Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment, and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive.

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.

Great book for amateur investors to avoid pitfalls

Publisher's Summary
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be positive all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
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.
Manson makes the argument, backed by both academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited - "not everybody can be extraordinary; there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault". Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f*ck about, so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

This book is interesting and meaninglessly meaningful. Whatever goes up comes down. The initial writings of the book gives way to a life we all live. So there is no new philosophy you can find in this Book. This also turns out to be another self help book.

EXTREMELY bizarre ending. Spoiler alert
The book starts off great in some banter and stories, the word 'fuck' is thrown around making Mark Manson ultra relatable. The middle is the usual content of self reflection/ self help. -You are part of your problem. It's a refreshing reminder to reevaluate your own thoughts. SPOILER ALERT The last chapter is a confusing near suicide attempt? The book ends with him speaking of how he inched closer and closer the the edge of a cliff and sat on the edge asking himself "if this is really it, if this is all there is?" His senses and body take over ultimately grounding him back in reality and leaves him feeling "alive" and hopeful. Not my idea of how to end a self help book. I understand the last words are hopeful but the last 10 minutes literally put you on the edge of cliff "taking microsteps" inching closer until your legs are dangling over the edge.... rather an inappropriate ending for people that had just invested hours and dollars into self help. I really liked the book up until the last chapter. The last chapter has completely distracted me from the over all message. I dont think I'd recommend although there were several spots I bookmarked and made notes. Wont be buying his other book.

Ill save you 5 hours 17 minutes....
Basically, apply the mantra "I don't give a f##k" to things that don't matter. Essentially, be responsible, but take chances when opportunity presents itself... Question: "Should I apply for this higher position even though I feel I'm not qualified?" Answer: "F##k it. I'm applying. " The result is you either get the job, or you don't get it. If you get the job, you would have never gotten it if you hadn't said f##k it. If you don't get the job, that's also okay as you are still alive and there will be plenty of opportunities for you as long as you at least recognize them, so F##k It ! That's pretty much it.

Its really directed at frustrated young men.
This book is very much directed at and written for angry/frustrated young males and that type of that demographic. It's deliberately not clear in the title or outer cover. So its a waste of money for the rest of us because its clearly written with the kinds of narrative and concepts that would be important to mostly young men or men who "want to feel young". Buddist concepts as well as thoughts on prioritizing or eliminating feelings, things, goals and people unless they truly matter are repeated over and over, The book has some concepts that were good in that they encourage emotional balance in cases where an individual may be overloading themselves. However, it seems like he's encouraging the reader to constrict in social/emotional growth and relationship maturity in many important ways by radical avoidance as oppose to thoughtful selection. I find the advise therein limited in a long term and practical use even for the selected demographic. So, it seems shallow and very casual in terms of encouraging truly life altering change.

A book for 20-somethings, but not me
I think The Subtle Art... might have had more impact upon me if I was 20-something instead of 59-years-old. The language isn't really an issue (it just becomes another word that doesn't even seem to have much meaning); it's more that Manson is repetitive and doesn't offer anything original that most people haven't learned for themselves in a few decades of experience. For me, the same ideas are expressed much more elegantly, cogently, and thoroughly in The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman.

The author doesn't give a 'F*ck' about your time
I think their is some merit to the ideas of Mark Manson, but they do not give enough content for a whole book, which was rather a waste of time. The first parts of the book were interesting, but later on it was just dragging on and on with no real content. Most of the writing is " I think" rather than "I know" - there are rarely examples or evidence. It's like a living-room chat with a friend.
You could probably sum this book up in a 20 min TED talk without losing anything that matters...

AKA common sense, and buddhism reframed
Is there anything you would change about this book?
No
Would you recommend The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck to your friends? Why or why not?
Not really, most are smarter than that
What aspect of Roger Wayne’s performance would you have changed?
He was the best part about the book
Did The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to disconnect from my Social Media
Any additional comments?
This is really basic, simple shit. I can imagine if you have no familiarity with the basic principles of Buddhism and Taoism, you might dig this. Its basic philosophy rephrased with significantly more uses of the word Fuck.

NGAF - Not as simple as it sounds
Part of me bought this book because I thought it was funny and quirky, part of me bought it because I was sick of giving a f*^k about so many little things that ate up my day, I didn't have any energy for the things that really mattered.
This book isn't about throwing everything to the wind and turning in to a useless blob. It's about giving f^*ks where f^*ks deserve to be given, placing your f^*ks where they're going to do you good instead of drag you down. I highly recommend it, but if you pass on it, I really don't give a f^*k.

