I would like to understand how #markmanson can shittily rewrite the bare basics of #stoicism and score a New York Times bestseller and make a bazillion dollars without ever citing stoicism even once.

Dude stole a tenet from Epictetus who, for the record, spent 30 years in slavery before becoming one of the world’s greatest philosophers. Talk about living your principles, and Mark couldn’t even spare an endnote 😤

Being happy all the time means nothing needs to change.'

This rich white guy in 'The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck' doesn't see his privilege. He has some good (obvious) points, but he's a trust fund kid. #MarkManson

"Lord grant me the confidence of an average white man."

And no, pain does not make you stronger, that feeling is a coping mechanism, drilled into us to keep us working. The holocaust was not "good" for people. OMG!

Some day he might face real trauma or pain. But I doubt it.

@wallflower Absolutely true. I became aware of him from the movie trailer. Recently, the "Everything is fucked" totally blew my mind. Full recommendations. If you intend to read it, I hope you will be at least as satisfied as well.

“Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of the next one. Don’t hope for a life without problems. There’s no such thing. Instead, hope for a life full of good problems.” ~ #MarkManson

4.5⭐️
This book showed up at exactly the right time, like a glass of ice water to the face. Turns out trying hard and failing is kind of the point. A definite reread. @IAmMarkManson #bookreview #reading #MarkManson #writingcommunity #amquerying

I don’t want to be on the wrong side of purpose
So the question of purpose has popped back on the scene today courtesy of Mark Manson's newsletter which I receive.

What is my purpose? Am I living a life of purpose?

It's a timely question for me because I have been questioning my motivation. What is it exactly that I am trying to do and for what purpose
