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 its ever beenwe are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*ckedthe 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 couldnt even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness. Whats going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, its 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 didntand 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, freedomand 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 havent considered before. Its 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.

Overraskende og ærlig fra en av verdens mest kjente skuespillere. Da Will Smith var 12 år gammel, fikk faren ham til å bygge en mur. Det føltes som en umulig oppgave, men hvis han tenkte for mye på det, ble han bare nedtrykt. Han lærte seg å fokusere på en murstein av gangen, og stablet dem så godt han kunne. En dag var veggen ferdig. Lærdommen har han tatt med seg inn i alle utfordringer han senere har møtt i sin karriere. I boka, som er skrevet i samarbeid med suksessforfatter Mark Manson, forteller han overraskende ærlig om sine opp- og nedturer i livet. Den handler om oppvekst, kjærlighet, farsrolle - og om jobben som en av verdens mest kjente filmstjerner.

Fra forfatteren av den internasjonale bestselgeren "Den edle kunsten å gi f**n". Materielt sett har vi aldri hatt det så godt som nå, og vi er rikere, friskere og friere enn noe folkeslag har vært på noe tidspunkt i historien. Men det er mørke skyer i horisonten med tanke på fremtiden: Klimaet er i ferd med å bryte sammen. Regjeringer mislykkes. Økonomier kollapser. Selv om vi har tilgang på teknologi, utdanning og kommunikasjonsmuligheter våre forfedre bare kunne drømme om, føler mange i dagens samfunn likevel på en stor håpløshet. Mark Manson er mannen bak bestselgeren Den edle kunsten å gi f**n - en bok som på briljant vis klarte å sette ord på den evige angstfølelsen som gjennomsyrer det moderne livet. Han viste oss at vårt overskyggende behov for alltid å jakte på lykken bare tjener til å gjøre oss mer ulykkelige. I Alt går til h*lvete vender han oppmerksomheten mot all den ufattelige elendigheten som foregår i verden rundt oss. Ved hjelp av et vell av psykologisk forskning på disse temaene, så vel som tidløs visdom fra filosofer som Platon, Nietzsche og Tom Waits, dissekerer han religion og politikk, ser på vårt forhold til penger, underholdning og Internett, og på hvordan for mye av det gode ikke nødvendigvis er bra for oss. Manson utfordrer oss til å være ærligere mot oss selv og få kontakt med verden på nye måter. Han utfordrer også definisjonene våre av lykke, tro og frihet - og håp.
