The Subtle Art of Not Giving a #@%!

I'm pretty ambivalent about this book. On one hand it's clear the author has a gift to write in an entertaining way and there are some real life truths in the book. On the other hand the book as a whole doesn't hold together much and the style is blunt, sometimes too blunt.

... um "Überlege Dir, was Dir wirklich wichtig ist" zu sagen. Und ja, der Autor hat eine sehr direkte Art sich auszudrücken; muss man mögen.

I like some of the things he says about improving mental health by not judging by others and not always having to be the best and appreciating what you have. But I can't help feeling that "Not Giving a Fuck" is a very privileged position to be in. Those who are disadvantaged by circumstance or discrimination may not have the luxury of this position.
