Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,029
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.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Editorial Reviews
Our species has only roamed the Earth for 200,000 years — but in that time, we’ve done more to change the face of the planet than any other creature in existence. In his provocative best-selling work Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari takes listeners on a journey through the history of mankind, from the Stone Age to today.
Over the course of this un-pausable audiobook, Harari examines how each generation of humanity left its mark on the planet - and how we’re still changing our world as each day passes.
Audie Award-winning English voice actor Derek Perkins skilfully navigates this thorough, research-driven work, setting the perfect tone for this riveting audiobook with his deep, intellectual delivery.
To put it simply in the words of one listener: 'Prepare to have your mind blown'.

Insightful and well-narrated
Such soothing narration. The narrator has done a fantastic job. Where to take a moment, where to speak, everything is so well calculated. I just finished the book and now I'm really disappointed that I can't listen to it all over again, like the first time. I don't get much time to read these days so I decided to try audiobooks while doing lab work. The contents of this book are amazing. The history seems very well researched and I'll make it a point to check if some of the information is correct or not. But the content was very well linked, with smooth transition from one topic to another. I did not know that Homo sapiens share such history and the hidden sarcasm by the author just steals the show at times. I feel like I have done myself a favor for listening to this audiobook.

Gross generalization, still good summary
Wish my history lessons were this easy to hear to. Who needs the details. A good summary of what we can learn from history is what everyone should get. this book is a good attempt. Nice free flowing thoughts. felt like I was being released from prejudice with each topic.
The summary on religion and how even though we say we are very different but at a very high level do the Same thing was a nice observation. A must read for every young mind before they form strong obsession with one religion and hate for others.
