Mark Manson
Everything Is F*cked
A Book About Hope
Hope isn’t optimism — it’s the refusal to give up on a future worth wanting. We don’t need more freedom or comfort; we need something bigger than ourselves to give a f*ck about.
Mark Manson followed up his bestseller on caring less with this 2019 book about caring more — specifically, about what people need to actually believe in. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and his own bouts with depression, he argues that modern comfort and endless choice haven’t made people happier, and that real hope requires something to sacrifice for, not just something to feel good about.
