Didn't like it much

Reviewed in India on 25 October 2018

Overrated. Didn't like it much. There were times I felt the author is contradicting himself. In the first few pages he tries hard to convey the message that you are plain average but towards the end of the book he conveys the opposite - that you are special :) It is different from other self-help books in the way that it doesn't glorify you as someone who is unique and one of a kind. He says that feeling entitled is the reason why people care about unimportant things the way they do. So don't get confused by the title (like I did), the entire book is more about how to not take yourself so seriously.

P.S: If you are looking to feel good, this might not be your cup of tea.

Unconventional Wisdom, you'd love reading it

Reviewed in India on 6 March 2019

Verified Purchase

This is one book that would definitely catch your eye, owing to its bright orange cover and a title that’s so unconventional! Kudos to Mark Manson for this! I don't think I'd have picked this up otherwise.

Okay. First things first, whether you like the book or not, whether you take anything substantial away from this book or not, whether you implement any wisdom described in the book in your life or not, I think you would definitely enjoy the way this book is written, its language and the general fun feeling of reading through a book, which I would safely put in the genre of ‘Unconventional Wisdom’.

I loved reading this book! I think it’s very relatable, the way the author has described various instances and examples. However, implementing the same attitude in your life might be tricky and difficult. If you can implement it the way the author intends to, I think you would be on your path to a successful life. I think this book is especially useful for people who keep worrying about trivial things way too much. The book will teach you to focus on larger things and don’t care about petty stuff that has no meaning or effect on your life.

The book will also teach you to embrace mediocrity because admit it, not everyone is going to be great. But it also teaches you that such acceptance is the first step towards achieving something better, if not something great.

However, I think the book’s target audience is the younger generation, young adults. The book will make you realize some things which you already know but you couldn’t admit to yourself. Some parts would be extremely funny, just because of the way certain things are described and put together in the book. Some other parts would be really enlightening. Also, there would be times when the author reminisces about his past, which can get slightly boring and dragging, even exaggerated.

Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
- “People who become great at something become great because they understand that they’re not already great - they are mediocre, they are average - and that they could be so much better.”
- “You always get to choose how you see things, how you react to things, how you value things.”
- “If you’re stuck on a problem, don’t sit there and think about it, just start working on it. Even if you don’t know what you’re doing, the simple act of working on it will eventually cause the right ideas to show up in your head.”
- “You too are going to die, and that’s because you too were fortunate enough to have lived.”
- “Pain, in all of its forms, is our body’s most effective means of spurring action.”
- “Not giving a f does not mean being indifferent, it means being comfortable with being different.”

To conclude, I would recommend this one to my fellow readers (or non-readers). Cheers!

An eye-opener

Reviewed in India on 12 December 2018

Well, I really picked it up, thanks to a lightning deal, just to see what's the big hype about this book. What's so catchy other than the title that everyone is talking about it so much? And oh boy, I tell you - if you can endure the first 12 pages of it (which seem to be almost a blasphemy by a junkie, and I almost thought of leaving it twice), thereon it's just an uphill; it's an eye-opener.
Although a bit lengthy for the content, it sites some very good examples, apart from author's own messed up life, to open our eyes.
The last chapter was intense, thoughtful and all those adjectives, but the real eye-opener which, for me, brought the book from 3 stars to 4 and a must read and totally worth it (of course other chapters were great too, but all those and this 1 put together was great)!
Even if you don't feel like reading the whole book (for it is somewhat lengthy), do not miss the last chapter - there is a very important perspective you'll gain just from that.
Happy reading!

Trash

Reviewed in India on 1 November 2018

Verified Purchase

The Title of the book was very catchy. I have in the recent past given too many 'Effs' and I really want to start giving less 'Effs' or rather 'Effs' about the important things. This is what the blurb and title of the book promised to help the reader with, and this is covered only in first chapter although there are many contradicting statements in that as well. The next was unrelated to the whole thing about not giving 'Effs' but was still decent. From then onwards the book (is it supposed to even be a book ? ) went on rambling nonsense , and from the middle of the book, from the chapter on not believing what we believe the book became TOTAL TRASH. Surely the things we believe may seem absurd 500 years from now, but what was he trying to get at.? How is it at all relevant to the Title ? Even after that there is nothing in this Trash. I regret buying this consumerist, superficial JUNK of a product .

1. The printing intensity of ink on inside pages is inconsistent light/dark with marks and blemishes
2. There are several blank pages inside
3. There are two different types of paper used in the book
4. The cover and back page printing is poor quality and colours are bleeding
5. MRP in Rs. is not printed though on back page it mentions “For Sale in Indian Subcontinent Only” – it is mandatory to do so for any Indian publication
