This blog is about 15 best lines or quotes or learning from this book called "The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck" by "Mark Manson". This is a super amazing book. This is one of my best reads of 2021. In this book the word "f*ck" is referred as giving more importance to something or giving more attention to something. The way this book is written is so amazing that, you always feel that the author is actually talking to you.
This book is for everyone, who wants to understand how the things are in real life. The most important thing this book tells you is what are the things you should give importance to, why do they require more attention and how you can do it. There are more amazing things that you will get to know as you read this book. For now enjoy some of my key learnings.
Let's start
Emotions are part of equation of our lives, but not the entire equation.
The concept of Hedonic Treadmill: The idea that we are always working hard to change our life situation, but we actually never feel very different.
Happiness requires struggle. It grows from problems.
Real, serious, lifelong fulfillment and meaning have to be earned through the choosing and managing of our struggles.
You can't have a pain-free life. It can't all be roses and unicorns all the time.
People want the reward and not the struggle. People are in love with victory not the fight.
Who you are is defined by what you are willing to struggle for.
Our struggle determines our success.
Entitlement is failed strategy, it's just another high. It's not happiness.
Self-awareness is like an opinion. There are multiple layers to it.
Our values determine the nature of our problems, and nature of our problems determines the quality of our lives.
We get to control what our problems mean based on how we choose to think about them, the standard by which we choose to measure them.
If you want to change how you see your problems, you have to change what you value and/or how you measure failure/success.
The question is not whether we evaluate ourselves against others; rather, the question is by what standard do we measure ourselves?
Pleasure is great, but it's a horrible value to prioritize your life around
This book is super amazing all the lines mentioned above are from some few pages in the middle of the books. I am going to make more blogs like this. I post my "Best Lines" blog every Monday 9 am. So stay tuned for another one.
Have a Great Day
