This book for me was a disappointment. I heard how brilliant it was and wanted to read it and see what all the hype was about.

And I found it to be repetitive. And just a let down. Sure, there are some handy things in there. But it's just not what I was expecting. That could be saying more about my expectations than the book itself, but with the reviews I'd read I thought I'd really dig the book. People I know really enjoyed it and thought I would too, but I just couldn't get behind it.

An excellent message for this time. He loses a star for completely ignoring privilege. I often found myself asking, "How would someone who has been formed by historic oppression read this?" He may say, "Don't give a f*ck about it," but it's far too easy to say. Perhaps I need to read more of his blog.

That being said, he is right. It's not about caring about nothing, but about choosing what to care about and not giving those things that are not important your concern.

Rather than approaching life as moving from one ambition to the next, accepting mortality and that every choice brings its own series of problems helps centre us to live better in the world.

Sort of a spoiler-it's not really about not giving a f*ck.

I was reminded again of the book and felt compelled to write a review.

Possibly the worst book I’ve ever read, and I’ve read Ayn Rand’s books. It reads like a combination of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations and How to Win Friends and Influence you, but with all the weaknesses and none of the strengths of those two books. It’s self help for edgy incels, written by a rich prick. 0/5

After having read the book, I honestly don't understand half of the hype that surrounded it's release.

The title draws you in and then Mr. Manson's use of colorful language is meant to shock. The advice given isn't terribly far off from what you might expect from a High school football coach or a stern parent.

All in all, I don't feel that there is anything to gain from reading the book.
