1) "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. Or to put it more simply : don't try"
-Mark Manson is a blunt, profanity using author, but his words are symbolic simultaneously. I choose this excerpt because it represents his persistent theme throughout the book: "dont try". He's saying if you chase the things you dont already have and try to find the meaning of them, youll be chasing forever. He's suggesting to be content with what you have and to do your best with it. Because when you start chasing, you start losing what you have.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Self-awareness : To start out the book, Mark (my aforementioned author) talked about a failure who remained a failure and reached success. He says, " he realized, probably the only one he would ever get". He's saying that, that person was SELF AWARE that his opportunities were seldom and jumped on them immediately. Which is a reoccurring theme in my book

Self-management: Throughout the whole book, he always talking about realizing that you have mistakes or that you arent perfect and accepting them. Using them to your advantage or taking off that burden.

Self-motivation: He talks about surpassing everyones expectations including your own. He says (in my own words) that using that as fuel and get you the way

Social-Awareness: Again, to start off the book, he talks a failure who has success. he said that, that person used his failures and shared them, making him successful.

Relationship Management: He talks about not being a couch potato, do good for yourself or others rather than bringing them down.

3) Someone who is stress full should most definitely read this book. He talks about where to implement your (excuse my language) "f***s". He says to not stress the minpr things and focus on the big problems. EX: dont worry about your show cancelling, worry about your credit card maxing out. This can be very insightful for someone who"s stressed.

4) To reiterate, ive learned many lessons. Ive learned to not stress the little things. Ive learned to be comfortable with my imperfections bc everybody has and/or makes them. All of everything ive learned ive already known it just reinforces it and makes me more educated.

~ I want to develop a better understanding of the differences between how failure and success push us forward.

~ i want to know why the author chose this title and if he has more opinion or fact.

~I want a broader perspective of myself and the role i play and if i wanna change it.
