The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*** is a self-improvement book written by Mark Manson, which saw large success commercially and critically. Like many self-improvement books, Manson writes about finding meaning in life. What seperates this book is Manson's raw and personal language, along with his straight-to-the-point attitude. Throughout the book, Manson advocates for establishing personal values that are controllable and create true joy for life in favor of values that are uncontrollable and produce ephemeral feelings.
