EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE OUR LIVES IS WRONG. NOW SUPERSTAR BLOGGER MARK MANSON TELLS US WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO GET IT RIGHT.

For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. Drawing on academic research and the life experience that comes from breaking the rules, Mark Manson is ready to explode that myth. The key to a good life, according to Manson, is the understanding that 'sometimes shit is f*cked up and we have to live with it.'

Manson says that instead of trying to turn lemons into lemonade, we should learn to stomach lemons better, and stop distracting ourselves from life's inevitable disappointments chasing 'shit' like money, success and possessions. It's time to re-calibrate our values and what it means to be happy: there are only so many things we can give a f*ck about, he says, so we need to figure out which ones really matter.

From the writer whose blog draws two million readers a month and filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humour, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a welcome antidote to the 'let's-all-feel-good' mindset that has infected modern society.

One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had.

Will Smith's transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well. But it's only half the story.

Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over.

This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one exceptional man mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.

"You can become irresistibly attractive to women without changing who you are."

So says Mark Manson, superstar blogger and author of the international bestseller, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a self help book that packs a punch.

Mark brings the same approach to teaching men what they need to know about attracting women.

In Models he shows us how much it sucks trying to attract women using the tricks and tactics recommended by other books.

Instead, he says, men need to focus on seduction as an emotional process not a physical or social one. What matters is the intention, the motivation, the authenticity. To improve your dating life you must improve your emotional life - how you feel about yourself and how you express yourself to others.

Funny, irreverent and confronting, Models is a mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women by giving up the bullsh*t and becoming an honest broker.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.

We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.

What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.

Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself.

With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

Por el autor del best seller mundial El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mi*rda, esta guía provee consejos inesperados para lidiar y no vivir de la esperanza.

Vivimos en un momento muy interesante. En el aspecto material, este es el mejor momento que hemos vivido como sociedad, somos más libres que nunca, más sanos y más ricos que cualquier otra época en la historia de la humanidad. Sin embargo, de alguna manera, todo parece estar irreparablemente destruido: el calentamiento global, los gobiernos se equivocan constantemente, las economías colapsan y todo mundo se siente perpetuamente ofendido en Twitter. En este momento de la historia, en el que tenemos acceso a la tecnología, a la educación y a las comunicaciones, a la que nuestros antepasados ni siquiera podían soñar, muchos de nosotros nos sentimos desesperanzados.

¿Qué está sucediendo? Si alguien puede ponerle un nombre a nuestro malestar y ayudar a solucionarlo, ese es Mark Manson.

Manson publicó El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mi*rda, un libro en el que explicaba las razones que nos provocan ansiedad constante en esta vida moderna. Nos mostró que la tecnología nos había ayudado a preocuparnos por las cosas equivocadas, que nuestra cultura nos había convencido de que el mundo nos debía algo cuando no era así, y lo peor de todo, la obsesión moderna y enloquecedora de encontrar siempre la felicidad. Cosas que realmente solo sirven para hacernos más infelices. En cambio, el "sutil arte" de ese título resultó ser un desafío audaz: el de elegir tu lucha; para reducir y enfocar el dolor que deseas soportar. El resultado fue un libro que se convirtió en un fenómeno internacional, con más de seis millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo y número 1 de las listas de los más vendidos en más de trece países.

Ahora, en Todo está j*dido, Manson se adentra en los fallos que tenemos como seres humanos hasta las interminables calamidades que están sucediendo alrededor del mundo entero. Partiendo desde una investigación psicológica sobre estos temas, así como de la sabiduría eterna de filósofos como Platón, Nietzsche y Tom Waits, Manosn analiza la religión y la política y las diferentes formas en las que se han manifestado. Observa nuestras relaciones con el dinero, el entretenimiento e Internet, y como nos obsesionamos hasta consumirnos psicológicamente vivos. Desafía abiertamente nuestras definiciones de fe, felicidad y libertad e incluso de la esperanza.

Con su mezcla habitual de erudición y de un humor inesperado, Manson nos coge del cuello y nos desafía a ser más honestos con nosotros mismos para conectarnos con el mundo de maneras que probablemente no hayamos considerado antes.

Es otro juego intuitivo que busca entender el dolor en nuestros corazones y el estrés de nuestra alma. Uno de los grandes escritores modernos ha producido otro libro que servirá de pauta para los años venideros.

Sobre El sutil arte de que (casi todo) te importe una mi*rda:
«La capacidad de Mark para profundizar y ofrecer una visión contra-intuitiva sobre los retos de la vida hacen que sea uno de mis escritores preferidos». Matt Kepnes
«Lo contrario al resto de los libros. No lo intentes. Ríndete. Equivócate. Baja tus expectativas. Deja de creer en ti mismo.

Chega de tentar buscar um sucesso que só existe na sua cabeça. Chega de se torturar para pensar positivo enquanto sua vida vai ladeira abaixo. Chega de se sentir inferior por não ver o lado bom de estar no fundo do poço.

Coaching, autoajuda, desenvolvimento pessoal, mentalização positiva — sem querer desprezar o valor de nada disso, a grande verdade é que às vezes nos sentimos quase sufocados diante da pressão infinita por parecermos otimistas o tempo todo. É um pecado social se deixar abater quando as coisas não vão bem. Ninguém pode fracassar simplesmente, sem aprender nada com isso. Não dá mais. É insuportável. E é aí que entra a revolucionária e sutil arte de ligar o foda-se.

Mark Manson usa toda a sua sagacidade de escritor e seu olhar crítico para propor um novo caminho rumo a uma vida melhor, mais coerente com a realidade e consciente dos nossos limites. E ele faz isso da melhor maneira. Como um verdadeiro amigo, Mark se senta ao seu lado e diz, olhando nos seus olhos: você não é tão especial. Ele conta umas piadas aqui, dá uns exemplos inusitados ali, joga umas verdades na sua cara e pronto, você já se sente muito mais alerta e capaz de enfrentar esse mundo cão.

Para os céticos e os descrentes, mas também para os amantes do gênero, enfim uma abordagem franca e inteligente que vai ajudar você a descobrir o que é realmente importante na sua vida, e f*da-se o resto. Livre-se agora da felicidade maquiada e superficial e abrace esta arte verdadeiramente transformadora.

Durante los últimos años, Mark Manson -en su popular blog- se ha afanado en corregir nuestras delirantes expectativas sobre nosotros mismos y el mundo. Ahora nos ofrece su toda su intrépida sabiduría en este libro pionero.

Manson nos recuerda que los seres humanos somos falibles y limitados: "no todos podemos ser extraordinarios: hay ganadores y perdedores en la sociedad, y esto no siempre es justo o es tu culpa". Manson nos aconseja que reconozcamos nuestras limitaciones y las aceptemos. Esto es, según él, el verdadero origen del empoderamiento. Una vez que abrazamos nuestros temores, faltas e incertidumbres, una vez que dejamos de huir y evadir y empezamos a confrontar las verdades dolorosas, podemos comenzar a encontrar el valor, la perseverancia, la honestidad, la responsabilidad, la curiosidad y el perdón que buscamos.

Este manifiesto es una refrescante bofetada, para que podamos empezar a llevar vidas más satisfechas y con los pies en la tierra.
