Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

Absolutely amazed by this books content. It outlines the importance of the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, Rene Descartes, and Nietzsche among others. But it's not a book for the masses. It is for those who have at least already secured them self in the past in the financial domain. Because if you don't have money to take care of your daily life, it is but hopeless to talk about philosophy. However, how to live an ideal life through moral and personal ethics is excellently explained in the book, and the fact that it can and will lead to personal fulfillment and satisfaction at a very deep level is beyond doubt. As rightly pointed out in the book, if you want to compare Kant's thinking brain with ours, his thinking brain must have had biceps. Most of us (if not all) are guided by our feeling brain. And that's where the author has successfully driven his point. Most of our problems are emotional (feeling brain is in the driver's seat, while the thinking brain is in the passenger seat), and we take decisions in life based on the emotions that the situations in life generates. Kant was the exception. The author has succeeded in outlining his own personal philosophy of life, a large share of which are a mix of Kant's philosophy and those of others (Nietzsche etc). I enjoyed the book from the beginning till the end. The best part is that the author is not dictating what the reader should do. He has let it for the reader to decide. Mark has on the other hand described in detail the importance of values and how it maneuvers the dynamics of the society and people in the world in general. It is a book about psychology and a lot of research has gone into the writing of it. The last portion of the book is about artificial intelligence (AI) and the proclamation that it is going to be the final religion. This book is highly recommended to all avid readers with an exploring mind, who really wants to go deep down the rabbit hole to seek out the fundamentals that govern the dynamics of life we are living at present. Lot of humour fill the book, the writer never stops entertaining even when the issue is deeply philosophical. Lot of love and respect to M. Manson for taking this bold step with writing EiF.

The whole premise of the book is the escape from the self because, wait a minute, there is no self! Humandom, for some unknown reason has unleashed hell upon itself, because of this monster called AI. Yes, it is important to realise that things will not be the same as life was before AI but then, perhaps it is just like the advent of light (electricity) or the phone. Yes, references to Nietzsche and Kant make things interesting but what I especially liked was the way in which this was done, with new interpretations of Kant, Nietzsche and this might be remarkable by and in, itself. Let us now hope the prediction in this book doesn't come true... Arunav Barua

★★★★☆ Review: I recently received a book from Amazon and overall, I am satisfied with the delivery service and the quality of the book. The packaging was well-done, ensuring that the book arrived in good condition without any significant damage. While the book itself is of good quality, I did notice some minor marks on the front pages. These marks might have been caused during the packaging process or perhaps they were remnants of previous use. However, they were not significant enough to hinder my reading experience or draw much attention. Despite these minor imperfections, I must mention that the book I received was indeed new and free from any major damage. It was in better condition than I had expected, and I appreciate the effort put into ensuring its safe delivery. In terms of Amazon's delivery service, I found it to be reliable and prompt. The package arrived within the expected timeframe, and the book was well-protected, which is crucial for delicate items like books. Overall, while there were some minor marks on the front pages, they did not significantly impact my enjoyment of the book. I am satisfied with the quality of the book and the efficient delivery service provided by Amazon. I would not hesitate to order from them again in the future. - Aryan..

Good

I didn't read any of Mark's books for the longest time - no specific reason why. However I bought this immediately after reading The Subtle Art... And glad I did. A very counterintuitive perspective on hope and does make a lot of sense. Another review said the content about AI towards the end didn't make sense, however I see the context and understand (...hopefully) what the author was trying to say. A lot of uncomfortable truths delivered in a 21st century way - honest, clear, and precise. Some could take offence at the style, but don't let that distract you from the content. This book isn't for the fainthearted so come prepared. It is heavy reading and needs time to process. I definitely recommend!

🖋️Book Review 🖋️ 🖋️ Everything is f*cked by Mark Manson. 🖋️Genre: Self help. 🖋️ Storyline: Q. What was the most exciting moment in the book? A. I loved how the author ended the book. Q. What did you think was the most important point, or climax, of the novel? A. The most important according to me was how maturity has nothing to do with age. How We emotionally destroy our self esteem. Not knowing our strengths and weaknesses do us the maximum harm than anything else. Q. Did you want to read the Book to the end? Why? A. I started the book with a pre assumption but found something else. Some parts were relatable, some went over my head. Q. Were you happy with the ending? A. Throughout the book I was like what he wants me to get from this book. Because there were a hell lot of things generating from a single cause and it all made sense in the end. 🖋️ Setting: Q. Was there anything unusual and different about the book? A. Yes. I seriously was thinking to find something else but then it came out to be different and I was so happy knowing that atleast it all made sense. Q. Were the descriptions good? A. Absolutely. I love the way he writes as if having a conversation with a friend. 🖋️ Theme: Q. If you had to say what the book was in one sentence how would you describe it? A. Love yourself no matter what and accept your capabilities. 🖋️ Language: Q. Did you find this book easy to read? A. I got bored at some points but the facts and real life incidents described are really worth knowing. I loved the ending a lot. Q. Pick out your favourite description. A. Pain is the currency of our values. Without the pain of loss (or potential loss), it becomes impossible to determine the value of anything at all. 🖋️ Conclusion: Q. Would you recommend this book and why? A. Those who have read the earlier book will obviously love that one more. I did too. But this is different, way different from what you would thought it would be. Read it with a open mind and don't miss the ending. I ended it with a big smile and everything made sense.

How could a supposedly self-help book turns out to be a page-turner as well? You could easily gulp this book down in one sitting and then gaze at the horizon thinking solemnly, "hey, didn't really assume the reality is really such messed up in real world these days..." But ditch pessimism, this book would teach you to take hold of this messed up situation we are in, socially, politically, personally, historically even, and to pick up the hidden hope that is so obvious but so subtle that it somehow missed your attention altogether. Previously Mark Manson made us realize that "happiness" is rather overrated and why narrowing down your "f*** count" is very much necessary. Now he tries to have your attention more seriously and profoundly to a bigger perspective, that is our socio-political surroundings and our true position in it. With his typical humor, offbeat wisdom and terrific writing, you shouldn't give this book a miss. Living "hopefully" in this seemingly messed up world is another "subtle art" indeed. Once again you are up to the mark, Mark. Cheers.

Want somee high stuffff , grab it!! Mark manson is best. Just a little messy , but for sure it is worth it.
