I think what most people — especially educated, pampered middle-class white people — consider “life problems” are really just side effects of not having anything more important to worry about. Pleasure is a false god. Research shows that people who focus their energy on superficial pleasures end up more anxious, more emotionally unstable, and more depressed. Pleasure is the most superficial form of life satisfaction and therefore the easiest to obtain and the easiest to lose.” All of the meaning in our life is shaped by our innate desire to never truly die. Our physical bodies will die, but we cling to the idea that we can live on through religion, politics, sports, art, and technological innovation. Self-improvement and success often occur together. But that doesn't necessarily mean they're the same things." Don’t ask yourself what you want out of life. It’s easy to want success and fame and happiness and great sex. Everybody wants those things. A much more interesting question to ask yourself is, “What kind of pain do I want?” What you are willing to struggle for is a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.

People will often fight over who gets to be responsible for successful and happiness. But taking responsibility for our problems is far more important because that’s where real learning comes from.Action isn’t just the effect of motivation; it’s also the cause of it. Do something and inspiration will follow. Nu fugi de suferințe! Viața înseamnă să-ți asumi suferința. Suferința face parte din viață. Cît trăiești, suferi, dar dacă suferi, asta înseamnă foarte precis că ești încă viu :) No es sobre que nada te importe un c*rajo. Es sobre que te importe un c*rajo sólo las cosas importantes. En esencia, la pregunta es, debería realmente importame un c*rajo?

Oh, let's not forget how he loves to give added emphasis to things. When talking about music, it's not enough to reference The Beatles, they are the The GODDAMN Beatles. The more you embrace being uncertain and not knowing, the more comfortable you will feel in knowing what you don’t know. Couldn't be happier to have chosen audio rather than ebook. Cursing can seem very aggressive when reading it on text, but hearing it through the voice of the narrator it became so much easier, and funnier.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” -Aristotle

I am a little reluctant to read books that force me to look too critically at my life, my history and my family. Self-exploration is interesting in that it can help understand ourselves and where we came from, but it can also shine a light into the dark parts, bringing memories and hurt to the forefront. A person can react two ways to this: they can either learn from it and have an even greater understanding of their past, or they can play the blame game and become a victim. We don’t always control what happens to us. But we always control how we interpret what happens to us, as well as how we respond. What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Taipei City to Fukuoka?

FAQ

Manson proudly announces he cuts through the crap! But alas, he does not. What Manson really does is steal some ideas from Buddhism and works hard to make himself look like a wise philosopher, and old soul. Happiness is not a solvable equation. Dissatisfaction and unease are inherent parts of human nature." Everyone wants you to believe that the secret to a good life is to have a nicer job or a better car or a prettier girlfriend. Well for starters, Mark Manson is a real douche. There has never been a better husband than Mark Manson. Why? He doesn't put up with bullshit. If his wife looks like shit he tells her. He won't tolerate her looking bad no matter how much time she has spent getting ready to go out.

The more you try to become certain about a particular issue, the more uncertain and insecure you will feel. I did find myself becoming very interested in this book. There are some passages that I could really relate to and I found myself nodding along on more than one occasion. However, reading it as the parent of two very young children was sometimes upsetting. James suggests that most of the molding of people's lives is done in the early months and first few years of life and discussions here about a mother's choice to work really sent my mind into panic mode. When asked to categorise myself according to James's breakdowns of wobbler, clinger, punitive or weak, I started looking at my personality in a way I haven't ever done, and while it did make me a little embarrassed at times, it also helped me to see how I came to be like this. And again, it's not about the blame game, it's more about looking inward and getting some perspective. James insists that he is not trying to stir up trouble with his findings, but he certainly has some very controversial subject matter here and it is hard to disagree with a lot of it. The book was noted as a prominent instance of an industry wide trend of swear words in book titles during the 2010s. [19] [20] People who base their self-worth on being right about everything prevent themselves from learning from their mistakes. Ah, the money probably brings him little happiness. He probably in dire need of therapy or funds to hire ladies resembling Friends characters or writing classes. All is well with the world and I am happy these are much needed things my contribution can go toward.This was an interesting read, however I'm not sure I 'buy' all of what the author is saying. James is very explicitly a behaviourist, and is adamant of the fact that it is our upbringing and how we are treated by our parents or primary caregivers that determines who we are, rather than our genes - there is no 'bit of both' in the nature vs. nurture debate as far as this author is concerned. It's all a very interesting read though, and he does make a lot of very interesting and plausible points. In short, a lot of what James writes in this book makes sense, however I'm not sure how much of this is down to a confirmation bias - your parents were angry or timid or unloving and reading that they are responsible for the same traits in you because of your upbringing causes you to agree that yes, this is the case, it is their behaviour that ultimately caused yours. Our culture today is obsessively focused on unrealistically positive expectations: Be happier. Be healthier. Be the best, better than the rest. Be smarter, faster, richer, sexier, more popular, more productive, more envied, and more admired. Be perfect and amazing and crap out twelve-karat-gold nuggets before breakfast each morning while kissing your selfie-ready spouse and two and a half kids goodbye. Then fly your helicopter to your wonderfully fulfilling job, where you spend your days doing incredibly meaningful work that’s likely to save the planet one day. Goals are limited in the amount of happiness they can provide in our lives because they are finite. Once you achieve the goal, it can no longer provide happiness because the finish line has been crossed. Paradoxically, then, by choosing processes as your focus, you can increase your overall, lifelong happiness by focusing on the process and not the goal. Processes never end, which means happiness can continue indefinitely. Manson’s idea of “kill yourself” is similar to Paul Graham’s idea of “keep your identity small.” The central point is that if you don’t have an identity to protect, then change becomes much easier. The author references some information from scientific studies with an assumption that the results are one way or another. He doesn't say "studies suggest that..." or "recent research has shown..", he states matter of factly that this research is correct. This may perhaps be a small complaint, but as a scientist myself, something that bothered me all the same. The case studies of famous people, too, though interesting seem to be more assumption than fact.
