Book review: The subtle art of not giving a F:)ck

Yoo, dear friends,

This time I wanted to give you another insight for your future. So, have written this book review in my own words for you guys. Enjoy and Keep reading. :)

You might be heard or already read a book named "The subtle art of not giving a F:)ck" by Mark Manson. It is a type of personal development and the New York Times bestseller.

The subtle art of not giving fuck book cover

If you haven't read or thinking to read this book, I will give you a brief review of it. And if you already read this book, may remind you of some of the points. :)

First of all, I am going to ask a couple questions and you guys answer.

Q1. When is the last time this thought came to your head.?.?. 

"Ohhh, If I do this, what will others think about me??"

Q2. When is the last time you felt this..?.

"Ohhh god, it's going to fail and others will laugh at me!"


If you do feel above feelings at any of point of time, this book may suggest some thoughts which will help you not to think like above!.

Some points mentioned in the book, you may don't like or disagree, but still, I encourage you to finish this post, cause I felt that too. :)

The very first thing the book suggested for us is "Don't Try Too Hard".

According to the book, some people try too hard for everything and at last give a A F:)ck to everything and dependent on somebody or something.
For example, I should talk politely to everybody because people will like me after this and which goes on and on. One day, if you upset and talk a bit rudely with somebody, then a whole day you will feel guilty and which goes on and on....

To live simply happy, just no need to try too hard and try to please everybody! Instead be yourself, sometimes it is good to not a f:)ck to not good people.  Give a f:)ck for important things!

Agree that You Are Not Special, don't become Entitled one
This is a next big message from an author for us.

Nowadays, we want us to be entitled and become very special. Sometimes, because of this self-thought people hurt us since not everyone thinks that we are special.
It is good to live close to ground :)


Value of Suffering and Acceptance of Failure is one of the ways to move forward. So what is the value? The value is the thing which is important to you. Be ready to get what your important things.

Of course, we are human, will make a small or big mistakes which we call failures. But embrace the failure and accept, learn from it. And move forward for your value.

Book described that "self-improvement" is prioritizing better values, choosing better things to give a f.ck about. Because when you give better f.cks, you get better problems. And when you get better problems, you get a better life.


At last, The Importance of Saying No

It is appreciable to say NO! at the right time, to the right person.

When things not going well, openly and without apologies say the truth, that is honesty!


To not make a long post, I wrote the main points from the book which you may find interesting. The main message from the book is, I think,

Be free and don't live under somebody's shadow. 


P.S:  This may answer the above 2 questions and made you think for a while about your life!

Keep reading and Enjoy :)

How did I learn Japanese kanjis in a week?

Started liking to make such quotes with an image Dear friends, A long time later I am updating my blog! As I live in Japan, today would like to share how I gain big interest in learning Japanese kanji, in other words it's Japanese characters, are words. Most people really freak out studying kanjis, because simply it looks very difficult to memorize, write and its pronunciation also hard to get. But if you know many kanjis, Japan is really great place for living. Let's start kanji study more deeply. 1. Don't freak out, instead interest it If you ever learning Japanese, you must have heard many people saying "Ohh I really don't like studying kanjis, it's too difficult" . Then you may started thinking the same as them. But here I am encouraging you to "Do not freak out" , instead think in a good way that you are interested in things which many people don't like. And try to make your kanji study in an interesting way. Maybe you...

[Personal opinion] Most important 25 things that I understand by the age of 25

Hello, my friends I hope every one of you doing great! It's been for some time that I really wanted to write down about the most important 25 things that I understand when turning 25 years old. Have been writing a few drafts, today I just combined them and publishing it on my blog. This writing is only based on my personal experiences, books I read, and thoughts and self-reflections. Also tried to write it in my own words, so please take it well. :) As you know, each individual has their own way of thinking and life perspective, so I'd like to request rather take those writings as positively and if something useful, go ahead and try on yourself. :) Alright, here are the most important 25 things that I really understand by the age of 25. 1. Family is the most precious. I think family is the most loyal group of people to us. They never forget or leave us, only thing they give to us is themselves.  Even though we behave rudely or selfish and even to fight with the...
