The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Manson is a unique collection of short stories and essays that aim to make you think. The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck focuses on everyday experiences rather than philosophy or serious talk about life. If you want to get into the mindset of someone who thinks deeply, the main characters in this book will have already done so. The author makes it clear from the start that he is not delivering any deep thought or advice here. Instead, the collection is more like a series of vignettes, each dealing with a different situation but all bringing the reader in a little closer to a more mindful way of living.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck takes on many forms, but it is always the same message. Manson maintains that all of our thinking patterns are filtered through our experiences and how we perceive things. We are all born with the ability to think, but many of us lose that ability through constant repetition of negative self-talk, negative self-image, and the ignorant belief, "If it feels good, do it." The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck seeks to bring awareness to this fact and help people reclaim their power and become more mindful of what they truly are.
It is easy to dismiss The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck as a silly little book of pop cultural nonsense. The fact is that all of us have the power to change our thinking and gain better control over thought patterns and actions. All you have to do is learn a little about the process. Self-awareness is a very important part of life and the process of learning how to observe yourself and what you think is the first step. Once you know you have the tools you need to make real changes in your thinking, your world will literally be upside down and you will be able to take better care of yourself and live the kind of life you truly deserve.
