Review: Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope

Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope by Mark Manson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(2.5/5 stars) It's not that I didn't like it - I liked it. I just didn't have very many take away's from it.

This book was less about psychological studies and more about interesting philosophies and ideas. Manson grabbed a bunch from Nietzsche and Plato. He also dug into their life and who they really were which was interesting.

It had interesting idea's about the world and where we've come and where we're going. Artificial intelligence is an exciting yet scary thing.

You can easily create your own religion because they're basically all the same.

Instead of flying cars we got twitter. lololol It's because what we think we really want is sometimes not actually what we really want, there's other things that are important that we didn't realize.

There's the left side and right side of your brain, for feelings and emotions and the other for logic and reason. They both have to live in harmony with each other, you can't ignore your feelings.

Don't strive for happiness, strive for pain and suffering and you'll be happier. This food for thought was kinda like - expect the worst so that you'll never be disappointed.

Talked a lot about how it's human to have hope and faith but having hope is always wishing for something greater, and you will never be fulfilled.
