Dude, this book made a big impact for me as a father. Once I gave into the idea that my kids don't have thinking brains and that my job is to pay attention to their feelings and realize that all of their actions are driven entirely by their feelings, I turned into a much better dad.
This book was so good, I read it over 4 times. Here is my most favorite part of the book. We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling about on a tiny blue speck. We imagine our own importance. We invent our purpose-we are nothing.
New York Times and international bestselling author summarize his new book free for not five but fourty five minutes, yet there are still people who dislike the video.. what a time to be alive.. Thanks Mark, love from Turkey
"A philosophy book disguised as a self-help book" as he described it at a talk in Google. Authors like you are the philosophers and great thinkers of our time. Respect!
I'm from Brazil and your work is well known around here. Thanks for making this channel, your sincere way of trying to help people is an inspiration to me!
I've read many reviews about how people find Mark's writing to have an overuse of the word 'fuck' and unnecessary cussing throughout, etc. This is a perfect example of people completely missing the point. The pure refreshment of a raw and contrasting book with no fucks given is exactly what many people need to hear right now. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear and in some cases that teacher just so happens to be a book like this one. So many lessons and a glimpse of actual light in the already very messy world of self help books!
Books are very limited medium. He told correctly - our feelings much more impact actions than logical side. IMO much better tool is games, because better immerses and easier to create appropriate stimulus.
The use of obscene or taboo language - or swearing, as it’s more commonly known - is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence. Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language. While swearing can become a habit, we choose to swear in different contexts and for different purposes: for linguistic effect, to convey emotion, for laughs, or perhaps even to be deliberately nasty. Psychologists interested in when and why people swear try to look past the stereotype that swearing is the language of the unintelligent and illiterate. In fact, a study by psychologists from Marist College found links between how fluent a person is in the English language and how fluent they are in swearing. The former - verbal fluency - can be measured by asking volunteers to think of as many words beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet as they can in 1 minute. People with greater language skills can generally think of more examples in the allotted time. Based on this approach, the researchers created the swearing fluency task. This task requires volunteers to list as many different swear words as they can think of in 1 minute.
I never cared about the constant cursing, sometimes it made me laugh. I found others problems with the books that I won't list, yet I enjoyed the lessons nonetheless. If you get easily offended or annoyed by a word like f, then you're definitely missing the whole point of the book
The religion/cult part is true in all circuits. That’s why I see it as an important thing for my daughter to connect with as many bubbles as possible. Bubbles as family, school, friends and hobbies, later in life hopefully a beneficial work environment. If one turns toxic, others will still be there. I think that is valueable for the mental condition.
I believe that this is the reason for the demise of the human condition and I am not sure what you mean by bubbles in which your daughter is being brought up in, besides what is on the surface, in relation to the dynamic of this religion and cultic BS???
@@chasecook3647 I think we are misunderstanding each other. It’s more about the in-group/out-group dynamic. So try to find more in-groups to fit into to minimize the risk of being isolated if you become unwanted in any of them. Hope the book clears it up a bit.
@JustAnother Nick and the problem is that I am a big overthinker and perception can change from day to day, right, but I do see some validity in what you're saying. . . I have a question for you: Do Yall ever wonder how God in His infinite Wisdom, how He has connected all of the events, past, and present, and future into this NOW that we all know to be "reality" (How we perceive those very things - -PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE. . . It was just a thought And I think of it as a big spider 🕸️ web, a network of sorts, where God has worked out all of our fears, our faults, and our failures and kind of woven them into a single path that leads to Him and ahhhhh ugh, I wish that I could put it into better words!
@@chasecook3647 I think I understand somewhat where you are in this dilemma. And I don't think there are words to do it justice. I don't believe there is a God but still I choose to believe in some spiritual form of hope and optimism even though I see more of the opposite all around is. It's a form of acceptance of not being able to control and not wanting to control the future. God isn't relevant to me but I would like to believe in optimism and the betterment of coming times. What can I do about it? My best, and I have to accept that. Hope you sort of grasp what I tried to argue for here. All the best to you!
As an independent writer, don’t be afraid to speak up your mind, even if that means losing or polarizing some readers. You keep doing you and readers are gonna like you for the right reasons; like for being genuine and unapologetic.
Hey man I am from India and a huge fan of you too...A friend of mine suggested your book and I bought and read it. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I was having a really hard time and your book help me get through it. I used to read so many self help books and none of them has been so damn convincing like yours. To be frank, it really helped me...Thanks man:)
100% agree. As a 22 year old college student in an area where there is an insane of pressure to get married young, reading Models eased so many of my worries. Such an underrated book.
Just finished Everything is f*cked and I cant tell you how many times I highlighted passages from the book. It is definitely one of the best self-help books I have ever read. It's a book that has become part of my psyche in a way. I cant help but look at the world through the lens of this book now. Chapter 7: Pain is a universal constant was so brilliantly written I think I am going to read it every few days to help me keep perspective of my own struggles through life.
