 The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson | Review by Mohini Jugran Heya guys!! How have you all been? After a really busy week, I am finally here to talk about this bestselling self-help book by Mark Manson.  𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫: Mark Manson 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: ⭐⭐⭐ 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 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 American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: When I started this one, I was very sceptical because it had kind of mixed reviews by everyone whom

Book Review: This is a very short collection of inspiring things. I read and re-read a couple of verses because they resonated a lot to me. There were certain things that made me stop and ponder over different aspects of life. It's a very thought-provoking and self-indulgent book. This book is a series of poems and parables that discuss the series of events in the general concept of life. It's is a mere outlook on what we as individuals experience in this society. Some ind

𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Indomitable 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫: Yezdi  𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: ⭐⭐⭐.5 Stars 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: Indomitable is a contemporary story that is about the dreams, aspirations, famil & heartbreak. It revolves around the protagonist Jamshed who is in his death-bed when he is reminiscing about his life and the choices he made. It was very engaging story to read which connected to me to a great extent. We all have our dreams and doubts. But no matter the obstacles, we keep on going on.  It was inspiring to read and even though at times I felt that the author is getting to much into explaining a situation that the entire connectivity was breaking, it was an overall good read for me. I also had trouble with the consistency of the storyline but after a number of pages it became clear what was actually going on. The book piqued my interest so it was read in quite a short span of time. What I liked the most was the way in which each emotion was described. I felt his pain and his happiness with h
