I opened this book expecting a sarcastic, kind of satirical commentary on emotions, and how to come across as cool and collected in front of others, but The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is actually very clever, and very well thought out. ![]() It makes more sense in the book, I promise. I think we all have that crisis-that’s-not-a-midlife-crisis-but-is-still-a-crisis at some point, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is a well-worded reminder that life is shit and we have to find the shit things that aren’t as totally shit as the other shit things so that the shitty parts of life aren’t as shitty as they could be. But for adults, this book is pretty damn good. Probably not the ideal bedtime story for your kids, unless you want them effing and blinding at nursery school. ![]()
