About this deal

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. Mi-a luat ceva timp s-o închei, după cum se poate constata, însă acest lucru (durata totală a lecturii) nu are deloc legătură cu valoarea sau savoarea (indiscutabilă a) cărții. Couldn't be happier to have chosen audio rather than ebook. Cursing can seem very aggressive when reading it on text, but hearing it through the voice of the narrator it became so much easier, and funnier. Not gonna lie though, right or wrong, this book definitely appealed to my snarky, crass kind of humor, reminding me once again that I apparently have the personality and sense of humor of a dude. Life is essentially an endless series of problems, Mark,” the panda told me. He sipped his drink and adjusted the little pink umbrella. “The solution to one problem is merely the creation of the next one.”

I also wrote down a lot of Mark Manson’s writing into my notes because I knew I would need it in the near future. And I would like to thank him for answering quite a lot of fears of mine with such a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth. Using the f word will be ok to most of the readers. But in the initial few chapters, the reader is bombarded with too many f words in a patronizing manner that the reader will start getting bored when he sees the f word. True happiness occurs only when you find the problems you enjoy having and enjoy solving. Happiness is wanting the problems you have and wanting to solve them.Taking responsibly for your actions, but not blaming yourself was one of the most valuable lessons I got from Mark Manson. But, full transparency, I read this out of curiosity and with a slim to none expectation of there being anything life changing to take away from it. This is certainly true - family interactions tend to follow a set structure, with each member playing a role. Also, note how you or another sibling may be able to get away with things that others simply cannot. All of these 000s of early interactions largely make you who you are. That's the theory, anyway.

Just like with a Gladwell book, I think one should read this book carefully, especially if the reader is new to self-help/ philosophy genres. If you're already familiar with some good/ logical philosophy books, chances are, you'll take everything in this with a grain of salt, and only extract what's helpful. However, when a non-fiction book gets this much popularity, this could even become the very first self-help book one reads. And that's a dangerous thing, to start along with a system that accepts 'expecting the negative to happen to be a positive thing'. As the experiences/ examples presented are clear, and very easy to relate to, it's easy to get completely lost in a philosophy like this. I still decided to share some (obvious) wisdom quotes, but I hope you won't be tempted to read this one because of them. On the contrary, I'm only reviewing this one to warn any future readers, especially if you're new to self-help or non-fiction books.My Muslim friends will sometimes say “Inshallah” which literally translates into “if Allah wills it” or “If God wills it”. When I first heard this, I mistakenly thought it was akin to “screw it” or “I don’t care” but I think this is more similar to the serenity prayer and also what Manson is talking about. Trust is the most important ingredient in any relationship for the simple reason that without trust the relationship doesn’t actually mean anything. I did find myself becoming very interested in this book. There are some passages that I could really relate to and I found myself nodding along on more than one occasion. However, reading it as the parent of two very young children was sometimes upsetting. James suggests that most of the molding of people's lives is done in the early months and first few years of life and discussions here about a mother's choice to work really sent my mind into panic mode. When asked to categorise myself according to James's breakdowns of wobbler, clinger, punitive or weak, I started looking at my personality in a way I haven't ever done, and while it did make me a little embarrassed at times, it also helped me to see how I came to be like this. And again, it's not about the blame game, it's more about looking inward and getting some perspective. James insists that he is not trying to stir up trouble with his findings, but he certainly has some very controversial subject matter here and it is hard to disagree with a lot of it. The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.
