Jumia Books Subtle Art Of Not

This is my book summary of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*by Mark Manson. My notes are informal and often contain quotes from the book as well as my own thoughts. This summary also includes key lessons and important passages from the book.
Conventional self-help advice which tells you to visualize success and think about the type of person you want to be only reinforces the idea that you are not that thing.Everyone wants you to believe that the secret to a good life is to have a nicer job or a better car or a prettier girlfriend.The key to a good life is not giving a f* about more; it’s giving a  about less, giving a  about only what is true and immediate and important.We are no longer facing a material crisis. We have plenty of resources: TVs and clothes and goods that we don’t need. The problem we face is existential and spiritual. We have so much stuff and so many opportunities that we don’t know what to give a  about anymore.Because there’s an infinite amount of things we can now see or know, there are also an infinite number of ways we can discover that we don’t measure up, that we’re not good enough, that things aren’t as great as they could be.
