The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark MansonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wouldn't call myself a high strung person, I also wouldn't consider myself calm as a cucumber, regardless of my demeanor, I am always looking for different ways to manage the stress in my life. This book is awesome!
Did you know you don't need to be a rocket scientist or a famous movie star to be happy? You don't need gobs of money or even the esteem of your coworkers. You need to just come to terms with the fact that you are probably just average at everything. That's a bitter pill to swallow. Most of us aren't Michael Jordan or Stephen King and that's ok. They are extraordinary for a reason. In fact, just that word gives away their uniqueness. They are extra "ordinary", different from 99.9% of people on the planet.
I know that sometimes life doesn't seem fair. Your best friend lands an awesome job, your bitchy neighbor has been to Hawaii four times this year, your cousin bought a mini mansion. The secret to living your best life is not caring and embracing your non-specialness.
Sometimes you just have to say, "I don't give a f***."