I liked Subtle Art but I absolutely loved Everything Is. I'm also pleasantly surprised that I understood Chapter 4. Thanks Mark for creating this wonderful piece of work.
I don't know how, but this guy managed to put all the things I wanted to know more about in one book. All themes he talks about are so interesting, even themes like AI that I never had interest in he explains so simply. You can really see the difference between his last book and this one. He has grown so much as a writer. He is a modern day philosopher and I am so glad people see his work. He is truly a genius.
Mr. Mark, that book is a masterpiece! I loved it because it's dark and we share the same beliefs, wisdom should be thought provoking and uncomfortable!
The only thing I’ve ever memorized came from The Subtle Art… “Don’t trust your conception of Positive or negative experiences. All that we know for certain is what hurts in the moment and what doesn’t, and that’s not worth much.”
I wish every author did this. You describe the book in a way that hyped it up but doesn’t completely spoil it. Appreciate you dude, I’m picking this up after I finish Subtle Art 💪🏻🤙🏻
I accientally stumbled upon the book during my vaction in an airbnb house in Iceland. Started to read it and continued quickly all to the end. This book is, in my opinion, one of the best books in the so called self help category. In particular it really opened up my eyes to how struggle and pain is really necessary for our feeling of purpose, meaning and happiness in life. It just have to be pain we feel is worth it. That having to struggle is not a bad thing and we should not expect life to just be all fun and happy all the time. Also very entertaining to read.
About to finish it ..just a fee pages left This video literally just came in time!! I am completely blown away by the book Probably the best investment i would ever make on buying books😭♥
This book was a hard read especially since I already do struggle with depression, nonetheless it is a very important read. The feeling brain really does suck & it can also be a useful tool you use to get you what you want. All of these chapters & concepts are important concepts to learn about & speak about, although this can be a hard process. By the way, Witold Pilecki was an ordinary man who was just trying to do the right thing, he had fears like the many of us & despite them still decided to act. We all have the power to do that & most of us probably won't due to fear.
I like that u wrote what u wanted to write about . I don't care whether your books are bestsellers or not , I just love all of the work that you do. Thank you and keep going. The world needs you.
Mark, I had to stop washing the dishes to tell you that I LOVE CHAPTER FOUR!!! Okay, need to go continue my chores whilst listening. Thanks! Love both books!
Loved the book and how much it’s stretched your work. Been reading you “religiously” since back in postmasculine (circa 2010) days and love to see your evolution as a person and professional!
To build and maintain hope, we need three things: a sense of control, a belief in the value of something, and a community. “Control” means we feel as though we’re in control of our own life, that we can affect our fate. “Values” means we find something important enough to work toward, something better, that’s worth striving for. And “community” means we are part of a group that values the same things we do and is working toward achieving those things. Without a community, we feel isolated, and our values cease to mean anything. Without values, nothing appears worth pursuing. And without control, we feel powerless to pursue anything. Lose any of the three, and you lose the other two. Lose any of the three, and you lose hope.
One of my favorite quotes you said was when someone asked you at a press conference type deal, and audience member asked about why everything feels f***** and your response was "When was everything not f******?" loved that idea! Easy to forget all of the problems humanity has already faced in the past and somehow the world kept turning
I really did enjoy this book. I loved that idea of self-help through philosophy. One of the main parts that stuck out was when he says something along the lines of “people will go to self-help or self-development to say ‘show me the rules of the game, and I’ll play.’” I realized I was reading for the wrong reasons. Not so I could be a better person but so I could appear to be a better person. That final chapter did throw me for a loop lol Interestingly enough, it motivated me. Talking about how AI has the potential to take over and put us essentially in the Matrix is horrifying and I hate it 😂 Because of that, I got motivated. Motivated to accept. Bring on life as it comes. Every emotion, good laugh, and bad fight, I’m here for it. As long as the grass is real and I’m not in a robot-induced coma, it’s worth being a part of
I'm an astrologer (yes that's right, an astrologer) with a psychological background. I've spent the last few years in research studying the dialects of light and much of what you are describing in this book including the arc that you captured in the book structure itself, is exactly the thinking/feeling dialectic reflected in the astrological luminaries. Brilliant (pun intended).
I found your chapter regarding the Hedonic treadmill and the folly of the Pursuit of Happiness to be what spoke most to me. Our society is indeed so focused on personal satisfaction that they don’t really live with purpose; and as a result, can’t handle when things cause them discomfort. Pain is a virtue and we should not be afraid to face it in order to be better. No such thing “Happily ever after”. A good life is where you live till you die with conviction and meaning.
50 pages into this book, which i randomly found... wait, actually, the book found me out of nowhere, and that made me do some research about the author, and i think I've got a huge crush on him,😂 never knew self help book could be this mind blowing
This is the book that made me fall in love with philosophy, its a deep book and it opened me to some great authors like Nietzche, Kant, Hegel, Plato, Spinoza and I cant stop reading them haha, thanks for this great book Mark.
Ashamed to say this has been sitting on my Audible queue for a while, bumping it up the list. I loved Subtle Art. There is so much depth to Mark's analysis of the human condition and what we can do to optimise it. I can also recommend subscribing to his weekly email.
