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, Manson 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 modern 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*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - THE SPIRITUAL CLASSIC THAT HAS INFLUENCED MORE THAN 500,000 READERS
A deep, uncompromising story about human and divine love. -- Los Angeles Times
The profoundly moving and heart-rendering classic for anyone who has experienced the depths of love and loss. Reflecting on faith, vitality, and grief, this spiritual autobiography of a love rather than of the lovers opens our hearts and eyes to the true meaning of life, and death. In A Severe Mercy, Sheldon Vanauken stunningly chronicles his marriage to his beloved wife, Davy, his faith-forming friendship with C.S. Lewis and the tragedy that altered his soul and spirit completely.
With heavy passion, Van unravels a love story formed by intense romance and commitment, and a bond he refers to as the Shining Barrier. A bond that is unaltered by the outside world and its influences until he meets C.S Lewis while studying at Oxford. Lewis introduces Davy and Van to Christianity, and their devotion to God quickly becomes as strong as their devotion to one another.
In rapid succession, Davy succumbs to a fatal illness and a grief-stricken Van is left to process this unspeakable loss, and subsequently discover the meaning of a mercy as severe as death, a severity as merciful as love.
For fans of When Breath Becomes Air and Being Mortal, this impactful masterpiece allows readers of all beliefs to envision life after loss, and the spiritual strength that ultimately leads us forward after unspeakable tragedy. Weaving in 18 original letters from C.S. Lewis himself, A Severe Mercy poetically addresses some of the universal questions that surround faith, and its remarkable role during times of both radiant joy and immense suffering.
The Spiritual Journey of Grief
A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the mad midnight moments, A Grief Observed is an unflinchingly truthful account of how loss can lead even a stalwart believer to lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.
From one of the most widely-influential Christian writers of all time - German theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer - now the subject of a major motion picture
Famed Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together is a bold and daring look at Christian life, and what cross-centered living can look like for all believers. Renowned for his thoughts on Christianity's role in the secular world, Bonhoeffer, also the author of bestselling The Cost of Discipleship, allows readers to deepen their faith and fellowship through actionable steps towards building lasting and meaningful communities.
In Life Together, Bonhoeffer, famous for his involvement in a plot to overthrow Adolph Hitler, recounts his unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years in Germany. Through this one-of-a-kind lived experience, he compassionately yet challengingly defines what living in a community is all about, and the divine importance of it.
In five brief, yet rich, chapters, Bonhoeffer enlightens us on:
- How to build a meaningful community, through both mutual affection for Christ and for each other
- The fundamental elements of community, including prayer, worship, and service, but also listening, comforting, and confessing sins to one another
- How love permeates every aspect of community--love for God, one another, and the beauty of connection
- The role that loneliness and uncertainty play in finding community and answering God's call
Practical yet profound, this book remains the most influential and modern book on the nature and spirit of authentic Christian community. It reveals the communal Christian spirit that inspired Bonhoeffer and his Christian associates to conspire to assassinate Hitler as an act of true Christian love and courage. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
For almost 1,500 years, the New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand--and mistakes and intentional changes abound in the competing manuscript versions. Religious and biblical scholar Bart Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself are the results of both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes.
In this compelling and fascinating book, Ehrman shows where and why changes were made in our earliest surviving manuscripts, explaining for the first time how the many variations of our cherished biblical stories came to be, and why only certain versions of the stories qualify for publication in the Bibles we read today. Ehrman frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultra-conservative views of the Bible.

The groundbreaking bestseller on codependence--with more 750,000 copies sold--break the cycle, heal from past trauma, form fulfilling relationships, save your self-worth, and develop lasting, healthy habits and behavioral patterns
In Facing Codependence, Pia Mellody, internationally renowned expert on codependence and addiction recovery, decodes and identifies codependent thinking, emotions, and behavior and provides a proven roadmap to recovery.
For anyone who has been in a toxic relationship, engages in self-sabotaging behaviors themselves, or simply wants to be a better partner, and person, Facing Codependence dives into the core of human behavior and allows readers to:
- End toxic patterns, including love addiction, narcissism, alcoholism, and substance abuse
- Heal from dysfunctional family dynamics and end the cycle of abuse once and for all
- Ditch anxious and avoidant attachment to form stable and secure relationships
- Rediscover your sense of purpose, self-worth, and reclaim your identity and independence
Mellody simultaneously sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses that occur in childhood. Central to Mellody's approach is the concept that the codependent adult's injured inner child needs healing. Recovery from codependence, therefore, involves clearing up the toxic emotions left over from these painful childhood experiences. Unlearning behavioral patterns and easing the grip of trauma takes time and effort, but right here, right now, is where you start.
