    About this audiobook

    New York Times Bestseller

    “Just because everything appears to be a mess doesn’t mean you have to be one. Mark Manson’s book is a call to arms for a better life and better world and could not be more needed right now.” — Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy

    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.

    We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. 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.

    What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.

    In Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, 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. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

      If you, like I are confused by the constructs of modern life. You only need to spend the time with this book. Deep within the pages Manson fits points that rattle present day life. The final chapter is magnificent. I only hope as well Mr. Manson! Well done!

      It's no "Sublte Art..." but it's ok. If you're offended by cursing please do everyone a favor and don't review this book (or any book with a curse word IN THE TITLE).
      Cursing doesn't bother me at all, bring it on.
      That said, I listened to and understood this book but I don't feel like I understand Mark's "point". What was the ultimate message he was trying to convey?
      It was more philosophy than psychology leaning, which is cool. It just felt repetitive in many places (e.g. giving MANY examples to make a point and/or belaboring a point) and could have been about 1/2 as long had he cut some of this out.
      Definitely a departure from Subtle Art.

      Failed in whatever purpose the book was written. The reader is left demotivated rather than uplifted.

      This was not a book about help, it was just a bunch of random information, some of it interesting.

      Perfection. Anyone who wants to make a change in the way they think about the present and their personal impact on the future should read this book. I read the hard copy while listening and plan on doing so again immediately and taking down notes. Ive been talking about it so much that now my boyfriend and coworkers are reading. I can honestly say it has made a huge impact on me and the way i think about my thinking and actions in my day to day living. Read it. Now.

      I would give it a 5/10, I enjoyed the first book way more and had high Hopes for this one but nope, too philosophical, a bit too long for the points he's trying to make... few good gems here and there but overall my reaction was Ehhhh so so .. first book was much better.

      If one has read the literary masterpieces from Yuval Noah Harrari, Steven Pinker, Daniel Khaneman and one wants to write a summary combining all of those together, refer to this book by the now millionaire Mark Manson (I HOPE you do not feel that this summary was FUC*KED).
      This book seems to be crash course on how to be inspired by great writings and write your own book based on the all that you gathered. I have been following Mark Manson from his not so glory days of blogging almost like 10 years back. I was a fan of his blogs and used to wait for his 14 minutes reads he posted on markmanson.net every fortnight or so. But I have to say that both the books he wrote mostly had shock value in the title and content. Probably vanity gets to your head and you find the easy way out when you've made lot of money. This book is good but not for someone who is reading/listening to books it has stole the inspiration from. It scores more points for making the core information more platable for the millennial genration. Maybe some more people get into the reading habit by reading the profoundly seeming messages it has tried to convey.
      I am just a little disappointed because I expect more from the author and not just copy pasting.

      I would give this a 7/10. "Subtle Art" (his first book) and 9/10.

      Everything is Fucked is still worth a listen/learn for sure. Builds upon the first book's perspective and elaborates further. Some longer, possibly more drawn out and redundant, stories in this compared to "Subtle Art" and I think I also prefer the voice reader of "Subtle Art".

      I think this book had a some good points but I’ve forgotten them all as it lost my interest. I fudge finish it nor did it leave me with ‘hope’. For the audiobook it’s very very monotoned and unenthusiastic - I tried several times to finish this book. Wouldn’t recommend. If you do read it - get the physical book.

      I would recommend his previous book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck”. In this book he introduces and covers a broader range of philosophical and cognitive science topics in laymen’s terms. However, his presentment of this information isn’t fully accurate or coherent. Still good exposure for a reader just starting into the genre or not looking to go far into it.

      His first book was insightful, well researched, and incredibly relevant. While I saw no reason for all the swearing I got past it because of the message conveyed. With this second book however, I couldn't even finish it. It made no sense to me and it just seemed nonsensical compared to the first book. I do NOT recommend this book.

      The book tied together many different ideas but at times felt too meandering. E.g. the “create your own religion” section seemed unnecessary to make the important points. The author’s first book seemed more powerful but this one also made some important statements about the dark side of hope.

      This book is great, covering aspect from our value system; the cognitive faculty, the concept of pain and how essential choosing our pain is, as well as Artificial intelligence .

      A very deep insight how we actually need pain in life to be purposeful and fulfill instead of avoiding pain.
