Not a book worm , Hate reading , but this book makes you want to flip the pages and finish the chapter .
DO I AGREE with everything – NO
DID I LEARN FROM IT – HELL TO THE F*CK YES.
MARK MANSON I’m so GLAD YOU ARE A BLOGGER !
The book was written by a blogger that left a lot of opportunities to write, I just can’t wait to read ” EVERYTHING’S F*CKED* which is the second edition part 2 of this book , I just ordered it online because I heard it’s even better than the first edition.
Although it has some typos I learned these points:
OK WAIT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A CUTE SHORT POST ANYMORE , ALOT TO TYPE ON THE CONTENT OF THIS BOOK !
I Learned that:
WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO FIND IMPORTANT IN LIFE AND WHAT YOU’RE CHOOSING TO FIND UNIMPORTANT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EPIDEMIC- THAT SO MANY PEOPLE DO NOT REALISE THAT THINGS CAN SUCK SOMETIMES AND ITS OK, WE ALWAYS BELIEVE ITS NOT OK FOR THINGS TO SUCK SOMETIMES.
VICTIMHOOD CHIC- WE ALWAYS PLAY THE VICTIM ACT AND THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT OUR FAULT.
Overcoming Particular problems you face in life, Take responsibility over tragic problems even if you are not at fault.
FAILURE IS SUCCESS. ( Sometimes you need to fail and fall , to get back up and succeed.
Only give a F*ck about what suits your personal values ( What is really important and what’s not) Know the difference between good vales and shitty values. ( Pleasure, material success, always being right even if you are not certain and staying positive.
Not giving a F*ck is not about being indifferent. It just means you’re comfortable with being different. Don’t say f*ck it to everything in life, just to the unimportant things.
If you are able to not give a fuck about the pain your goals require, then you become unstoppable.
Happiness is found in trying to solving problems, not avoiding them. or creating them when you feel like nothing is going wrong.
People terrified of what other people think of them are the same people that are terrified of all the negative things they think about themselves being reflected back at them.
BBBBBB BUUUUT .. IF I AM NOT GOING TO BE SPECIAL AND EXTRAORDINARY , WHAT IS THE POINT? this is from Chapter 3 of the book ” you are not special” you will understand every word and what it meant if you read it and it will change your EGO state of mind.
DISAPPOINTMENT PANDA ( I will not explain it, you will have to give this one a read.) WORTH IT FOLKS!
STOP BEING TOO MAJORLY POSITIVE MAN!
THE DESIRE OF A MORE POSTIVE EXPERIENCE IS ITSELF A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE , THE ACCEPTANCE OF SOMEONES NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE IS ITSELF A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE, I CALL THEM THE POSITIVE IDIOTS WE ALL KNOW ONE IN OUR LIVES , OVERLY POSITIVE ATTITUDES LIKE WHATS HAPPENING IN SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW BECAUSE BASICALLY THEY ARE JUST LYING TO YOURSELVES.
EMOTIONS ARE OVERATED
CHOOSE WHAT TO GIVE AND NOT GIVE A F*CK ABOUT.
FAVOURITE CHAPTER?
THE VALUE OF SUFFERING!
ROCKSTAR PROBLEMS– I listen to a lot of rock bands and I love the MUSIC genre itself, I learned so much more about METALLICA and THE BEATLES from this book , DAVE MUSTAINE story and how he was kicked out of METALLICA and still made it selling 20 million albums with megadeth and still not satisfied until he does better than MEtallica, PETE BEST when he got kicked out of the beatles because he was the center of attention in between all the band groups , but still was in peace with himself because he didnt want to compete and seek revenge , he choose the simple life .
I hate books guys , but everyone who feels that they don’t understand them own selves should give this book a try , I just ordered 2 more books from the same author on amazon.
I advice you to get 2 parts not just the first one , trust me it’s a good investment that will mentally change your thinking .
