BOOK OF THE WEEK – Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope by Mark Manson    

BOOK OF THE WEEK – Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope by Mark Manson 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. 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. If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, ...it's Mark Manson! Drawing from the pool of psychological research, 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. 展开
