For decades, we have been told that positive thinking is the key to a rich and happy life. But Mark Manson curses that "positive" and says: "To be honest, bad is bad and we have to live with this." Manson does not evade the facts and does not overlook them with sugar. Rather, he tells us what they are: a dose of pure, fresh, refreshing truth is what we lack today. This book is an antidote to the mentality that we are paving ourselves with, a mentality "Let us make sure that we all have a good feeling" that invaded contemporary society and spoiled an entire generation who were awarded gold medals just to come to school.