But then about 20% of the way into this it is abundantly clear there is no substance. As soon as the humour thins out and the author starts going into lecture mode he’s out of his depth. Very simple anecdotes that have been heard in various guises many times over. Then it seems to turn into a platform solely for the author to constantly tell us how many sexual conquests he has supposedly had. Most people know the psychology behind that. It took so much effort to try and get through this increasingly mundane and narcissistic book but I finally gave up when the author made himself out to be some sort of holier-than-thou deity because... he’s so honest. So honest that he doesn't refrain from telling his wife if she doesn't look good before nights out, resulting in her storming off in obscenity laden huffs. What amazingly profound, deep and admirable people. But most of all...honest. I was thinking about stating what a rip off this book is, then it dawned on me - I bought a book that clearly states on its cover, in no uncertain terms, that you shouldn’t care about anything. What a mug I am! This guy is really funny.

This is a horrible book.
This book is dreadful. It has no soul. Just a load of nonsense sewn together with even more swearwords. Boring and uninspiring- a waste of a credit.

The word fuck has been burnt into my eardrums
This audiobook would’ve been alright if the word fuck wasn’t repeated literally 5 times in every sentence. I consider myself a pretty liberal person, and maybe it was just the annoying American accent, but it feels like using fuck constantly was just a way to make up the word count. This audiobook has no substance, the narrator is annoying, and the author comes across like a massive knob pretending to be down to earth. It’s not funny or enlightening - don’t download.

Terrible, lazy, uninformed.
Author somehow put a big long rant into chapters and called it a book. So many mistakes . Was there any editing at all? Waste of money. 1 star because I had to give at least 1.

First half interesting, second half meh
The first part of the book, with its slight over use of vulgar language, gives a different perspective on how to approach life. I liked the description of where best to place your "f**ks to give".
Unfortunately the second half of the book descends into waffle about the authors life experiences, which are not particularly interesting.

Awful narrator
The book contains many self praising statements and anecdotes where the author glorifies himself to sometimes cringeworthy levels, but the message is agreeable. The book could have the same effect as a 20 page essay, most of it seems to be filler and personal anecdotes.
What absolutely ruins the experience is the narrator. With the most condescending voice, he emphasises curse words like an edgy teen like the rest of a sebt and mimics the voices of women in falsetto

Just ok
There are a couple of good points in this book and it is funny sometimes, but there is nothing new and I got bored by the end.

Below average, basically a simplistic view on stoicism
Really?? I gave it 2 stars as far play he wrote it, but this isn’t new at all, he’s basically handed in someone else’s homework... That’s a credit I’ll never get back... the narrator was fine, easy to listen too. The actually content of the book is average at best, I can’t think for the life of me why it’s received so many 5 stars, it’s not new or revolutionary, it’s basically rehashed stoicism theory with a load of bland personal stories trying to back up the points.. Personally there are better books, I listened it to see what the hype was about, now I wish I’d saved the credit for something more interesting... that’s my personal take on it..

Odd
After scintillating start, I found it developed into a collection of uncorrelated ramblings . I hoped for instruction and less observation. Maybe I'm missing the point.

Self-help for beginners
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, it's a good, simple book for those who've never undergone any cognitive behavioural therapy.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
It's a simple overview of self-help tactics that appear in more technical/academic books.
Which character – as performed by Roger Wayne – was your favourite?
Same character the whole time. At times he came across as a little obnoxious, but that was a true performance of the material within the book.
Was The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck worth the listening time?
Yes, it's shorter than other books that cover similar points - I listened to the whole thing on a six-hour drive.
Any additional comments?
If you liked this, I recommend The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris.

Great hook, great narrator, little payoff
This starts out really punchy, with great humour. But it soon descends into cookie-cutter self help preaching. Ironic that it points out the problems with exceptionalism early on, then goes on to base lessons around the stories of exceptional people. The book may offer some perspective for younger adults, but if you're pushing middle age you've already learned what's worth giving a f*ck about.

WTF
Just another self-help book that has you nodding in places but leaves you empty. The fuck word is completely unnecessary but obviously used to boost sales. In a nutshell you're going to die, so make sure you care about the important things in life.

Omg. Wow. From someone so young - wisdom.
Loved this book. Extraordinary in its simplicity - particularly touched by the last chapter. Having recently lost my father and working out my own life - and his legacy.

A great piece of the puzzle..
Prior to reading this book I had herd conflicting reviews. I personally found this book to be quite refreshing and thought provoking. Whilst this book is by no means a silver bullet I feel it's a fantastic piece of the puzzle. I think this is perhaps a book that gets mixed reviews depending on where in life that particular person may be. If all aspects don't particularly appeal to you at this stage, reread it in the future when your circumstances or mindset starts to change. The book is not a shallow as the title may suggest, I have definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

Too much of a smart ass for me
Couldn’t listen to anymore of this beyond an hour ... he’s just too much a condescending smartass ... listen to the 5 second rule ... it’s incredible and the writer actually sounds like she’s cares.

Not what I expected, all the happier for it
I thought this would be some regurgitation of how not to care about stuff but it's definitely not that. Well worth the listen.

The author is all over the place with his contents
There was a lot of philosophy from many different religions. However everything come down to just one very simple thing. Grow up and accept your responsibility and don't muddle in non important affairs.
