Book notes - The subtle art of not giving a fuck

Problems are a constant in life. Problems never stop; they merely get exchanged and/or upgraded. Choose the problems you’re willing to suffer for and happiness will com from solving them.

Summary

This book is a mix of budism, psychology, stories and personal experiences. It’s written in a pleasant and entertaining format.

While the book touches on many aspects of life and happyness these are the ideas i’d like to keep:

On live, problems and happiness …

• life is a series of problems that never stop
• choose conciously the problems you’re willing to solve
• giving a fuck about too many things makes one miserable
• making something extraordinary requires time, effort and concentration

On one’s believes …

• the brain is an association machine with many limitations, be a little less certain of your belives
• “you” are is an arbitrary mental construction that you should let go of
