key points from "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson: 

Choose Carefully: The book advises us to be picky about what we care deeply about in life. We have limited energy, so it's important to focus on what truly matters.

It's Okay Not to Be Positive All the Time The book suggests that acknowledging life's challenges and negatives can lead to a happier and more honest life. 

Know Your Values : Discovering and living by our core values is crucial for happiness. Happiness comes from aligning our actions with what we truly believe in. 

Take Responsibility:  Manson encourages us to take ownership of our lives, even when things go wrong. By doing this, we gain more control over our happiness. 

Embrace Pain and Failure: Life involves setbacks and pain. Avoiding them can make us unhappier. Embrace these experiences as opportunities to learn and grow. 

The Backwards Law :  Pursuing happiness can ironically lead to unhappiness. Instead, embracing challenges can make life more fulfilling.

Set Limits: Learn to say no and set boundaries. It can give you more freedom and make you happier. 

Think About Death Reflecting on your mortality can motivate you to live a more meaningful life and focus on what truly matters.