I have never read self-help books like yours, this is why I will be keeping them on the Shelf to reference whenever I am in a funk. I especially enjoy the stories you used to exemplify your points (e.g. the Japanese soldier who was so filled with absolute certainty and pride that he continued to fight WWII long after it was over only to find disillusionment in the modern world that in no way he could relate to). You have a real gift as a writer 4 being able to distill fine points taken from philosophy, Buddhism, stoicism, etc ... and make them relatable to what people experience in their everyday lives. Thank you for starting a RUclips channel Mark. Now if you will excuse me I will be starting my own cult, er ugh?, I mean religion, ha haha
I had never been into reading, and I remember coming across the book in an airport and only buying it because the title was edgy. Now I've read it multiple times and turn to a random chapter whenever I feel everything is, well, fucked. You have no idea how big of an influence you are to me and many others. Your writing style is impossible not to get invested in
Sure as aways, there is an escalating number of people who point out how awesome every distinct piece you've put into this book is & how it affected their lives, that's normal What I was surprised to not be liked below as much and what I want to thank you is precisely this recapping itself. I really appreciate having this opportunity after reading the subject book that I once immensely enjoyed to recirculate and solidify a bit better internally all the good stuff you've put into it by the means of this video. Knowing what prompted you to put it inside and the process you've achieved that through does better the whole understanding as well. Hope you keep on doing what you do and will stay safe long
Man, I haven't read any of your books yet, but I recently stumbled on your channel and I just wanted to say that you're such a cool Dude. I love the fact that I get so many amazing concepts to think about and that you pretty much rewrite my whole world view (and my view on myself) with almost every sentence you say. The fact that you educate and inform your self so well is very inspiring to me and makes me wanna go ahead and read all the books about psychology, philosophy, neuroscience and so on that are out there (I really don't know where to start, maybe you have some advice). So yeah, just wanted to get that off my chest, I didn't intend this to be that long. All the best wishes from Germany ✌🏾
Bought these books earlier this year without knowing the concept.- Read "Everything" first then "Subtle". I think I appreciated "Subtle" more after reading "Everything" - Had I done it the other way around, I think "Everything" would be harder to appreciate. - Thanks Mark!
Hey Mark. I don't know if you're gonna see this comment but your first book-The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck-has helped me so much through some hard times I was having amid the COVID-19 outbreak. It gave me some insight on stuff I would have normally glossed over and never give a second thought to. I haven't read the follow up book-Everything is F*cked-yet as I wanted to bide my time before picking it up and reading it. Knowing how well you carry your points across, I know I'll love the second book, but also being self aware of my own mental health and knowing that it's not an easy read... I'm choosing to hold off for a while until I'm mentally fit to pull through and read it all. I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful read, keep up the good work!
I appreciate these summaries for a number of things and most of all for discussing your intent. I wise man I’ve told me “listen to others as if you are speaking yourself” and this gives me a lot of connection to your work as something where you’ve done the work and research to expand upon and follow my own thoughts about the nature of hope and morality and the human condition. Thanks. And that ending “until next time…I’ll see you later” 😂
It's a bit of a cliché, but I planned to only watch a few minutes now only to be unable to move away from it because it was so good. Hearing you talk about the book, I fell in love with it without having read a single page. The Subtle Art has been probably my most favorite book for a while, but as I've lately gotten into stoicism I kind of wished I could get something like a blend between The Subtle Art and the ancient stoic texts. So needless to say, I'm looking forward to reading it :)
I didn't know anything about Everything is f*cked, I need to get a copy because I enjoyed the first book 📚 hope you did your magic in this one as we.. lot of love from South Africa
I'm reading this to my students. Might seem a dicey move but this is IMO, the superior book & the students resonate with this MORE than Subtle Art' The best responses I have gotten is 'Sir - the book is written like the way you speak' 😊
I read the whole book and did not want it to end. You are genius and your book is brilliant, it is the best I’ve ever read! It is not dark at all, it is brutally honest which I think quite the opposite of dark. It was like a heavenly intellectual experience 🫠
More stuff doesn't make us freerer, it imprisons us with anxiety over whether we chose or did the best thing. - Mark Manson Everything is fucked is my eye-opener. Thank you Mark! ❤️
The external pressures the difficulties and the axienty that you went through writing this book is worth it. I wouldn't say that I loved this book ~ yeah but kinda loved it ~ but this book had helped me think outside of my perceptions
I'm almost done with the subtle art.... it's changed my life forreal. but you probably know that. simultaneously just started everything is fucked. i love your writing style man, and i love how you bring in history and sociology etc. So grateful for you.
Great summary Mark. Really enjoyed the book and I think this video will make it more accessible for lots of people. Love that you're tapping into a modern audience that can see the value in philosophy/psychology in a fresh way. Thanks!
