Remarkable Part: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F%uck by Mark Manson

I was actually surprised I finished this book. I had given this book an ultimatum that if ever I encounter again a line that disrespect my philosophy as a human, I would stop reading it, thus becoming the very first book that I would not finish reading.

The first few pages, I know that the writer is trying to build up an image that his thoughts about life is maverick. So does with how he writes this book. Given that fact, I managed to understand why he writes that way. But upon encountering a passage where he ridiculed an old human, I started questioning his ways but still giving the benefit of the doubt, I continue reading. And then, here comes something about sexualizing Jennifer Aniston, that's when I knew the writer is not someone I would give my support as a reader. He's one the men I would choose to stay away from and not have even a chitchat talk. No. So that's where I gave an ultimatum.

But as I continue reading, I haven't encountered anything that I consider offensive even until I finish the book. Instead, I actually found an interesting passage that is worth quoting. Here it is:


So, there. I don't know if we have the same meter with these things I found offensive in this book. I wouldn't really encourage you reading this unless your love for life is so strong that no one can discourage you living it the way God intended you to.

Have a great read!
