The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is one of my favorite books from 2016. In this two part video, I go over a book summary, my thoughts on Mark Mansons most recent book, and how to apply these profound concepts. SAONGAF: http://geni.us/10lQiZr My thoughts and summary of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k are organized in two parts. Part 1: Embrace the uncomfortable - everything worthwhile in life is won through surmounting the associated negative experience The problem with happiness - the struggles that you overcome are important to creating and sustaining happiness Life goals - ask yourself what are you willing to struggler for? Embrace challenges and failures - one day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful Be honest with yourself - ask yourself how you feel about the negative aspects of yourself. If you can honestly assess your negative values and work on improving them, youre in a good spot. Choose your values carefully - dont compare yourself to others. Choosing your values comes down to priorities. What are the values that you prioritize above everything else and therefore influence your decision making more than anything else? Better values better problems better life Part 2: https://youtu.be/zEESDrgidRM Take responsibility - taking ownership of your problems (NOT the same as taking fault) empowers you to solve them and make a positive change in your life Dont be so certain - certainty is the enemy of humility. Uncertainty is necessary for progress and growth Youre not special - measure yourself in mundane ways. Give up on the grandiose ideas of yourself: that youre uniquely intelligent, or talented, or good looking, or victimized in ways others couldnt even imagine Define your goals wisely - Traditional goals like graduating from college are limited in the amount of happiness they can generate. Rather, our proudest achievements come in the face of the greatest adversity. Sustain the pain - embrace the pain youve chosen and savor it. Just do it - Action isnt just the effect of motivation; its also the cause of it Choose quality over quantity - there is increased freedom from commitment Remember youre going to die - reminding ourselves that life is finite helps us remove the superficial values that weigh us down Music: https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired/golden-hour WEBSITE: https://medschoolinsiders.com TWITTER: https://twitter.com/MedInsiders FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/medschoolinsiders INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/medschoolinsiders
