A Counterintuitive approach to living a good life. This is a book by MARK MANSON, it is a nonfiction book that contains nine chapters having many short, interesting stories in between the chapters.
The world that we live in demands much from us leaving many people to care too much about the things that surround them how do we care less?
simple, we don't, Manson describes principles that we can all use to create a life on our terms, not beholden to others' influence or demands.
The philosophical nature of his arguments is similar to reading academic literature on philosophy but told humorously and annoyingly. Do not be put off by the title. The arguments and thoughts of the author are profound, suggesting ways for us all to find the things that we care about the most and focusing solely on these.
I enjoyed the storytelling ability of the author when analyzing topics that could be quite dry otherwise.
This all build up to into a book that inspires to create a mindset that cannot be influenced by anyone or anything.