I lived my life with extreme struggle and hope so far. I started my own company thinking I would get into more discomfort but I have become comfortable into not working, procrastination and I absolutely do not have hope. No hope...I feel nothing, I care about nothing, I have got no burning desires anymore and no more attrocities. My life is full of love and very comfortable at this moment, and I don't know how to live with it.
I cant wait to read this book! I love to question my beliefs and open my mind to see things beyond my own perspective. I can't wait to read more about our fragility because we have all been so pampered we get offended at the slightest thing. Also about how we think freedom is choice, I'm still single because I can't f@#&ing commit, eye opening! I love your channel and, more importantly, your heart and intention behind it. ❤
I remember making one of my friends (who struggles with anxiety and insecurity) listen to the audiobook part where you talk about the origin of shame and self-loathing that comes from the inability of equalizing one's moral debt. I remember her starting to tear up as she not only realized that there was a perfectly rational explanation to ALL her pain, but also that her pain was not unique or special. So yeah, this book is pretty intense and I love it.
Mark, I have read both books and I love them so much. I wish I could share it with my Mormon friends. There’s so much wisdom in “Everything is F*cked, a book about hope” that I wish religious people wouldn’t judge your books by their covers, and its word choice. (pun intended, hehe) They could also greatly benefit from these amazing gems you wrote. Y’ know how Nicky Minaj, every time she drops a new album, releases a clean version too? I wish you did the same. HAHAHA Yes, you’re the Nicky Minaj of Human Psychology!
This book took me much more time to read with all that thinking brain... feeling brain ....thing ... It was like way deep and was more at a macro level ... It was actually an apt successor of "Subltle art" ... Your writing really keeps my feeling brain busy and my thinking brain is justifying that .... Great Book
I lent my copy of the orange book to the bloke I was involved with. He said he didn't like how it caused him to lose sleep questioning the validity of his existence. Opposite to how I responded to the book. It helps me sleep. Blue book, is a journey that NEEDS to be finished to be properly experienced. I find comfort in your "uncomfortable truth". I'm here for a very short time. May as well experience as much as possible for as long as possible 🙂
You are to f*cking pure. As a shitty person i can say, with confidence, that your words can be used for good and bad that’s why I see you as pure. You give a very real perspective that can be seen From all minds
Thanks mark! Now I understand how it all fits together. I read it once I'm gonna read it again. The 2nd read experience will be much more deeper and fullfilling because of this video.
These lessons are so thought-provoking and impactful. I had to buy the book after watching this because I feel like I need to dive deeper into these topics. "Everything is f*cked" was so inspiring and helpful in my own life, I can't wait to read this one. Thanks for the summery!!!
I loved both books. I have read the first one twice and I'm working my way bit by bit through the second for the second time. I have also really enjoyed listening to your summary videos, great stuff.
Half way through the book and already one of the best philosophy books I've ever read, had to come here and comment!! Never have I read a book that has me laughing out loud as much as this one, I can just imagine Mark reading these hilarious one liners to end a paragraph 🤣🤣 but seriously though thank you for all you do in this field!!
I’m surprised to hear of these complaints about this book. It’s a great read and I took notes on the books you referred to and have purchased several. Thank you for not only your work but for the others on my shelf. I love a brain workout!
Thanks for the endnotes tip, lol I'm almost finishing this amazing book and were planning to read it again so knowing that the footnotes are going to add even more value, knowledge and wit to the second read makes me look forward to it even more. Thanks for all the work you're putting into what you do.
Man, I liked you when reading your books and then found your RUclips channel and now...I love you! Your summary of Everything was a nice reminder of its content and now I want to go back and read it again. I'm not ready to pick a cult leader, but if I was...it would be you! Thank you for being the creator you are!
I almost got crazy with the idea of community and how it works. I had to stop going to the church for almost a month because I only see that as form of domination over me and my family and I lost all my hope in the world. The good thing is that from that point I stopped doing things on autopilot and I started to think what and why I want to do something or go somewhere. I don’t only hope for understanding what you wrote but Im studying and searching knowledge to become better and don’t rely on hope to get what I dream of. Thanks
Mark the summary just makes everything vivid bro...that book is so intellectual...it helped us becomes better people and deal with the crisis of hope in a healthy way...thank you Mark Manson
I love this video! I love the book even though I didn't understand how the chapters fit together. I've listened to the audiobook about 50 times! BTW I still can't get me head around chapter nine.
I highlighted the fudge out of the Orange Book. Bought this book when it was announced and then things happend and I had no time. Now I will read this book and highlight this book as well.
His this book changed my life the thing about being better rather than hoping for better. His book was a great summary to the last centuries philosophy.
I am a 23 year old student from India 🇮🇳 and your Book is like a RELIGIOUS BOOK for me. Whenever I need a answer I refer to that.❤️. You are so great that I can't describe.🙏
Dude, this shit is the shit. I used to love philosophy, but can't stand to read it or even watch other people's interpretations, but this seems to distill everything essential to leading an authentically rewarding life. I can't wait to read the book!
