      No. Why would I give a fuck about a book that proves with its title that it doesn’t know shit about the subject of the book? That’d be like buying “every way to cook a steak: 500 recipes for microwaving filet mignon”

        I started it, and it’s bad. I must’ve read 25 pages.

        It’s very poorly written, it reads like it was written by someone who only speaks English as a second language, or a teenager. With an added layer of trying to sound deep and wise.

        Whatever substance there might be in there was destroyed by who terrible it was to read.

          Isn’t it some blog post that was edited into a book?

            Could be. It’s just bad to read in any case.

              Yeah it was very bad. I think I got barely 25% in before I gave up.

        Oh honey, your ignorance is showing. Don’t comment on books you haven’t read.

      I have, and it was basically a curse-word ridden version of another book that was published around the same time. The “unfucked” version was better IMO, but I don’t remember what it was called. I guess gimmicks really do help a book succeed.

        Maybe you’re thinking of “Let Them” by Mel Robbins? It’s newer but a more positive way to say the same thing.

          I don’t think so. There was a book where the author looked at basically the same groups of people (stoics, buddhists, etc.) but it didn’t have the same buzzy title. I think I loaded both onto my Kindle from pdf so now I can’t find a reference to either. Oh well.

        I have as well, and Mark Manson is a really intelligent writer. That book is still on the shelves for a reason.

        Everyone uses gimmicks.
