Flitered Review....The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck

The subtle art of not giving a fuck points out some of the censored truths of our life in the most ruthless way.

Obviously, the author doesn't give a fuck whether you liked it or not as facts aren't based on someone's likes or dislikes. This is the beauty of this book( you can call it a self-help guide).
Well, I will not recommend it for the gentleman kind of person who doesn't like abusive languages although its quite entertaining( blink of an eye).
   My friend, this book pierces your soul with some bitter truth and thus makes you more aware of yourself, practically. It doesn't give you a fake console and at the same time guides you to deal with your shits. I really felt connected with last two chapters specially the way author illustrated about his adventure and loved the way in which importance of choosing a priority in life is explained.
Although there are certain units, where author doesn't get straight to the point and just keeps on revolving around the same topic.
In short, if you are the kind of person who easily gets confused, being unable to handle your emotions and finds it difficult to choose your priority. I think, you should read it once.                       
                                                                                                                                                                        
                               Here are some of the one-liners and short paragraphs which grabbed my attention.

  •  "The point isn't to get away from the shit.    The point is to find the shit you enjoy dealing with." 
  •  "    The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience.            Paradoxically,the acceptance of one's negative experience is itself a positive experience".                                                  
  •  " Certainty is the enemy of growth . Uncertainty is the root of all progress and all growth. As the old adage goes, the man who believes he knows everything learns nothing".
  • " Absolute freedom, by itself, means nothing". 
  • " Avoiding rejections gives us short-term pleasure by making us rudderless and directionless in the long term".
  • " No one trusts a yes man. The pain in our relationship is necessary to cement our trust in each other and produce greater intimacy". 
  • " Commitment gives you freedom because you are no longer distracted by the unimportant and frivolous. It hones your attention and focus, directing them toward what is most effective at making you healthy and happy". 
             
So, this was all about the book. I hope , you will find it helpful and would save your precious time.
