For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, 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*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

This audiobook is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.

Editor reviews
Summary
It has been passed down through the ages, highly coveted, hidden, lost, stolen, and bought for vast sums of money. Fragments of this Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. It has been understood by some of the most prominent people in history: Plato, Galileo, Beethoven, Edison, Carnegie, and Einstein, along with other renowned inventors, theologians, scientists, and great thinkers.
For the first time, all the pieces of the Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life transforming for all who experience it.
In this audiobook you will discover the Secret, and you will learn how to have, do, or be anything you want. You will learn how to use the Secret in every area of your life. You will hear from modern-day teachers - men and women who have used the Secret to achieve health, prosperity, relationships, and happiness. They share their incredible stories of using the Secret to eradicate disease, acquire massive wealth, overcome obstacles, and achieve what many would regard as impossible. Through them, you will begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that is within you, and the true magnificence that awaits you.

Don’t waste your money or credits
This book is great for people who have only experienced good things in their life. It’s great to tell people who have experienced good that they’re doing good but telling people who has experienced bad that it is basically their own fault is not good. Why would anyone want any horrific events to happen in their life?! I do not recommend at all

horrific
The only secret that needs sharing is don't waste your money on this book. From the beginning I was shocked and disgusted, that apparently we attract our own heart ache by the fact, it maybe, our worst fear! This is a huge insult my 2 year old son was murdered, did he deserve that? did I or his older brother deserve and actually attract that heart break? No I don't believe we did. For a book that supposes to build you up and give positive focus for me I couldn't get past this disgraceful belief.

This book should be burned
There is no way to attract anything unless you take action.
The point of the law of attraction is twisted to some weirded creation of a cult.
If the message was to think positive you will attract positivity would be great.
If you think that you can make something happen and act on it till you do then the message of the book it would be great.
Some narrators seem to have the above opinion (that you have to act in order to get what you want) but again they twist the message by saying that you if think about something, feel that you already own it and it will come.
This book is literally a plague for the young generation that makes them lazy believing things will happen.
Take action people!

Not sure what to make of this....
Has The Secret put you off other books in this genre?
Yes
Any additional comments?
50% of the world will find this book fantastic - 50% will be scratching their heads. I can relate to both camps, the concept here is really "be positive" and focus on key outcomes as this ultimately drives success and behaviour - but the essence of this book is about wishing for success and that process alone will secure that success. I don't like the analogy that links illness such as cancer or a disability as being a result of negative thinking........This must have been written as part of a ceremony to secure tenure in a cult.

If you like simple answer
Positive thinking is one thing but blaming victims for being victims is beyond my resistance. With in the first hour you will read that victims of the genocide, crime, rape, murder, have attracted this evil by there way of thinking. It never mentions how babies and very young children attract this kind of horror.
If you like simple answer and are stupidly materialistic this book is for you. If you want to believe that cancer, Nazis, hunger, and natural disasters are made up by your mind this is your book.
I can not believe that intelligent people are not lining up to denounce this garbage.

The Secret is Toxic Positivity
Have you ever been in a car accident? Have you ever gotten sick? Maybe a disability? According to this author, you have brought all these things upon yourself because your thoughts are not focused on the positive
I agree that a positive mindset can help you live a happy life. But The Secret tells us that happiness and gratitude are the only emotions we should allow in our lives. This kind of thinking is dangerous and encourages denial of reality.
Humanity has a wealth of circumstances and emotions. I think the positive mindset and daily gratitude are good takeaways from this book but it’s larger message that anyway who has experienced unfortunate circumstances has their own thoughts to blame is a toxic idea.

Good for an intro to the Law of Attraction
I am giving this book 4 stars, not because the author was so spectacular, but because I think this book is very important as an intro to the Law of Attraction for people who really don't know much about it. After getting turned on to this stuff, and you want to know more, I recommend looking into Ask and It Is Given by Esther & Jerry Hicks, The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer, and my favorite, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra. You will also hear a lot of quotes from other people in The Secret, I suggest looking deeper into their work if one of their quotes is especially meaningful to you.