I'm looking forward to this. Mark is my favorite author and I have read probably everything he has written all the way down to "The Nerds Guide to Confidence". I have never had any issues understanding any of his work and think Subtle Art is a great book. I consider myself to be fairly good with these types of topics, as I study a lot of psychology and philosophy. unfortunately, I'm one of those jugheads that had a hard time getting this book. I did get more from the book the second time around and there was a lot of awesome stuff but I felt I really missed the meat and potato's. So this is going to be awesome
To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible. Love from a small RUclipsr🙏🖤
I bought the book 5 minutes into the video, you kept blowing my mind every minute after. Holy shit.
Dude, this book made a big impact for me as a father. Once I gave into the idea that my kids don't have thinking brains and that my job is to pay attention to their feelings and realize that all of their actions are driven entirely by their feelings, I turned into a much better dad.
Hi, Dad!

We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling about on a tiny blue speck. We imagine our own importance. We invent our purpose-we are nothing.

Books are very limited medium. He told correctly - our feelings much more impact actions than logical side. IMO much better tool is games, because better immerses and easier to create appropriate stimulus.
My parents can’t stand reading marks book because there’s too much swearing 😂😂
@@Genny-Zee So many people! It's definitely something people need to be ready for and I think that's important.

Everything is fucked is a masterpiece.Thank you Mark for this incredible book.
A summary of "Models" would be nice, it's a good and honest book.
Right! I ended half way... and never got time to complete it
100% agree. As a 22 year old college student in an area where there is an insane of pressure to get married young, reading Models eased so many of my worries. Such an underrated book.
Just finished Everything is f*cked and I cant tell you how many times I highlighted passages from the book. It is definitely one of the best self-help books I have ever read. It's a book that has become part of my psyche in a way. I cant help but look at the world through the lens of this book now. Chapter 7: Pain is a universal constant was so brilliantly written I think I am going to read it every few days to help me keep perspective of my own struggles through life.
I liked Subtle Art but I absolutely loved Everything Is. I'm also pleasantly surprised that I understood Chapter 4. Thanks Mark for creating this wonderful piece of work.
I don't know how, but this guy managed to put all the things I wanted to know more about in one book. All themes he talks about are so interesting, even themes like AI that I never had interest in he explains so simply. You can really see the difference between his last book and this one. He has grown so much as a writer. He is a modern day philosopher and I am so glad people see his work. He is truly a genius.
Mr. Mark, that book is a masterpiece! I loved it because it's dark and we share the same beliefs, wisdom should be thought provoking and uncomfortable!
The only thing I’ve ever memorized came from The Subtle Art…
“Don’t trust your conception of Positive or negative experiences. All that we know for certain is what hurts in the moment and what doesn’t, and that’s not worth much.”
I wish every author did this. You describe the book in a way that hyped it up but doesn’t completely spoil it. Appreciate you dude, I’m picking this up after I finish Subtle Art 💪🏻🤙🏻
I accientally stumbled upon the book during my vaction in an airbnb house in Iceland.
Started to read it and continued quickly all to the end.
This book is, in my opinion, one of the best books in the so called self help category.
In particular it really opened up my eyes to how struggle and pain is really necessary for our feeling of purpose, meaning and happiness in life.
It just have to be pain we feel is worth it.
That having to struggle is not a bad thing and we should not expect life to just be all fun and happy all the time.
Also very entertaining to read.
About to finish it ..just a fee pages left
This video literally just came in time!!
I am completely blown away by the book
Probably the best investment i would ever make on buying books😭♥
Cool. I read it in XII
The opposite of happiness is literally mind blowing and makes so much logical sense
This book was a hard read especially since I already do struggle with depression, nonetheless it is a very important read. The feeling brain really does suck & it can also be a useful tool you use to get you what you want. All of these chapters & concepts are important concepts to learn about & speak about, although this can be a hard process. By the way, Witold Pilecki was an ordinary man who was just trying to do the right thing, he had fears like the many of us & despite them still decided to act. We all have the power to do that & most of us probably won't due to fear.
I like that u wrote what u wanted to write about . I don't care whether your books are bestsellers or not , I just love all of the work that you do.
Thank you and keep going.
The world needs you.
Mark, I had to stop washing the dishes to tell you that I LOVE CHAPTER FOUR!!! Okay, need to go continue my chores whilst listening. Thanks! Love both books!
My favorite man out there. I keep reading both books over and over again. Awesome. I can’t wait for your next write up. ❤️
Loved the book and how much it’s stretched your work. Been reading you “religiously” since back in postmasculine (circa 2010) days and love to see your evolution as a person and professional!
To build and maintain hope, we need three things: a sense of control, a belief in the value of something, and a community.
“Control” means we feel as though we’re in control of our own life, that we can affect our fate. “Values” means we find something important enough to work toward, something better, that’s worth striving for. And “community” means we are part of a group that values the same things we do and is working toward achieving those things. Without a community, we feel isolated, and our values cease to mean anything. Without values, nothing appears worth pursuing. And without control, we feel powerless to pursue anything. Lose any of the three, and you lose the other two. Lose any of the three, and you lose hope.
