082 Highlights From The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck

LISTENER WARNING: As you can probably tell from the title, there are a few swear words in this week's episode. That's because I'm talking about my 5 highlights from Mark Manson's book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*uck." This book isn't about becoming nihilistic. It's about choosing carefully where to place your care and attention. The 5 concepts I loved most about this book are: 1. "Not giving a fuck does not mean being indifferent... 2. "Often the only difference between a problem being painful or being powerful is a sense that we chose it." 3. "We don't go from 'wrong' to 'right.' Rather, we go from wrong to slightly less wrong." 4. "The magnitude of your success is based on how many times you've failed at something." 5. "Without conflict there can be no trust." If you've read the book, I'd love to hear what you thought of my choices of highlights. If you haven't read the book, go get it already! It's a quick read.
