The art of indifference – Mark Manson | Self-development

We were told for decades that positive thinking is the key to a happy prosperous life. But Mark Manson criticizes that "positivity" and says: "Let's be honest, the bad is bad and we have to live with that." Manson does not shy away from the facts nor cover them with sugar, but tells us as they are: a dose of honest, refreshing raw truth is what we lack today. This book is a remedy for the mentality we soothe ourselves with, the mentality of "Let's work to have all of us feel good" that has invaded contemporary society and corrupted an entire generation that now receives gold medals just for attending school. Manson advises us to know our limits and accept them. To realize our fears, shortcomings, and what we are not confident about, and to stop avoiding and fleeing from all of that, and to start facing painful truths, so that we become capable of finding what we seek—courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, tolerance, and love of knowledge.
