　　教你勇往直前，大方擁抱理想的工作與生活！

　　「正向積極」是我們無論面對課業、工作、生活甚至人群時，被要求該有的態度與樣貌。但是，積極什麼的，都吃屎去吧！部落客Mark Manson如是說。有別於坊間多數心靈成長書籍總是正向並充滿光明，Manson認為人生本來就是各種鳥事的集合，既然一定會產生負能量，何不拿來加以運用，讓我們以更愉悅且有效的方式達成目標。

　　「管他去死啊！」這句話是許多人的口頭禪與共同心聲，但鮮少有人真的敢付諸實踐。總是擔心別人的眼光，或受社會既有價值束縛。既然人生短暫，比起汲汲營營地追求他人眼裏的完美，不如思考自己最注重的事物是什麼。Mark Manson正是「管他去死」守則的最佳代言人，他擅長且熱愛寫作，大膽放棄人人稱羨的銀行工作，專職經營部落格，讓認同他文章的訂閱者定期資助他。Manson指出，若清楚地了解事物在心中的重要順序，則可把所有資源集中在最重要的事情上，無視其他瑣碎阻礙，克服困難與挑戰。背水一戰的結果，通常都能走出不凡的人生，並增長勇氣、毅力、正直與責任感。

　　流暢且幽默的筆觸，佐以詼諧的比喻，The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck是我們這世代最需要處事方針，幫助我們尋得嚮往的工作、生活與人生。(文/博客來編譯)

　　In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

　　For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

　　Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

　　There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
