May I ask, do you mean you dreamt of a snake entering the mouth of a woman, or your mouth? :unsure:

Neither, it was just for fun :D...When I saw this Gif, my first impression was possession of a woman by the Devil causing her to be jealous of others, always comparing, in greed with jealousy. That's my interpretation. What about you? :smile:

It is a scary dream. To swallow a snake seems like a tremendous feat for one but in the end the snake wins by pushing itself out of the eye .

Moral of the story : don’t eat snake. Now stop day dreaming and get back to work!
 
Started reading this book last night. It's pretty good stuff...I am serious ..

As of February 2018, over 2 million copies of the book had been sold.[2]

Contents

The book is a reaction to the self-help industry and what Manson saw as a culture of mindless positivity that isn't practical or helpful for most people.[3] Manson uses many of his own personal experiences to illustrate how life's struggles often give it more meaning, which, he argues, is a better approach than constantly trying to be happy.[4]

Manson's approach and writing style have been categorized by some as contrarian to the general self-help industry, using blunt honesty and profanity to illustrate his ideas.[4][5]

Reception

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ckfirst appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List at #6 for the category of How-to and Miscellaneous for the week of October 2, 2016.[6] and it reached #1 for the first time on July 16th, 2017.[7] As of February 18, 2018, it had been on the NYTimes best seller list for 60 weeks. [8]

The book also appeared on the Washington Post's Bestseller List at #9 in the Non-fiction/General category for the week of September 25, 2016,[9] and on the Toronto Star List at #1 in the Self-Improvement category on September 23, 2016.[10] In 2017, it was the best-selling nonfiction book from Barnes & Noble,[11] the #4 best-selling book on all of Amazon.com,[12] and the #9 best-selling book in Canada.[13]

Kirkus Reviews said that the book was "[a] good yardstick by which self-improvement books should be measured."[14]

Digest

In this generation-defining self-help guide, 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, Mason 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.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience.

A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Oh, don't even try to borrow this book from NLB. It's heavily reserved till end of the year with reservation queues hitting at least 80 or more reservations. Just go Kinokuniya and grab a copy. It's about $30 :)
 
Just to add (gosh, I am so long winded today), Mark Manson, the author, is a gambler and a frequent visitor to prostitutes. The book is peppered with crude words, and if you have the chance to borrow the Audio book from NLB, it should be fun listening, as the word "Fxxk" becomes "two dimensional" :biggrin:

Ok. Time to get changed and go to work. :biggrin:
