Everything is Screwed is an in-depth guide with unexpected insight into the problem of hope. We live in interesting times. Materially, everything is better than it has ever been: we are freer, healthier and richer than any generation before us in human history. And yet, somehow everything seems horribly and hopelessly screwed up - the planet is warming, governments are failing their constituents, economies are collapsing, and everyone is blathering about everything and not enough on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication that our ancestors could not have dreamed of, many of us find ourselves with a growing sense of hopelessness. In the book Everything is Screwed, Mark Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws and deficiencies within each individual to the unceasing disasters that are unleashed on us in the world around us. It explores the relationships we have with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically drown us and eat us alive. He openly challenges the accepted definitions of faith, happiness, freedom - and even hope itself. With his characteristic blend of theoretical proficiency and humor sharpened below the belt, Manson grabs us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves, and connected with the world in ways we probably hadn't considered before. Mark Manson takes us on another journey full of surprises through the pain in our hearts and the distress in our souls. One of the great modern authors has released another book that will dictate the agenda for years to come.
