The author uses a gimmick to attract a select audience. The first two chapters are full of f-bombs, hyperbole, illogical generalizations, and unstructured conclusions. By chapter three he settles into more of a logical pattern and traditional language. The messages are not new. They are recycled, but restated in a social-media type of diatribe. Yet, there are some good insights here and there.<br \/>\nOverall, though, it is written using a gimmick to attract the interest of a younger audience who may be looking for some informal thoughts on coping with the modern world. The book feels like a conversation in a a bar after a few drinks and, in a stupor, it may sound wise and meaningful.\u00a0 \u00a0When the hangover subsides, the book is a forgettable experience.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A1250359657&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\" width=\"70%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"><a style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"HarperAudio US\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/harperaudio_us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HarperAudio US<\/a> \u00b7 <a style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK JOURNAL by Mark Manson\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/harperaudio_us\/the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-fck-journal-by-mark-manson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK JOURNAL by Mark Manson<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book is a bit of a dupe.