One of my favorite quotes you said was when someone asked you at a press conference type deal, and audience member asked about why everything feels f***** and your response was "When was everything not f******?" loved that idea! Easy to forget all of the problems humanity has already faced in the past and somehow the world kept turning
I really did enjoy this book. I loved that idea of self-help through philosophy. One of the main parts that stuck out was when he says something along the lines of “people will go to self-help or self-development to say ‘show me the rules of the game, and I’ll play.’” I realized I was reading for the wrong reasons. Not so I could be a better person but so I could appear to be a better person.
That final chapter did throw me for a loop lol Interestingly enough, it motivated me. Talking about how AI has the potential to take over and put us essentially in the Matrix is horrifying and I hate it 😂 Because of that, I got motivated. Motivated to accept. Bring on life as it comes. Every emotion, good laugh, and bad fight, I’m here for it. As long as the grass is real and I’m not in a robot-induced coma, it’s worth being a part of
I like the way how Mark writes his book in a raw way, connecting to a reality in life.
He's a Philosopher not a baby cry psychologist 😃
@@elsonauquelllc8743 yeah agree
I'm an astrologer (yes that's right, an astrologer) with a psychological background. I've spent the last few years in research studying the dialects of light and much of what you are describing in this book including the arc that you captured in the book structure itself, is exactly the thinking/feeling dialectic reflected in the astrological luminaries. Brilliant (pun intended).
I found your chapter regarding the Hedonic treadmill and the folly of the Pursuit of Happiness to be what spoke most to me. Our society is indeed so focused on personal satisfaction that they don’t really live with purpose; and as a result, can’t handle when things cause them discomfort. Pain is a virtue and we should not be afraid to face it in order to be better. No such thing “Happily ever after”. A good life is where you live till you die with conviction and meaning.
50 pages into this book, which i randomly found... wait, actually, the book found me out of nowhere, and that made me do some research about the author, and i think I've got a huge crush on him,😂 never knew self help book could be this mind blowing
This is the book that made me fall in love with philosophy, its a deep book and it opened me to some great authors like Nietzche, Kant, Hegel, Plato, Spinoza and I cant stop reading them haha, thanks for this great book Mark.
Ashamed to say this has been sitting on my Audible queue for a while, bumping it up the list. I loved Subtle Art. There is so much depth to Mark's analysis of the human condition and what we can do to optimise it. I can also recommend subscribing to his weekly email.
What I loved about this book is the way you understand and read Nietzsche philosophy it was a deep stadying I represented in a seminar
I have never read self-help books like yours, this is why I will be keeping them on the Shelf to reference whenever I am in a funk. I especially enjoy the stories you used to exemplify your points (e.g. the Japanese soldier who was so filled with absolute certainty and pride that he continued to fight WWII long after it was over only to find disillusionment in the modern world that in no way he could relate to). You have a real gift as a writer 4 being able to distill fine points taken from philosophy, Buddhism, stoicism, etc ... and make them relatable to what people experience in their everyday lives. Thank you for starting a RUclips channel Mark. Now if you will excuse me I will be starting my own cult, er ugh?, I mean religion, ha haha
I had never been into reading, and I remember coming across the book in an airport and only buying it because the title was edgy. Now I've read it multiple times and turn to a random chapter whenever I feel everything is, well, fucked. You have no idea how big of an influence you are to me and many others. Your writing style is impossible not to get invested in

Love from a small channel💙
Now can we do one for "Models"?😁
I absolutely love that one from you as well. And do believe it deserves one author summary.
didnt know about it, what's it about?
@@9Nikko8 oh it's a work of art
@@9Nikko8 if I had to give it a genre I would say relationship advices but it is simply so much more
Sure as aways, there is an escalating number of people who point out how awesome every distinct piece you've put into this book is & how it affected their lives, that's normal
What I was surprised to not be liked below as much and what I want to thank you is precisely this recapping itself. I really appreciate having this opportunity after reading the subject book that I once immensely enjoyed to recirculate and solidify a bit better internally all the good stuff you've put into it by the means of this video. Knowing what prompted you to put it inside and the process you've achieved that through does better the whole understanding as well. Hope you keep on doing what you do and will stay safe long
Man, I haven't read any of your books yet, but I recently stumbled on your channel and I just wanted to say that you're such a cool Dude. I love the fact that I get so many amazing concepts to think about and that you pretty much rewrite my whole world view (and my view on myself) with almost every sentence you say. The fact that you educate and inform your self so well is very inspiring to me and makes me wanna go ahead and read all the books about psychology, philosophy, neuroscience and so on that are out there (I really don't know where to start, maybe you have some advice). So yeah, just wanted to get that off my chest, I didn't intend this to be that long.
All the best wishes from Germany ✌🏾
And now I'm going to re-listen to this book on audible for like the 3rd time. I love it!
Bought these books earlier this year without knowing the concept.- Read "Everything" first then "Subtle". I think I appreciated "Subtle" more after reading "Everything" - Had I done it the other way around, I think "Everything" would be harder to appreciate. - Thanks Mark!
