\nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nIn“The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck:A CounterintuitiveApproach to Living a Good Life”,Mark Manson follows theroad not taken by presenting a set of seemingly weirdtactics to living a good life.His ultimate proposition is thatpeople need to start caring less about everything.Instead,the key to living a good life is in individuals knowing whatmatters to them and not wasting energy stressing overevery little thing.He then proceeds to educate us on howto move forward by going backward.  \nManson strongly believes that the endless pursuit of aflawless life,fueled by today's picture-perfect social mediastandards,is responsible for many of the psychologicalillnesses that have become rampant.The book culminatesin a conclusion that we need to look beyond ourselves,dropthe entitled airs,and embrace the ugliness anduncertainties before we can live better lives.  \nManson sometimes delivers his wisdom in a graphiclanguage that may put readers off at first.Once you can getpast that,however,there is a wealth of practical insightdelivered in an easy-to-understand style.Not only does henot give conventional advice,he also does not writeconventionally.  \nThe title is definitely not the only shocking thing about thisbook but,love it or hate it,Mark Manson's book is not oneto be forgotten in a hurry.  \n## CHAPTER 1:DON’T TRY\n\nKey Takeaways:  \n■ Most motivational and self-help materials do moreharm than good because they fix your gaze on whatyou don't have  \n■ Becoming a better person is not synonymous withbecoming successful  \n■ Obsessively pursuing adequacy is a sign ofinadequacy and dissatisfaction  \n■ Discomfort is only natural.Trying to avoid it at allcosts is what is
