The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the EnemyFrom the author of the international megabestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.We live in an interesting time. Materially; everything is the best it's ever been; yet somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly fucked. What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it; it's Mark Manson. In Everything Is Fucked; Manson draws on mountains of psychological research; as well as on the timeless wisdom of philosophers from Plato to Tom Waits; to dissect religion; politics; money; entertainment; and the internet.With his usual mix of erudition and humor; Manson challenges us to be more honest with ourselves; openly defying our definitions of faith; happiness; freedom--and even of hope itself. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.
