And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience. It seems that every where I look on the train, on the beach, in my local bookstore-come-cafe, people are reading it, and more than that they’re recommending it too.Ī friend of mine lent me The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, and while I was already half way through André Aciman’s Call Me By Your Name, I found myself locked out of my apartment as dusk fell on Sunday evening, and so I made my way to my favourite bookstore-come-cafe in Bondi, and settled down for two hours of reading with a chai tea and the background buzz of chatter for company.Ī thought-provoking and inspiring book from the start, Manson has a clear talent at turning the way many of us look at things on their head, and I found the following notion a particularly interesting one: the desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. I’m not entirely sure when The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck was published, but suffice it to say it’s become something of a cult read of late.