Mark is become more and more funny these days ! He wasn't like this in the past....Maybe he doesn't give a F**K anymore for anything
“Anybody could do this shit when its going good, champion’s over come when it’s going bad.” Happy Thursday Champs🤙🏼 love the work Mark🙏🏼
Hey Mark. I don't know if you're gonna see this comment but your first book-The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck-has helped me so much through some hard times I was having amid the COVID-19 outbreak. It gave me some insight on stuff I would have normally glossed over and never give a second thought to. I haven't read the follow up book-Everything is F*cked-yet as I wanted to bide my time before picking it up and reading it. Knowing how well you carry your points across, I know I'll love the second book, but also being self aware of my own mental health and knowing that it's not an easy read... I'm choosing to hold off for a while until I'm mentally fit to pull through and read it all. I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful read, keep up the good work!
I appreciate these summaries for a number of things and most of all for discussing your intent. I wise man I’ve told me “listen to others as if you are speaking yourself” and this gives me a lot of connection to your work as something where you’ve done the work and research to expand upon and follow my own thoughts about the nature of hope and morality and the human condition. Thanks.
And that ending “until next time…I’ll see you later” 😂
I like the idea of summarizing books by the author 👊👌🏾
Absolutely!
It's a bit of a cliché, but I planned to only watch a few minutes now only to be unable to move away from it because it was so good. Hearing you talk about the book, I fell in love with it without having read a single page.
The Subtle Art has been probably my most favorite book for a while, but as I've lately gotten into stoicism I kind of wished I could get something like a blend between The Subtle Art and the ancient stoic texts. So needless to say, I'm looking forward to reading it :)
I didn't know anything about Everything is f*cked, I need to get a copy because I enjoyed the first book 📚 hope you did your magic in this one as we.. lot of love from South Africa
Ppppppp loop
I'm reading this to my students.
Might seem a dicey move but this is IMO, the superior book & the students resonate with this MORE than Subtle Art'
The best responses I have gotten is 'Sir - the book is written like the way you speak' 😊
I read the whole book and did not want it to end. You are genius and your book is brilliant, it is the best I’ve ever read! It is not dark at all, it is brutally honest which I think quite the opposite of dark. It was like a heavenly intellectual experience 🫠
Yay! Thank you Mark! I've been waiting for this one. Chapter 4 is my favorite. Love your work!
More stuff doesn't make us freerer, it imprisons us with anxiety over whether we chose or did the best thing. - Mark Manson
Everything is fucked is my eye-opener. Thank you Mark! ❤️
this book has been my abosulute favorite since reading it. I wished it never ended
The external pressures the difficulties and the axienty that you went through writing this book is worth it. I wouldn't say that I loved this book ~ yeah but kinda loved it ~ but this book had helped me think outside of my perceptions
I'm almost done with the subtle art.... it's changed my life forreal. but you probably know that. simultaneously just started everything is fucked. i love your writing style man, and i love how you bring in history and sociology etc. So grateful for you.
Great summary Mark. Really enjoyed the book and I think this video will make it more accessible for lots of people. Love that you're tapping into a modern audience that can see the value in philosophy/psychology in a fresh way. Thanks!
Calling for an author summary of Models!
Exactly man!
you're the chosen one!
Me too
Yes!
Me too
I lived my life with extreme struggle and hope so far. I started my own company thinking I would get into more discomfort but I have become comfortable into not working, procrastination and I absolutely do not have hope. No hope...I feel nothing, I care about nothing, I have got no burning desires anymore and no more attrocities. My life is full of love and very comfortable at this moment, and I don't know how to live with it.
Yesssss! I just finished it two weeks ago and this is just PERFECT!
I cant wait to read this book! I love to question my beliefs and open my mind to see things beyond my own perspective. I can't wait to read more about our fragility because we have all been so pampered we get offended at the slightest thing. Also about how we think freedom is choice, I'm still single because I can't f@#&ing commit, eye opening! I love your channel and, more importantly, your heart and intention behind it. ❤
I'm so glad you wrote chapter 4!
And thank you for the rest of the book, your previous book, and this RUclips channel ❤
I remember making one of my friends (who struggles with anxiety and insecurity) listen to the audiobook part where you talk about the origin of shame and self-loathing that comes from the inability of equalizing one's moral debt. I remember her starting to tear up as she not only realized that there was a perfectly rational explanation to ALL her pain, but also that her pain was not unique or special. So yeah, this book is pretty intense and I love it.
Mark, I have read both books and I love them so much. I wish I could share it with my Mormon friends. There’s so much wisdom in “Everything is F*cked, a book about hope” that I wish religious people wouldn’t judge your books by their covers, and its word choice. (pun intended, hehe) They could also greatly benefit from these amazing gems you wrote. Y’ know how Nicky Minaj, every time she drops a new album, releases a clean version too? I wish you did the same. HAHAHA Yes, you’re the Nicky Minaj of Human Psychology!
