I don't give a **** how to live a good life and become a happier person. A transcription of the subtle art of not giving a **** by Mark Manson 2016 by Matthew J. Woz the feedback loop from ****. There's a catch 22 in your brain that you might not even be aware of. But if you let it persist. But let me describe the situation that might be quite familiar to the average person. You're stressed about meeting your new supervisor next week. You're so stressed that you're absolutely paralyzed and all you can think about is your stress. You start stressing about the stress you're taking on and then you get even more stressed because you're stressed about being stressed. You eventually die of a heart attack caused by high blood pressure. I kid I kid, but you get the idea right. The cycle Ukraine is called the feedback loop from ****. You may think that you're the only person who could be such a loser to constantly put yourself in this feedback loop. But actually we are all losers. This is human nature. We are the only animals on this planet that can have thoughts about our own thoughts. You can't help but feel that everyone is moving forward with their lives while you're stuck in your mother's basement writing anonymous hate mail to your Uber eats driver for forgetting to give you extra napkins. The social media influencer, you obsessively stock just announced a multimillion dollar brand deal. The random couple on T. V. Just won an all paid cruise around the world and a million dollars in the couple down the street. You get the idea the world is beating you down, Who can fault you for wallowing in your own self pity. The social media culture has created a whole new society of people who believe that negative thoughts and experiences like anxiety, guilt and fear are common experiences. The feedback loop from **** has made many of us insecure self hating and overly anxious maniacs back in the day your ancestors would wake up feel like absolute ship and think to themselves dang nab it. I feel like a pig off to slaughter today but I guess se la v time to get back to milking the cows Now if you feel like crap for even a second you're overwhelmed with pictures of perfect people living perfect lives. That's the magic of social media. You feel that there must be something inherently wrong with you because everyone around you is having a **** of a time. We engaged in the loop all the time and then we ask ourselves what is wrong with us to fix this issue. Remember our mantra from earlier, just do not give a ****. This will revolutionize the world and it's going to save the world by accepting that the world has gone to ship. It will only go deeper to ship but that's okay because it's always been shipped and always will be you have to just say it to accept it. Reaching for the stars will stop you from collecting the stars that have already fallen to the ground or some other self help, overly self aggrandizing ********. When you give too many folks, you become entitled to be happy at all times and this entitlement is a disease. You can't have everything just the way you want it. And you have to accept that the subtle art of not giving a fun. When people imagine giving no fox, they imagine a person who does not react to anyone and remains calm in the face of all storms. Another name for a person like this is a psychopath. Why would you want to be a psychopath? So to help explain the proper way of not giving any fox. Let's look at three subtleties provided by Manson subtlety. Number one. Not giving a fucky is not synonymous with being indifferent. It means to be comfortable with being different. Indifference usually means that people give too many folks in this giving of too many folks leads them down a dark path where people compensate for caring too much by pretending not to care at all. These people usually troll the internet, trying to tear everyone else down. They care about what other people think of their hair so they never bother caring for it. These people are afraid so they think of themselves as unique beings with problems that no one else has. The truth is you can't just not give a funk about anything. You must give a funk about something. It's in our nature to care and give a ****. The question is, what should we give a funk about? What should we choose to give a funk about? And how can we not give a funk about? What doesn't matter? The truth is making this choice can make you a jerk to some and a hero to others. It can't be an essential character to some without also being an ******* to others. No matter where you go, you can't escape from adversity and obstacles as such as life. That's perfectly fine and the point isn't to run from it, but to find ship that you like dealing with subtlety. Number two, if you don't want to give a funk about adversity, you first have to give a funk about something greater than adversity. When you observe a middle aged woman yelling at a grocery store clerk over an expired coupon, you are actually looking at someone who doesn't have anything better than the coupon in their life to give a funk about. If you think you don't have too many problems, then the mind automatically creates some to remain busy. If you don't find something worthy of giving any fox, then you'll keep giving folks about meaningless ****, wasting your life away subtlety number three, even if you don't realize it, you are always choosing what to give a funk about? People are simply born giving too many fox Children will cry about things that we deem frivolous, but obviously they deem important. They give a funk about those frivolous things while we don't as we get older and become more experienced, we realize that some things require more fox than others. And that's the joy of growing up. Plus many other negative side effects such as back pain, knee pain and what am I forgetting? Oh yes! Death. We make this choice to give more faqs about certain things over others is because those things we don't give a funk about anymore, have little impact on our lives ever remember any specific details about that annoying guy in the subway listening to his music without headphones, where his eyes blue or green. What did he look like? The answer is no, you don't. Then why do you obsess over what strangers will think of you if you lose your balance on the bus? When you realize that most people won't notice if you didn't wear matching socks or if you talked a little too loudly on the bus, it will be a freeing experience. People are selective about their folks because we only have somebody to give. And this is called maturity. Then what happens as we get older and have less energy to fight ourselves all the time. So we learned to accept ourselves, even the parts that we aren't happy about and this can be liberating. The fox are now selectively given and we just accept life for what it is. We accept that maybe we aren't going to save the world, Maybe it's enough to just be. We now give fox to the meaningful things in life, like our friends and family. So the moral of the story is to be like Bukowski and don't try.
