Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope | Mark Manson | Talks at Google
We were joined in London by author Mark Manson for a fireside chat and audience Q+A to discuss his new book, Everything is F-ed, a follow on to The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F-k.
Mark hit something in the cultural Zeitgeist with his first book, which “gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living” and that book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.

His sense of humor in his books made me a fan of him 😍
When he talks about how the quality of life is better but people are unhappier, well I think of Maslow's hierarchy of needs . The higher up the pyramid you go the more introspective you get and most people have no clue who they are or what they stand for so they use society for clues and in a society that glorifies percieved perfection people get stuck in a rut of frustration that combined with a weak sense of self is the reason people are more negative regardless of having the best life quality in modern times.

Totally agree. Also, I'm old enough to remember when people had real connections with the people they called friends. I now see a strong reluctance to engage at a truly intimate level. Most people avoid any deep discussion, unable to handle disagreements with any measure of respect.

Awesome to see Mark evolve from the PUA/dating days and kicking so much ass. Enjoyed it a lot.

I'm socially awkward, suffer from low self esteem and have no experience with girls. and want to change that. I want something that will help me genuinely form spontaneous and honest connections, and not lead to to manipulate people. Hence I'm avoiding PUS stuff (I did get into it a bit in the past but now I'm avoiding that ) Any recommendations? Like, something that helps me with changing myself, becoming more comfortable with socializing, especially with girls, helps me with gaining confidence. So basically pua stuff, but with no manipulation.

@@PRATIK1900 try to put yourself into as many social situations as you can. Go to meetups, find a hobby where you are in a group of people. Ask strangers random questions (even if you know the answer). The lady that works in the supermarket has these nice earrings? Compliment her about them and ask her politely where she got them "because you want to get a present for your mom, sister, aunt". If you feel awkward about it, go ahead and actually say it! "Sorry for the possibly awkward question, but...." The idea is to develop a "muscle" of social interaction. The ability to just start a conversation with any stranger whenever you want (provided they don't have the look of a serial killer on their face). Some people will be rude, some people will be dismissive and you will learn to ignore it...but most people are nice or at the very least - civil. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

Thank you very much for the author and the publisher and everybody involved in creating this masterpiece, previously I was having A LOT on my plate with friendships, toxic family interactions, work, my posts on social media, my appearance, my income, and WHAT PPL THINK ABOUT ME and I was drowning and suffocating in all of the shit and I was depressed and pessimistic and thought "everything sucks", but after reading this book I've been feeling there's weights lifted off my shoulders, I still struggle with the amount of information and situations and problems I'm carrying but I'm practicing NOT GIVING A FUCK anymore, it is a training for me cuz if I let my mind wonders it starts to deal with crazy shits. Also I love how not-boring this book is! Reading this books helped me focus because it's not typical boring book, it grabbed my attention throughout and while reading this book I was released from the burden I was totally "in the moment" that was a freaking amazing experience.

Great Talk!! ..my 2 cents....do something very few others do. That's how I conquered my loathing of competition. And keep the Arts important by creating Things that can't be duplicated by A.I. "The Day" is returning😉
I love what he says about giving people the answer vs letting people get to the answer themselves. Someone that ik is smarter than me can give me an answer and I will know that they are probably right but I will keep doing my thing until I come to that answer myself, usually, because ik that's the only way that i will truly KNOW tje answer and not have a falling out of that answer later down the road....if that makes any sense.
When I moved to another country I didn't base my choice on what I could gain, I based it on "with what downsides can I live?"
As I am listening to this I wonder how many people have the read the books "Wild at Heart" & "The 5 Love Languages" I have read them both and they have helped me to understand women and myself a lot more than if I had not read them at all. I also listen to many different speakers on KZread talking about relationships, finances, purpose, a lot of insightful and life changing attitude adjusting material..I would recommend checking the material out and judging for yourself if it is beneficial or detrimental to your current life situations. May help may not can't hurt to know. God Bless You All!

I know this guy is for real and lived through what he says, isn’t just talking talk, because I wanted to stand up and clap every minute or so, around 20 minutes into the video, and was constantly surprised when people didn’t give him an ovation at ‘happiness is what you give up,’ ‘there’s a diminishing return to options,’ and so on. This guy is saying shit that resounds not only with my successful experiences with life, but all the failures too

Write a book called fuck your money and talk about community. Ive had money and lost it all during sad times and been happier having true friends around me for me and not for what I have or own. Simple life is best life. 3 things. Hope purpose community well spoken Mark
"Other books sucks, so I write a book which don't suck". At first I thought it was quite arrogant way of saying it. But really, the book never sucked. It changed the way I think, and I had my times unlearning what I did in the past. Just that, I don't think Mark fits in speaking out loud he's best at his writing to be honest.
This pairs well with the mindfulness book "30 Days to Stop Giving a Shit" by Corin Devaso.
cool
just wondering what else i could find in the 2nd book i like his ideas and vision about life I hope he isn't just writing the same thing to make money

He talks about meditation in the book, and how difficult really is to do, and encourage people to do it. He is not a religious person, as far as I know (even though he talks about a lot of "religions" but not in the traditional way) , but you can tell he likes Buddhism.

Hey Mark I had a confusion, hope you or anyone can clear it for me, in everything is f*cked there's a whole chapter where u say self control is an illusion, but then in the same book in the 2nd half of it in the chapter pain is the universal constant, u say antifragility is synonymous with growth and maturity, that the more antifragile we become the more control we exercise over ourselves, care to elaborate??

Self control is absolutely an illusion. Bcoz nowadays the self help industry and many influencers are marketing self control strategies. And we tend to believe that there's no self control within us, subsequently following those stupid ideas and losing hope within ourselves. This is what he's trying to tell us. Self control is not something that can be achieved by watching some random self help videos or reading dozen books. It's something that happens naturally without noticing. And he also suggests not to focus on self control since it is an illusion, instead focus on something meaningful.

38:40 Russian version of title has a slight profanity.. It says хреново... it's similar to f*cked. But it could be even more emotional than f*cked if it said пиздец pizdec...

too much "preaching" in today's self help literature
32:46 He *almost* understands what he's talking about. He *almost* gets it. He says throughout history things have always been F-CKD, but then he adds this exception: global warming is worse than anything previous generations experienced. Seriously? You've got to be kidding. Maybe he should read his own book again. There are NO EXCEPTIONS. Compared to generations of people who came before us, we are not exceptional. We need to get past this kind of self-centered infantile thinking.
