Un livre de développement personnel pour ceux qui détestent le développement personnel

Le discours ambiant nous pousse sans cesse à nous améliorer. Sois plus heureux. Sois en meilleure santé. Sois plus intelligent, plus rapide, plus riche, plus sexy, plus productif. Mais il faut en finir avec la pensée positive, nous dit Mark Manson. "Soyons honnêtes : parfois tout va de travers, et il faut faire avec."

Depuis quelques années, à travers son blog au succès phénoménal, Mark Manson explore les aspirations délirantes qui déforment notre perception du monde. Il propose ici sa sagesse pratique, joyeusement insolente. C'est en regardant en face nos peurs, nos défauts et nos incertitudes - en arrêtant de fuir et d'éviter -, que nous pourrons trouver le courage et la confiance qui nous manquent tant.

Mark Manson invite à un moment de parler vrai en mode je-te-regarde-dans-les-yeux, fait d'histoires vécues et d'humour potache. Un livre-manifeste pour construire des vies plus réjouissantes, plus ancrées.

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

L'une des plus grandes stars de notre époque se révèle pour la première fois dans un livre courageux et inspirant de ses débuts à son incroyable succès qu'il lui a fallu faire rimer avec bonheur et relations humaines. Will raconte l'un des parcours les plus exceptionnels du monde de la musique et du cinéma.

Enfant des quartiers de Philadelphie, Will Smith est devenu l'un des plus grands rappeurs de sa génération, puis l'une des plus célèbres personnalités de l'histoire du cinéma.
Il pensait tout avoir : un succès incomparable et une famille au firmament du monde du divertissement. Mais ses proches étaient loin de partager sa vision des choses : eux se sentaient pris au piège du star-system, un travail à plein temps pour lequel ils n'avaient jamais signé.
Ce récit est le fruit d'une longue traversée vers la (re)connaissance de soi, une exploration des pouvoirs sans pareil de la volonté : de tout ce qu'elle peut vous apporter et vous aider à vous défaire. Écrit avec l'aide de Mark Manson, auteur du bestseller mondial L'art subtil de s'en foutre, Will nous apprend à maîtriser nos émotions pour nous améliorer, et nous prouve que tout le monde peut y parvenir. S'il est vrai que peu d'entre nous connaîtront la pression d'évoluer sur les plus grandes scènes internationales, cette quête vers l'équilibre et l'épanouissement n'en résonnera pas moins en chacun de nous.
L'alliance d'une authentique sagesse fondée sur des valeurs universelles et d'une histoire de vie captivante, place Will, le livre, comme son auteur, dans une catégorie tout à fait hors-norme.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.

We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.

What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.

Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself.

With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had.

Will Smith's transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well. But it's only half the story.

Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over.

This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one exceptional man mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.

'Bracingly honest, vivid and compelling ... how an average talent became the biggest movie star in the world' The Times

Chega de tentar buscar um sucesso que só existe na sua cabeça. Chega de se torturar para pensar positivo enquanto sua vida vai ladeira abaixo. Chega de se sentir inferior por não ver o lado bom de estar no fundo do poço.

Coaching, autoajuda, desenvolvimento pessoal, mentalização positiva — sem querer desprezar o valor de nada disso, a grande verdade é que às vezes nos sentimos quase sufocados diante da pressão infinita por parecermos otimistas o tempo todo. É um pecado social se deixar abater quando as coisas não vão bem. Ninguém pode fracassar simplesmente, sem aprender nada com isso. Não dá mais. É insuportável. E é aí que entra a revolucionária e sutil arte de ligar o foda-se.

Mark Manson usa toda a sua sagacidade de escritor e seu olhar crítico para propor um novo caminho rumo a uma vida melhor, mais coerente com a realidade e consciente dos nossos limites. E ele faz isso da melhor maneira. Como um verdadeiro amigo, Mark se senta ao seu lado e diz, olhando nos seus olhos: você não é tão especial. Ele conta umas piadas aqui, dá uns exemplos inusitados ali, joga umas verdades na sua cara e pronto, você já se sente muito mais alerta e capaz de enfrentar esse mundo cão.

Para os céticos e os descrentes, mas também para os amantes do gênero, enfim uma abordagem franca e inteligente que vai ajudar você a descobrir o que é realmente importante na sua vida, e f*da-se o resto. Livre-se agora da felicidade maquiada e superficial e abrace esta arte verdadeiramente transformadora.
