportar. El resultado fue un libro que se convirtió en un fenómeno internacional, con más de seis millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo y número 1 de las listas de los más vendidos en más de trece países.
Ahora, en Todo está j*dido, Manson se adentra en los fallos que tenemos como seres humanos hasta las interminables calamidades que están sucediendo alrededor del mundo entero. Partiendo desde una investigación psicológica sobre estos temas, así como de la sabiduría eterna de filósofos como Platón, Nietzsche y Tom Waits, Manosn analiza la religión y la política y las diferentes formas en las que se han manifestado. Observa nuestras relaciones con el dinero, el entretenimiento e Internet, y como nos obsesionamos hasta consumirnos psicológicamente vivos. Desafía abiertamente nuestras definiciones de fe, felicidad y libertad e incluso de la esperanza.
Con su mezcla habitual de erudición y de un humor inesperado, Manson nos coge del cuello y nos desafía a ser más honestos con nosotros mismos para conectarnos con el mundo de maneras que probablemente no hayamos considerado antes.
Es otro juego intuitivo que busca entender el dolor en nuestros corazones y el estrés de nuestra alma. Uno de los grandes escritores modernos ha producido otro libro que servirá de pauta para los años venideros.
Sobre El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mi*rda:
«La capacidad de Mark para profundizar y ofrecer una visión contra-intuitiva sobre los retos de la vida hacen que sea uno de mis escritores preferidos». Matt Kepnes
«Lo contrario al resto de los libros. No lo intentes. Ríndete. Equivócate. Baja tus expectativas. Deja de creer en ti mismo.
- Вдохновляющий ответ на вопрос «В чём смысл жизни?»
- О том, как перестать зацикливаться на себе и своих проблемах
О чем
Оглянитесь вокруг себя. Пролистайте ленту соцсетей. Прислушайтесь. И вы услышите, как окружающий мир настойчиво твердит: «Будь лучше!», «Добейся успеха любой ценой!», «Будь первым!» Несмотря на то, что человеческая цивилизация еще никогда в истории не жила в таком достатке, всё больше людей испытывают необъяснимое ощущение фрустрации. Будто бы чего-то не хватает, будто бы у всех твоих френдов в соцсетях жизнь лучше и приятнее.

Do autor do mega-seller A sutil arte de ligar o f*da-se
Vivemos em uma época interessante. Materialmente, nunca estivemos melhor — temos mais liberdade, mais saúde e mais riqueza do que em qualquer momento da história da humanidade. No entanto, tudo ao redor parece terrivelmente f*dido: aquecimento global, governantes horrorosos, economia em crise e todos constantemente ofendidos nas redes sociais. Temos acesso a tecnologia, educação e comunicação de maneiras que nossos ancestrais jamais sonhariam e, mesmo assim, sentimos essa desesperança esmagadora. O que está acontecendo, afinal?
Se você também está se fazendo essa pergunta, o livro de Mark Manson é sua próxima leitura obrigatória. Em A sutil arte de ligar o f*da-se, Manson, de maneira brilhante, deu forma à ansiedade que permeia a vida moderna — agora, em F*deu geral, ele desvia seu olhar das falhas inevitáveis de cada indivíduo para as inúmeras calamidades que tomam o mundo. Ao trazer desde pesquisas psicológicas até pérolas da sabedoria atemporal de filósofos como Platão e Nietzsche (e Tom Waits), Manson disseca religião e política e trata de como as duas, desconfortavelmente, vieram a se assemelhar. Também explora nossa relação com o dinheiro, o entretenimento e a internet, e desafia de modo franco nossas definições de fé, felicidade, liberdade e, até mesmo, a própria definição de esperança.
Um passeio inusitado e divertido pela dor em nossos corações e o estresse em nossas vidas.
Il metodo scorretto (ma efficace) per liberarsi da persone irritanti, falsi problemi e rotture di ogni giorno e vivere felici
Come imparare a smetterla di fare tutto quello che gli altri si aspettano da noi, diventare delle persone più autentiche e vivere come avremmo sempre voluto.
Per decenni ci hanno ripetuto che il pensiero positivo è la chiave per avere una vita intensa e felice. «Fan***o la positività», afferma Mark Manson. «Cerchiamo di essere onesti, ogni tanto le cose non vanno come avremmo voluto, ma dobbiamo imparare ad accettarlo». L’autore, blogger seguitissimo, dice le cose come stanno: una dose di cruda, rinfrescante, pura verità. Il concetto sostenuto nel libro, avvalorato da studi accademici e arricchito da aneddoti di vita reali, è che migliorare la nostra vita non dipende dalla nostra capacità di affrontare con falsa positività le difficoltà che incontriamo, ma dall’imparare a riconoscerle. Una volta che abbracciamo le nostre paure, i difetti, le incertezze, possiamo cominciare a trovare il coraggio, la responsabilità, la curiosità, e il perdono che cerchiamo. La sottile arte di fare quello che c***o ti pare è uno schiaffo in faccia a chi non vede l’ora di risvegliarsi da un triste torpore e vivere secondo le proprie aspirazioni.
