About this listen
From the author of the international mega-best-seller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.
We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been - we are freer, healthier, and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked - the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education, and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t - and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the number-one best seller in 13 different countries.
Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment, and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom - and even of hope itself.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

A great follow up to The Subtle Art, but way more philosophical
A really enjoyable dive into much deeper elements hinted at in The Subtle Art... this book should challenge you to be better and to reframe how you approach life. It doesn’t decry religion or make fun, but points out weaknesses of character and the necessity for maturity. My words can’t capture the essence of the book well enough, but safe to say if you enjoyed The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k and titles like Sapiens and Homo Deus, this will be right up your alley. Challenge yourself.

Compelling reading on many subjects
I could not stop reading this book, though kept wondering what sort of book it was - it's not a straightforward self-help book, nor a work of philosophy, let alone theology, but Mark Manson does touch on these areas all the time, and others besides. His portraits of episodes in the lives of Newton, Nietzsche et al are fascinating, and well-used in his analyses. He goes in for too many sweeping statements, unsupported by evidence, so the only way to read this is as a series of viewpoints, a prolonged opinion piece - a long sermon, perhaps. Once you accept that, you can just go along with it, agreeing with this, disagreeing with that. I have not read Mark's first book, but may now do so. I believe he will start useful arguments in the minds of readers, and between readers. Mark's pronunciations are sometimes not correct - one would have thought he would find out how to pronounce the name Nietzsche, since he says it dozens of times throughout the reading. It is not 'Nietzschie'.

Life changing read. Thank you Mark for recognising and having the courage to document this fucked life and for being an end within an end.

Pop philosophy. Good but flawed.
Worth a listen. Has flaws about AI and its capabilities. Often depressing and indulgent.

Ahh! Burn the computers!!
This is a very different ‘self-help’ book, which leaves you with zero steps for personal development. And yet, it’s refreshing, well researched and interesting.
The book gives you a greater understanding of personal psychology and extrapolates that to explain psychology of the masses. This helps the author explain constructs like religion, government and culture in general.
I’m not sure what I’ll personally do with the information from this book, however, I’m grateful for the knowledge.

Better than I’d hoped, and my hopes were high
After reading the subtle art of not giving a f*ck, I knew I was in good hands but this was nothing shy of exemplary.
It was everything I liked and needed. Top notch, have a listen.

Incredible!!
I usually don’t make the effort to post reviews but this book deserves it!
I am about to begin a motivational speaking stage in my life and this has helped in a big way. Starting a new stage in my life use to mean I had to change everything about my life, this book really puts things into perspective.
I use to enjoy everything outdoors and was very creative but gave up these values simply because I thought I had too to be able to start this new stage in my life. Motivational speaking will have no effect if I don’t stay true to who I am and maintain the values that have always been important to me.
This book was fucked but then again everything else is too! Highly recommend ;)

Another Manson home run!
Another brilliant book, filled with the distillation of some of humanities greatest minds on the topic of hope. And wow, does this book finish ever so strongly! I will most certainly be reading this book many times over. Thank you Mark!

Rubbish first half, outstanding back half
Personally I found the first half a bit dreary and inconclusive.
However, upon reaching the second half the book goes up a gear or two with very interesting and challenging concepts.
Overall, a great listen
