“Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope” is a brutally honest and controversial study of the state of mental health, happiness, and the search for meaning in the world today. Built on the multicolored commercial success of “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck,” Mark Manson now shifts his focus to the more complex experience of modernity, where, with arresting contradiction, the developed world is increasingly awash in angst and incomprehension, despite the material comfort and technological progress heaped upon it.
Throughout the book, Manson weaves philosophy, psychology, and self-help knowledge through his no-bullshit style in challenging the feel-good ideas of happiness and success. It seems that in this ever-deteriorating and increasingly chaotically progressing world of ours, hope can yet be found in confronting nature’s never-ceasing struggles of life. Manson covers such associated problems as the inadequacy of material success, the necessity of pain and struggling in the quest for meaning, and the social dogmas which structure our view toward success. He also alludes to the topic of emotional resilience and urged readers to experience discomfort as an indispensable part of personal development.
Drawing on historical tales, scientific evidence, and his own personal journey, “Everything Is Fucked” outlines—depressingly, but ultimately not without hope—how to find hope in dismal times. Manson writes with harsh honesty and incisive irreverence, making even the most sophisticated notions instantly approachable and shockingly obvious in their value for navigating the seemingly insurmountable problems of modern life
