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.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face—we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

Kennen Sie diese Situation? Der Mitarbeiter ruft an: "Chef, wir haben ein Problem." In der Folge hört dieser aufmerksam zu, und am Ende des Gespräches hat plötzlich der Chef das Problem des Mitarbeiters. Auf geheimnisvolle Weise hat sich der "Monkey" vom Mitarbeiter zum Chef herübergehangelt und sitzt nun vergnügt auf der Schulter des Chefs. Der Autor zeigt auf, mit welchen raffinierten Strategien Mitarbeiter versuchen, ihre Monkeys zurückzudelegieren und wie man sich als Chef davor schützen kann, um sich endlich wieder auf seine Kernaufgaben konzentrieren zu können und nicht in Überstunden zu versinken.
