The book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson is our next pick for a Market Mamas Must Read recommendation! It is really so good at challenging one’s perspectives about how real happiness is actually achieved and how problems are never truly eliminated. Manson points out in different ways and with different stories that human beings are flawed and sugar coating that doesn’t do anyone any favors. We love the fact he spells out that we only have so many fucks to give. So we have to be selective with that allocation in order to not burn out and become miserable. If we can dial in our priorities enough so that we are only entertaining the issues that really are in alignment with our values and goals, then we can better reach clarity on how we should be measuring our own happiness. There’s so much more to it too, and of course it is very relatable with our trading journeys! These lessons will be refreshing and smart, so check it out with us!
