    I have, and it was basically a curse-word ridden version of another book that was published around the same time. The “unfucked” version was better IMO, but I don’t remember what it was called. I guess gimmicks really do help a book succeed.

      I have as well, and Mark Manson is a really intelligent writer. That book is still on the shelves for a reason.

      Everyone uses gimmicks.

      Maybe you’re thinking of “Let Them” by Mel Robbins? It’s newer but a more positive way to say the same thing.

        I don’t think so. There was a book where the author looked at basically the same groups of people (stoics, buddhists, etc.) but it didn’t have the same buzzy title. I think I loaded both onto my Kindle from pdf so now I can’t find a reference to either. Oh well.
