The subtle art of not giving a f*ck pisses me off every fucking time I see it. If you didn't give a fuck, you would spell out fuck like an adult.

A former boss bought me a copy of that book as a Christmas gift (instead of giving out bonuses). It took everything I had to not say "Wow, you really don't know me at all."

Use a sharpie to change the title to "the subtle art of not giving a fuck at work" and keep it on your desk

Maybe they did spell it out, the publisher changed it, and the author didn’t give a fuck?

Oh no the fuck word

I haven't because I don't give a fuck about it

[-] Zedd00@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

No. Why would I give a fuck about a book that proves with its title that it doesn't know shit about the subject of the book? That'd be like buying "every way to cook a steak: 500 recipes for microwaving filet mignon"

no but the cover is all I need to judge it

I started it, and it's bad. I must've read 25 pages.

It's very poorly written, it reads like it was written by someone who only speaks English as a second language, or a teenager. With an added layer of trying to sound deep and wise.

Whatever substance there might be in there was destroyed by who terrible it was to read.

Glad to see ignorance is alive and well

I have, and it was basically a curse-word ridden version of another book that was published around the same time. The "unfucked" version was better IMO, but I don't remember what it was called. I guess gimmicks really do help a book succeed.

Maybe you're thinking of "Let Them" by Mel Robbins? It's newer but a more positive way to say the same thing.
