From the mind behind the global sensation The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fck*, Mark Manson returns with a bold, no-holds-barred exploration of the paradox of hope in today’s world.
We’re living in a fascinating contradiction. On the surface, life has never been better—never have we been freer, healthier, or wealthier. Yet, despite all our advancements, the world feels deeply, irreversibly f*cked. The planet is in peril, governments are failing, economies are crumbling, and Twitter’s full of outrage. In an era where technology, education, and communication are at our fingertips—things our ancestors could only dream of—we’re overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness.
So, what gives? Who better to dissect this existential crisis than Mark Manson? In his breakout bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fck*, Manson revealed how modern life’s endless distractions and obsession with happiness were driving us further away from true contentment. His solution? Choose your struggle. Focus on the things that truly matter, and embrace the pain that comes with them.
Now, in Everything Is Fcked*, Manson shifts his focus from the flaws within ourselves to the chaos surrounding us. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and the wisdom of figures like Plato, Nietzsche, and even Tom Waits, Manson tackles everything from religion and politics to the dangers of overindulgence in money, entertainment, and the internet. He challenges our ideas of faith, happiness, freedom, and—yes—even hope itself.
With his signature mix of sharp insight and irreverent humor, Manson urges us to confront the uncomfortable truths about our world, our society, and ourselves. Everything Is Fcked* is a provocative, counterintuitive journey through the modern-day struggles of the human heart and soul. Prepare yourself for another game-changing read from one of the most compelling voices of our time.
