Story
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't 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*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Collection of stories
The book is put together by borrowing stories from many places. The whole Sumo story did not make sense at all. We can give beautiful meaning to any non-sensical scenario in the way the author has given in this book.
If that is the beauty of it, then maybe I don't know to enjoy.
Apart from the borrowed stories and the Sumo narrative, the overall message of the book was good.

Honestly... it's ok...
It has some interesting concepts that I would say serve more as reminders than new concepts.
The story doesn't really offer anything new either. The dialog between the main characters is almost laughable at times because it feels like the author is trying to hard to make the monk sound sage but it comes off as a little tacky.
3 stars because there were some interesting take-aways but unfortunately nothing new. I felt like I've heard different versions of this story hundreds of times. Unhappy rich man goes on a spiritual journey to seek enlightenment, discovers he had it within him the whole time if only he had changed his perspective, goes on to share the knowledge. Which I think is a good story but I felt like this book was very surface level in it's delivery.
Entertaining at times but not something that I would strongly recommend.

Some good points...but
I didnt learn anything that I didnt already know and it appears to me that the author was repeating himself over and over again. I try very hard to give a book a chance and I did make it through the book , however it was tedious. I also enjoy listening to my audiobooks on faster speeds and I could not enjoy the performance of this book. The speaker's accent was distracting to me. no matter what speed I adjusted it to. Sorry just not my cup of tea but maybe you will have a better experience from it than I did.

From the reviews I was hopeful this may be a good follow on from Eckhart Tolles “ the power of Now” and “ A New Earth”How wrong I was. If this is you first book on spiritual development then you may find it enlightening . I’m afraid I found completely unconvincing and badly written.

The ‘quotable quotes’ are excellent, as are the reviews of content every so often. I particularly liked the narrator’s delivery in this book. Will listen to it again.

Drivel
This is dreadful. I am not going to manage past chapter 4 - I've had it. This book is a tired old rehash of every basic, pseudo-Buddhist, 'The Secret' - type enlightenment manual ever written but with no new insights, no revellations, not even a new way of telling the same old story...in fact it assumes the reader has absolutely no knowledge of anything vaguely related to it and treats the subject as if it's something completely new, divulged only in this book.
The supposed meeting with a 'secret' clan of holy sages in Nepal who hold all the answers to life and are just waiting for some random traveller to find them so that they can immediately impart their sacred knowledge (in English, naturally) is cringingly painful.
I can only assume it's been written for children. It makes Harry Potter sound like Dickens.
Seriously, give us a break. Anyone buying such a book is unlikely to be a complete moron?
I tried just having this on in the background while getting on with other things in the hope it might have a redeeming feature. Sadly not.

Storytelling with real meaning
This is one of my favourite personal development books.
The story is simple believable and profound.
The author's website is a valuable resource to put into practice the lessons learned.
A real soul searching deep listen. Highly recommended x

Gawd.. please make it stop!
A friend recommended this book so I was originally looking forward to listening to it. But early on I began to doubt its authenticity. There's a point where Julian Mantle, whose 53 year old body has just had a massive heart attack, and performs like he's in his 70s, scales the Himalayan mountains by himself, despite the fact that the author has just explained that most fitter, more amply prepared climbers die doing so. And then, after just 7 days of searching, Mantle stumbles across a secret clan of monks who give him the secret of life. At this point I googled Julian Mantle and discovered he doesn't exist. From that point on the remainder of the book sounded ridiculous. I had to stop listening, it was just pissing me off.

You can't afford the luxury of an original thought
After a friend told me that this book changed their life I thought I would read it. I struggled through half of it then gave it away. It was full of cliches and amaturish poetic writing. After a few years I tried again, thinking I must have missed something. Nope. This is up there with the worst self help book I've ever read. It's like a one word summary of all other self help books.
Book notes.
Put only good thoughts in. You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought.
See the glass as half full.
Every negative experience has a valuable lesson in it for us.
To savour the good one must know the bad.
Practice creative visualisation.
Stop working at making a living. Instead work at making a life.
Words have power
The mind is a wonderful servant but terrible master.
The price of greatness is responsibility over your thoughts
If you want to live a more meaningful peaceful life then you need to think meaningful peaceful thoughts
All lasting change requires time and persistence
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity
The secret of happiness is to find what you love to do then spend your energy focussed on that. Then abundance flows.
Take the road less travelled
Meditate for 10 minutes per day.
Heard it all before but written in a far more interesting way by brilliant inspiring writers.
This book just felt fake and contrived.

alright but full of cliches
was alright but I found the story was packed with too many cliches. my main gripe
1) doing what you're passionate about is BS. the market doesn't give a shit what you're passionate about - focus on others and solving problems - not on your own selfish passions.
2)you need a certain level of financial stability to be at peace. find me a happy person living in poverty that lives in a westernised country... no amount of mental gymnastics or meditation will make those with bad cash flow happy.
there were some decent points but I found the story and character development lacking.

Incredibly impactful read!
This simple story condenses eastern life wisdom into a series of easy to understand steps, making these divine gems very accessible to an often skeptical Western audience.

The Alchemist meets Dr. Strange
I enjoyed this parable but I would have liked the lessons in the book to be shared more subtley like the Alchemist and for there to be more to the story :)

Full of cliches
I found the parable boring. A sting of cliches that was weaved into a hard to believe story. I enjoy both self help advice and parables but this was the worst of both worlds instead of the best.
