Very interesting book. I think the first chapter could be a deterrent for some due to the constant cursing. I figured there would be a lot of profanity, considering the title! After the first chapter, the content is very interesting and the author introduces concepts that have you thinking. I do walk away from the book and continue to think about the author's perspective, which makes the book a good book. Anything that has you thinking long after reading it, I consider to be good.

If you know anything about Buddhism then you won't learn anything new in this book. The info in this book was very repetitive throughout. Basically, the message was "the more stuff you acquire the more troubles you'll have. Be happy having less." I wonder how much "stuff" the author has. But, if you've never read anything about Buddhism this book could give you a wake-up call.

This is my new favorite book! Mark Manson's perspective on living a good life is very blunt, real, and in many cases funny. I usually do not read books more than once but this one will be read over and over again as time goes on. It really gave me a lot of food for thought and i love his counter-intuitive approach on which things you really should care about in life! I would recommend this to anyone I know unless they are offended by the F bomb. LOL This is a real page flipper. I stayed up far too late because I just couldn't put it down. Great writing Mark!

The wisdom imparted by the author is timely and relevant. This is not a coddle wamby pamby feel good book. It is about understanding that life sometimes sucks and how are you going to deal with it. In spite of what you parents told you you may not be the second coming or the greatest thing since sliced bread. We all have a purpose in life and it is how we choose to utilize that purpose is what counts in finding inner happiness. As Curley Joe said in City Slickers - the secret to life is one thing. That one thing differs for all of us.

Love the title, but a little overused throughout the book. This book goes into my PRIVATE library. It’s an interesting read and has some interesting facts based on the realities of today. In the end it promotes “self” without caring about anybody else. Thus the title.
