The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson, 212 pages
I am not one for self-help books, but given that there was a big ol' swear word in the title, I thought this one might be worth a look. Unfortunately, other than a few small quips that might stick in my head better with the bad words than their PG counterparts, this book was just... bleh. As he starts into anecdotes about his own life (and starts referencing female celebrities' body parts...why??), Manson's upper-middle-class-straight-white-guy privilege comes shining through, and this seems to be one of those things that he just doesn't give a f*ck about. The narrator for the audiobook also made some questionable accent/voice choices, and between that and Manson's weird attitude, I was very glad this was a short book. Feel free to just swear a bunch and skip it.
