There is potential for growth or improvement or salvation in the future.It doesn’t matter the way you get to hope, they all provide the same result.It’s the source of all misery, and the cause of all addiction.Hopelessness is the root of anxiety, mental illness, and depression.It’s the belief that everything is fucked so why do anything at all.The opposite of happiness is hopelessness, an endless gray horizon of resignation of indifference.If there’s no hope in the future being better, then there’s no reason to live.We all need hope to find meaning in our lives.To show us the possibility for a better world that we didn’t know could exist.To strike a match and light up the void.Being heroic is the ability to conjure hope where there is none.There was a chain of command with ranks and officers, a supply chain, and the lines of communication to the outside world.Over the course of two years, he built an entire resistance unit within Auschwitz.To this day, Pilecki was the only man ever known to have voluntary entered into a Nazi concentration camp.Plus, I think the reviews and average rating is really high. Therefore, I’m hoping this read is just as good. Not only were these two books phenomenal, but they’re also both in my top 10-20 books of all time. I’m definitely a fan of Mark Manson’s writing because I absolutely loved the last two books of his that I read, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Models.

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. Now, 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.
The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the number-one best seller in 13 different countries. 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.
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. 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. What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. 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. 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. 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. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been – we are freer, healthier, and wealthier than any people in human history. Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope by Mark Manson Synopsis:
