Product Information
Offered as a generation-defining self-help guide, Mark Manson aims to show people how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time in order to become better, happier people. He intends to help people embrace the reality that sometimes shit is f**ked and you just have to live with it.
This book is intended as the antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation. Manson argues that improving our lives is due not only to the positives, but also dealing better with the negatives. He states that we should confront painful truths in order to begin to find courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness.
