Materially, everything is the best it's ever been, yet somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly #@%! ed. What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. Manson draws on mountains of psychological research, as well as on the timeless wisdom of philosophers from Plato to Tom Waits, to dissect religion, politics, money, entertainment, and the internet. With his usual mix of erudition and humor, Manson challenges us to be more honest with ourselves, openly defying our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom - and even of hope itself. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.
