Mark Manson’s Theory of Personal Growth ⭐⭐⭐ Book Review of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck"

from Limitless: Biohacking Brainpower, Health, Personal Growth & Beyond

This book, while well-written and entertaining, typifies a problem with the personal development sphere - a lack of rigorous empiricism. Mark Manson's self-help manifesto was a meteoric mainstream success, but I’ve got some fair criticism to level at it.All too often authors are mere theorists, not actual practitioners. In a lot of cases, authors will formulate a theory of personal growth that makes sense to them, they’ll have a couple of confirmatory personal experiences, and then they’ll enshrine it in writing as a recommendation for everyone.1:17 Rigorous empiricism vs crappy self-help advice8:10 Non-rigorous relationship advice: Absolute honesty12:47 The Feedback Loop from Hell14:44 On Positivity Obsession15:24 How Social Media Hijacks Happiness17:10 Suffering is a Feature NOT a Bug18:21 On Values & Choosing Your Problems19:12 On Victimhood20:45 The Enemy of Growth: Certainty21:30 On Identity22:18 Freedom in Commitment24:00 Stoicism 10125:10 Meditate on Death27:15 Red Pilled?29:33 Cultural Commentary & ConclusionRead 📑 Book Review - Everything mentioned herehttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/books/235-the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-f-ckOrder 💲 Bookhttps://amzn.to/2CUQEPxConfused?If you invest at least $100 in your Biohacking via LimitlessMindset.com, I will include a 30-minute free Biohacking consulting call with you.
