The art of indifference

We have been 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, bad is bad and we have to live with that." Manson does not dodge or sugarcoat the truths; he tells us as they are: a dose of honest, refreshing brutal truth is what we lack today. This book is a remedy for the mindset we soothe ourselves with, the mindset of "let's work on having all of us good feelings" that 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 that, and to start facing painful truths, so that we become capable of finding what we seek with courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, tolerance, and love of knowledge. Not everyone can be distinguished or excel. In society, there are successes and failures; part of this reality is not fair and is not the result of your mistake. And it is true that money is good, but caring about what you do with your life is much better; experience is the real wealth. It is a moment of genuine, honest talk from someone who grabs your shoulders and looks into your eyes. This book is a "refreshing" slap for this generation to help it live a content, stable life.
