If you are ready to take your medicine, Mark Manson has the antidote for your unhappiness. Instead of a spoon full of sugar, he delivers a punch in the gut in his hilariously breezy new book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life. While most self-help books tend to espouse vaguely new-age philosophies—the importance of being positive, enriching your life with meaningful experiences, happiness affirmations, smelling the roses, etc.—Manson takes a new approach that aims to shock his readers into action.
