The Motivated Gentleman

"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" is a self-help book by Mark Manson that encourages readers to prioritize what truly matters in life and let go of unnecessary worries and concerns. Here are a few quotes from the book:

1. "Who you are is defined by what you're willing to struggle for."

2. "The desire for a more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one's negative experience is itself a positive experience."

3. "Our values determine the metrics by which we measure ourselves and everyone else. If you're feeling unf*cked in this moment, it's because your values are intact."

4. "The key to a good life is not giving a f*ck about more; it's giving a f*ck about less, giving a f*ck about only what is true and immediate and important."

5. "Happiness is a problem to be solved, not a goal to be forever pursued."

6. "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."

7. "If you're stuck on a problem, don't sit there and think about it; just start working on it. Even if you don't know what you're doing, the simple act of working on it will eventually cause the right ideas to show up in your head."

8. "The ticket to emotional health, like that to physical health, comes from eating your veggies – that is, accepting the bland and mundane truths of life: truths such as 'Your actions actually don't matter that much' and 'Most people don't care about your problems.'"

Please note that the book contains strong language. The book uses explicit language to drive home its points about values and priorities.
