The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F

Don't Try: The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. Paradoxically, the acceptance of one's negative experience is itself a positive experience，as pursuing something only reinforces the fact that you lack it in the first place.

Happiness Is a Problem: life itself is a form of suffering. It's the mildly dissatisfied and insecure creature that's going to do the most work to innovate and survive. Happiness comes from solving problems, and it requires struggle.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, authored by Mark Manson You Are Not Special: Teaching people to believe they're exceptional and to feel good about themselves no matter what doesn't lead to a population full of Bill Gateses and Matin Luther Kings. It leads to a population full of narcissistic Jimmys.

The Value of Suffering: People who focus their energy on superficial pleasures end up more anxious, more emotionally unstable, and more depressed. Once one is able to provide for basic physical needs(food, shelter…), the correlation between happiness and worldly success quickly approaches zero.

You Are Always Choosing: Victimhood chic. Do, or not do, there is no"how".

You're Wrong About Everything(But So Am I):Instead of striving for certainty, we should be in constant search of doubt. Be careful of what you believe and trust yourself less.

Failure Is the Way Forward: Pain is part of the process.

The Importance of Saying No: If nothing is better or more desirable than anything else, then we are empty and ourlife is meaningless. We are without values and therefore live our life without purpose. Don't forget boundaries.

…And then You Die: Once we become comfortable with the face of our own death——the root terror, the underlying anxiety motivating all of life's frivolous ambitions——we can then choose our values more freely, unrestrained by the illogical quest for immortality, and freed from dangerous dogmatic views.

总结：Prioritizing better values, choosing better things to give a fuck about. Because when you give better fucks, you get better problems. When you get better problems, you get a better life.
