NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.

We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn't even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn't—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the "subtle art" of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.
Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. 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. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven't considered before. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

this guy is like Malcolm Gladwell, all empty-calorie pages that people are catching on to, albeit slowly

You don't need hundreds of pages to figure this out — here it is in one paragraph. A small group of people use phony science to create one fake crisis after another and then convince everyone else that they are living under the shadow of impending doom for the next 30 to 50:years (I.e., not within any period of time that the crisis creators can be proven wrong). Remember in the 60s and 70s how the ":population bomb" was going to kill everyone by starvation by the year 2000? Remember the global cooling crisis in the 60s ,70s and early 80s ? It was "settled science" that Miami would be under a glacier by 2050. Then in the 1990s the crisis became how NYC was going to be under water by 2016 if we didn't stop global warming. The formula is always the same and the results are always the same - we all must live in a state of constant anxiety and fear until the predicted date comes and goes and then it is on to the next fake science crisis.

Long before this book, Michael Crichton wrote, "State of Fear". Excellent.
