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

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. <br>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. <br> <br>1:17 Rigorous Empiricism vs Crappy Self-Help Advice <br>8:10 Non-rigorous relationship advice: Absolute honesty <br>12:47 The Feedback Loop from Hell <br>14:44 On Positivity Obsession <br>15:24 How Social Media Hijacks Happiness <br>17:10 Suffering is a Feature NOT a Bug <br>18:21 On Values &amp; Choosing Your Problems <br>19:12 On Victimhood <br>20:45 The Enemy of Growth: Certainty <br>21:30 On Identity <br>22:18 Freedom in Commitment <br>24:00 Stoicism 101 <br>25:10 Meditate on Death <br>27:15 Red Pilled? <br>29:33 Cultural Commentary &amp; Conclusion <br> <br>Read ?
