RE: Envy, A FreeWrite
The cover blurb:
... 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.
Let's send Oprah Winfrey to the curbside and live life as it comes.
And let the true stories out by freewriting.
Yeah!
Even if the Not Giving a F^^k author is a millennial trotting out his own buzz words and F-bombs for shock value. We can only take so much positivity, right? :)
Sometimes the crabby old lady on sitcoms makes us laugh because she has the guts to say what she thinks without fear of consequences. She's in her final years. No time to waste, to suffer fools.
My big mistake was thinking that I could be like that before age 50. Live and Learn, and read Dale Carnegie!
