WINNER: The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck By Mark Manson

By: Chris Murimi

*** WINNER: Kshs. 500/= ($5) ***

The book, "Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck", has helped me rethink about my "self", re-structure and re-plan my goals & strategies towards achieving them. I realized that I have had too much pressure on succeeding not because I needed to, but because my friends are succeeding. A month ago my high school friend bought a car and that made me spend days strategizing on how I too should buy mine. The problem was that every move I made wasn't good enough and it resulted into making me feel like a loser.

Upon reading the book, it opened my mind and I realized that what matters most is not what people say or do to you. The most important  thing is where I personally want to be. Having too much to worry about kills the spirit of even willing to try. I don't say I immediately stopped giving fucks about things that matter less after reading the book; Instead, I immediately realized that I worry a lot even over small stuff! This book made me take a moment to reflect more and analyze if the worries are worthy it or not.

The book is a good one and it was worth the read of the week.
