“Hopelessness is the root of anxiety, mental illness, and depression. It is the source of all misery and the cause of all addiction.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“So, instead of looking for hope, try this:
Don't hope.
Don't despair, either.
In fact, don't deign to believe you know anything. It's that assumption of knowing with such blind, fervent, emotional certainty that gets us into these kinds of pickles in the first place.
Don't hope for better. Just be better.
Be something better. Be more compassionate, more resilient, more humble, more disciplined. [...]
Be a better human.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“Freedom itself demands discomfort.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“No, the opposite of happiness is hopelessness, an endless gray horizon of resignation and indifference.3 It’s the belief that everything is fucked, so why do anything at all?”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope
