my name is mark manson and i've fucked a lot of bitches. and no, i'm not proud of that. it al started when i went to live in south america: i quit my job, sold all my shit and just moved there, isn't that zany?! i fucked a lot of bitches there and i'm not proud of it. when i was a kid, my parents got divorced, and my drug addict friend jumped off a cliff and died so shut the fuck up about your suffering because we ALL have suffering. it was then that i discovered that i was enlightened, so i went to south africa and stood at the southern most tip of the continent. people thought i was like crazy or something because i crossed the fence line and got really close to the edge, but really?

they were the crazy ones all along. i'm just doin my thang.

Is this book in any way substantially different from Diogenes of Sinope? I mean, he is basically the epitome of not giving a fuck.

>> No.13716739

>>13716709
no, the book is about not giving a fuck about certain things, such as for example maybe bad neighbor loud noises. he advocates very much for giving fucks about career and friendship and so on.

its terrible. i only read it ironically because i thought i would find it funny, but it wasn't even so bad that it was good, it was just too boring for me to even have an opinion other than "it's boring." imagine if an AI that scans the deepest thoughts of all 9th graders who wear tapout and slayer shirts wrote a book; this is that book.

he only gives a fuck about boomer shit, tells you not to give a fuck about drugs and sex and bad stuff that happens to you, thats literally it. imagine him going up to a starving nigger in the congo and saying "you're responsible for this, you need to stop giving a fuck about your problems and start solving them." thats the book

>> No.13716867

>>13716853

are you saying that he should go to the congo to tell off the niggers or is that what he ends up doing according to the contents of the book? because the latter seems like giving a fuck, not not giving a fuck like the title suggests

I've never read that book by Manson, but I like his book Models. He shares a good perspective to have on relationships, and it cured me of a lot of my cumbrain-esque beliefs about women. I'd rather be picky and be with a woman who's compatible than try to attract as many roasties as possible. And it got a lot easier to do both once I stopped feeling "entitled", for the lack of a less harsh word," to sex and started to be the best version of myself.

That being said, I'm not a fan of Manson's writing style, and his excessive cursing comes off as Reddit-bro garbage. His work, like most self-help, can be "fluffy" at times too. But I think he can be a good read if you have certain mindset issues that are getting in the way of living a good life.

Your labels are water off a ducks back when the author doesn’t give a F*CK. That’s why he spends the whole book qualifying himself for your attention. It’s because of the sheer lack of fucks in his arsenal. His soul is like a bottomless void, devoid of any fucks that could have ever entered into his consciousness.
