The subtle art of not giving a f*ck pisses me off every fucking time I see it. If you didn't give a fuck, you would spell out fuck like an adult.

Maybe they did spell it out, the publisher changed it, and the author didn’t give a fuck?

A former boss bought me a copy of that book as a Christmas gift (instead of giving out bonuses). It took everything I had to not say "Wow, you really don't know me at all."

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Use a sharpie to change the title to "the subtle art of not giving a fuck at work" and keep it on your desk

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Nah, I asked for a reasonable salary increase and quit when it was denied.

like an adult

And not like those fucking teenagers who are notorious for self-censorship 😆

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

I haven't because I don't give a fuck about it

[–] tacocollector2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Oh honey, your ignorance is showing. Don’t comment on books you haven’t read.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] tacocollector2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 15 hours ago

Ha! I did, my apologies.

[–] AcesFullOfKings@feddit.uk 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

no but the cover is all I need to judge it

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I started it, and it's bad. I must've read 25 pages.

It's very poorly written, it reads like it was written by someone who only speaks English as a second language, or a teenager. With an added layer of trying to sound deep and wise.

Whatever substance there might be in there was destroyed by who terrible it was to read.

[–] VoiHyvaLuojaMitaNyt@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Isn't it some blog post that was edited into a book?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago

something something a book by its cover.

[–] tacocollector2@lemmy.blahaj.zone -4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Glad to see ignorance is alive and well

[–] AcesFullOfKings@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago
[–] Zedd00@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. Why would I give a fuck about a book that proves with its title that it doesn't know shit about the subject of the book? That'd be like buying "every way to cook a steak: 500 recipes for microwaving filet mignon"

[–] tacocollector2@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 18 hours ago

So you just like being ignorant then.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I have, and it was basically a curse-word ridden version of another book that was published around the same time. The "unfucked" version was better IMO, but I don't remember what it was called. I guess gimmicks really do help a book succeed.

[–] tacocollector2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I have as well, and Mark Manson is a really intelligent writer. That book is still on the shelves for a reason.

Everyone uses gimmicks.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Eh not everyone uses gimmicks.

[–] grainOfSalt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe you're thinking of "Let Them" by Mel Robbins? It's newer but a more positive way to say the same thing.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I don't think so. There was a book where the author looked at basically the same groups of people (stoics, buddhists, etc.) but it didn't have the same buzzy title. I think I loaded both onto my Kindle from pdf so now I can't find a reference to either. Oh well.