You're better off with the DVD
I normally prefer the complete, unabridged version of most Audiobooks, for maximum reading pleasure. In "The Secret," however, I found the unabridged audio version contrary to the themes and purpose of the book: There's too much negativity. Interviewed experts rant ad nauseum, with far too many examples of how our negativity affects us.
I watched the abridged DVD several months after discarding the present audiobook. The 90-minute DVD format was both tight and focused. The downside of negativity was appropriately presented, without being "dragged out" at the reader's and the book's emotional expense.
Not Recommended.

Take from it only what you need. Throw out the rest!
As a skeptic and realist, I was able to pull out from it a couple of helpful points. I strongly feel that someone who puts to use every aspect of this they are taught, they will sacrifice compassion and empathy. Think I’m wrong? I’ve met these people. So while some aspects are helpful, many instructions if followed would result in emotionally detached self focused people. The world does not need more of these people. The world needs more compassion and empathy.

Wonderful
Read it..over and over again until it clicks. If you are not ready, put it aside until it calls you. It puts in easy to understand language much of what most religions have taught for ages (without the need for control). Listen carefully. And think back on your own experiences to find that what is being said is true. Even if you don't believe, you'll at the very least begin to think about your thoughts and maybe you'll end up happier. Worth the investment.

perspective
I think it it a great book on audible but its a book that walks a fine line on being great and completely awful...let me explain...well, I believe your opinion of the book it going to be based solely on how literally you believe in the "secret" as described by the book ...meaning...if you take it as "if i think it..it well come "...you will think the book is a joke ..and idiotic..and some reviews i think reflect that...yet on the other hand I say its a great book because on the other side of things(how I take the message) is from the "perspective" that if you believe in something and keep a tunnel vision type focus on achieving it...anything is is possible..i think the book is truly about ones focus...simple as that...some say its like an 'adult fairytale" but isnt that the same as a person's having dream to create something from nothing (or like such goal as creating ones business,etc)...so again...how you take the words of the book will be how you view it...rather as a terrible book or great inspiration.

review of the audio only--not of the content
Plenty of people have written about the content, so I will write aout the actual recorded version.
For whatever the content is worth, I think this makes an excellent audiobook. The reading is clear and enthusiastic. The sections of the book are well broken up and there is a different voice that reads the end of chapter summary, so you know where you are at the end of a section. The use of different voices is exceptionally good - I think it breaks up what might otherwise be a pretty monotonous reading. All of the voices are different and yet still expressive. While the main reader has an Australian accent, she is easy to understand; all of the other readers have American accents.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two things though:
1) the music is awful new age-y stuff. it's not at all necessary and what they picked was just terrible. it's not enough to distract from the reading, but it'll date the audio pretty quickly.
2) there are a couple of sections where the reader (the author) is clearly in love with her own ideas and you can hear the "look how amazing i am!" in her voice. it's kind off-putting in the sense that what she's describing isn't all that remarkable.

Great production of an audio book
Really enjoyed this audio book. The production was wonderful and made it easy to listen to, understand, and enjoy. Instead of someone just reading straight through a book, it was filled with audio clips and interview sections from different people. I assume these were excerpts from the movie, but it was a wonderful audio format that others should emulate. I liked it very much. Oh yea...the message was good too. Full break down into the power of positive thinking. It has made me a more positive thinker.

Brainwash hogwash
I have several reasons for disliking this selection:
1. "The Secret" is positive thinking. Positive thinking is not a secret.
2. All of the "world-renown" scientists and leading thinkers on The Secret are people of whom I've never heard... and are all American. Why aren't there any Indian or Swiss or British or Japanese thinkers on here? Why only Americans? Also, most of them are motivational speakers or self-help types. In other words, professional cheerleaders who give you just enough motivation to buy their next book or go to their next seminar.
3. The author (who is an Australian TV producer, BTW) seems to espouse a fairly selfish way of thinking. In no part of this book does she mention how this ethic can help the ills of the world, only the ills of me.

5. I am fat because I eat too much and don't exercise enough, not because I think that food makes me fat.
Here's some free advice: Think positive thoughts and don't buy this book. There is no secret to life: live with passion, focus and love and good things will come to you. Any fortune cookie could tell you the same.
