    This is written by the author of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck", so gratuitous cursing is his schtick.

    The book is actually more interesting than you'd think from the title, but (IMHO) the profanity still distracts from the message, and like most self-improvement books you could probably condense the 200+ pages into 10.

      And if you read one, you read at least 80% of all the content of the others. Some are good and you get 20% of novelty, but that's rare
