On July 4th of this year, I was finally hitting my stride. After a year of visa troubles, I had secured a three-year visa. I was finally back in the writing rhythm I had been in before my visa troubles started.
Things had been fucked, and they had become unfucked. Little did I know, everything was about to get even more fucked than it was before.
One thing that got me through the fuckedness that ensued – you’ll hear about it in this conversation – was that I had read Everything is Fucked, by Mark Manson (@iammarkmanson).
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
How can a book called Everything is Fucked possibly be, as the subtitle promises, A Book About Hope? Everything being fucked doesn’t require hope. Hope requires everything to be fucked. I’ve talked before on the show about living an “antifragile” life. Learn how to avoid having what Mark calls “fragile values." Mark says “if there’s no reason to live, then there’s no reason to not live.” How can what Mark calls “the uncomfortable truth,” be liberating, instead of deflating?Photo by Maria Midoes
