 Description: 

We live in a time that is fascinating. Materially, everything is the best it has ever been. In human history, we are freer, healthier and richer than any person. Yet, everything appears to be irreparably and terribly f*cked somehow-the climate is warming, governments are struggling, economies are crashing, and on Twitter everyone is constantly offended. At this moment in history, when our ancestors couldn't even dream of access to technology, education and connectivity, so many of us come back to an overriding sense of hopelessness. What's happening here? It's mark manson if someone can put a name to our current malaise and help repair it. In 2016, Manson published a book that beautifully influenced the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates everyday life, the subtle art of not giving a f*ck. He showed us that technology made it too easy to think about the wrong things, that our society told us that when it didn't, the world owed us everything, and most of all, that our modern and maddening need to always find happiness just served to make us more miserable. Instead, the title's "subtle art" turned out to be a brazen challenge: to choose your fight; to narrow and concentrate and find the pain you want to sustain. The consequence was a novel that became an international sensation, selling millions of copies worldwide in 13 different countries and becoming the #1 bestseller. Now, Manson shifts his attention from the unavoidable weaknesses within each human self to the constant calamities taking place in the world around us in all that is f*cked. He dissects religion and politics, and the uncomfortable ways they have come to imitate each other, drawing from the pool of psychological studies on these subjects, as well as the universal wisdom of thinkers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits. He's looking at our relationships with money, entertainment and the Internet, and how mentally, too much of a good thing can eat us alive. He openly defies our ideals of faith, joy, liberty, and hope itself. Manson takes us by the neck with his typical blend of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, asking us to be more truthful with ourselves and linked to the world in ways that we certainly have not thought before. It's another counterintuitive romp through our heart's pain and our soul's tension. Another novel, which will set the pace for years to come, has been created by one of the great modern authors.
