Choose your values wisely. - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Mark Manson highlights the importance of having the ability to choose where our attention goes, and choosing better values. We must align our values to the main question of life, being: "What will be your legacy?".
My main takeaways are the following:
  • The breadth of our experience locates the gold, while the depth of our experience digs for it.
  • Choosing X means saying no to everything else that is not X
  • One does not simply stop giving a f*ck, but must choose what he gives a f*ck about. The art is in choosing where to focus your attention, and not giving a f*ck about everything else.
  • Kill your entitlement, it's not good for you or anyone. It's not always about you.
  • Choose, accept, and bear your pain. Suffering in life is inevitable, and one can even argue that it is what makes life...life. Choose your pain and at least make it something you deem worthwhile. Both being unhealthy (illness) and healthy (exercise) cause suffering, you must decide which one you want.