You're one of those philosophers who makes a difference and do the part to make the world a better place
This book took me much more time to read with all that thinking brain... feeling brain ....thing ... It was like way deep and was more at a macro level ... It was actually an apt successor of "Subltle art" ... Your writing really keeps my feeling brain busy and my thinking brain is justifying that .... Great Book
I lent my copy of the orange book to the bloke I was involved with.
He said he didn't like how it caused him to lose sleep questioning the validity of his existence.
Opposite to how I responded to the book. It helps me sleep.
Blue book, is a journey that NEEDS to be finished to be properly experienced.
I find comfort in your "uncomfortable truth".
I'm here for a very short time. May as well experience as much as possible for as long as possible 🙂
You are to f*cking pure. As a shitty person i can say, with confidence, that your words can be used for good and bad that’s why I see you as pure. You give a very real perspective that can be seen From all minds
Thanks mark! Now I understand how it all fits together. I read it once I'm gonna read it again. The 2nd read experience will be much more deeper and fullfilling because of this video.
These lessons are so thought-provoking and impactful. I had to buy the book after watching this because I feel like I need to dive deeper into these topics. "Everything is f*cked" was so inspiring and helpful in my own life, I can't wait to read this one. Thanks for the summery!!!
I loved both books. I have read the first one twice and I'm working my way bit by bit through the second for the second time. I have also really enjoyed listening to your summary videos, great stuff.
Half way through the book and already one of the best philosophy books I've ever read, had to come here and comment!! Never have I read a book that has me laughing out loud as much as this one, I can just imagine Mark reading these hilarious one liners to end a paragraph 🤣🤣 but seriously though thank you for all you do in this field!!
Makes sense. Solving a problem creates another problem.
I’m surprised to hear of these complaints about this book. It’s a great read and I took notes on the books you referred to and have purchased several. Thank you for not only your work but for the others on my shelf. I love a brain workout!
I listened to this book on audio about 10 times. It does take a few times to understand it. One of my favorite on my audible library.
Thanks for the endnotes tip, lol
I'm almost finishing this amazing book and were planning to read it again so knowing that the footnotes are going to add even more value, knowledge and wit to the second read makes me look forward to it even more. Thanks for all the work you're putting into what you do.
Perfect timing as I literally just finished this book a few days ago 🔥🙌🏽
Man, I liked you when reading your books and then found your RUclips channel and now...I love you! Your summary of Everything was a nice reminder of its content and now I want to go back and read it again. I'm not ready to pick a cult leader, but if I was...it would be you! Thank you for being the creator you are!
I almost got crazy with the idea of community and how it works. I had to stop going to the church for almost a month because I only see that as form of domination over me and my family and I lost all my hope in the world. The good thing is that from that point I stopped doing things on autopilot and I started to think what and why I want to do something or go somewhere. I don’t only hope for understanding what you wrote but Im studying and searching knowledge to become better and don’t rely on hope to get what I dream of. Thanks
Mark the summary just makes everything vivid bro...that book is so intellectual...it helped us becomes better people and deal with the crisis of hope in a healthy way...thank you Mark Manson
EDIT: Just bought it. - Only realized now that you put out this book. Absolutely buying it.
U r the only guy on internet that makes sense to me right now
Ashish chanchalani vine is best
I just now finished the book and I plan to read it again. Just like I did with Mark's first book!!
I love this video! I love the book even though I didn't understand how the chapters fit together. I've listened to the audiobook about 50 times! BTW I still can't get me head around chapter nine.
I’m so glad I read your books when i was about to turn 18 it’s been helping me build my perspective from scratch
I highlighted the fudge out of the Orange Book. Bought this book when it was announced and then things happend and I had no time. Now I will read this book and highlight this book as well.
His this book changed my life the thing about being better rather than hoping for better. His book was a great summary to the last centuries philosophy.
I am a 23 year old student from India 🇮🇳 and your Book is like a RELIGIOUS BOOK for me. Whenever I need a answer I refer to that.❤️. You are so great that I can't describe.🙏
Dude, this shit is the shit. I used to love philosophy, but can't stand to read it or even watch other people's interpretations, but this seems to distill everything essential to leading an authentically rewarding life. I can't wait to read the book!
The only thing i know it that chapter 4 changed my life in many ways , i am sooooo glad I've read that, It set me off on my intellectual journey .
I'm looking forward to this. Mark is my favorite author and I have read probably everything he has written all the way down to "The Nerds Guide to Confidence". I have never had any issues understanding any of his work and think Subtle Art is a great book. I consider myself to be fairly good with these types of topics, as I study a lot of psychology and philosophy. unfortunately, I'm one of those jugheads that had a hard time getting this book. I did get more from the book the second time around and there was a lot of awesome stuff but I felt I really missed the meat and potato's. So this is going to be awesome
I'm so glad this video came across my feed. I can't wait to read it. I'm ordering it now!!
To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible.
Love from a small RUclipsr🙏🖤
Shut your mouth
the idea about having hope through a darkness is very interesting . I’m convinced to read this book!
This is the best book. I love you for not being fake. Please write more books. I listened to this one a lot. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
