From the author of the international mega-bestseller 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 #1 bestseller 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 humour, 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.

三星半吧。Thinking brain and feeling brain 有点炒冷饭,其实就是卡尼曼的思考,快与慢中的两个思考系统。只不过Mark是用非学术的口语化语言表述,前半部分的故事和叙述都不错,喜欢他看问题的方式,总是能用批判性思维。有一章用讲反话的方式把广义上religion是怎么一步步构建以自己为中心的体系说的很清楚。但是越往后越啰嗦,就没那么有趣了。鉴于部分内容,感觉这本书的中文版...三星半吧。Thinking brain and feeling brain 有点炒冷饭,其实就是卡尼曼的思考,快与慢中的两个思考系统。只不过Mark是用非学术的口语化语言表述,前半部分的故事和叙述都不错,喜欢他看问题的方式,总是能用批判性思维。有一章用讲反话的方式把广义上religion是怎么一步步构建以自己为中心的体系说的很清楚。但是越往后越啰嗦,就没那么有趣了。鉴于部分内容,感觉这本书的中文版可能很难出版。嗯,don’t hope for a better life. Simply be a better life. And you must treat humanity never merely as a means, but always as an end itself.(展开)
