The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck: A Review

"A problem is only as big as we make it"

Why You Need To Read It NOW

In a world where everyone including you has began stressing about every little thing, this book gives you the much needed light and proves to be extremely helpful for the current generation.

Flipping through the nine chapters of this self-help novel, the most important lesson you take back is to figure out the things that REALLY matter and to not waste your time or energy about things that hardly make a difference.

How It Is Written

The book is an easy read and written on a sophisticated level (barring the title). It will make you laugh, teary-eyed and make you go, 'Oh, I never thought about this that way before.'

The content of this book may feel repetitive after a point, because the moral of the story is the same as any other self-help book you might have read. However, the writer makes apt use of storytelling and robust, lucid language with a pinch of humour and some harsh, familiar realities of life.

Takeaways

Filled with various thought provoking one-liners like, "We are always choosing: willingly or unwillingly. We are the makers of our choices", this book is a must read for every one of you out there, because admit it, at some point in life we're all worrying about things that actually don't matter at all.

And that's exactly what this book teaches us not to do.
