The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
In this generation-defining self-help guide; a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be 'positive' all the time so that we can truly become better; happier people. For decades; we have been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy; rich life. 'F**k positivity;' Mark Manson says. 'Lets be honest; shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.' In his wildly popular Internet blog; Manson does not sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is a dose of raw; refreshing; honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling; lets-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation; rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Everything is F*cked by Mark Manson
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.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way.
He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes.
The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga
The Courage to be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves.
