And is it any wonder The Fuck Depot is so popular? All photographs are unretouchedthe result of countless hours on the hunt for the almost perfect sign, in need of just the slightest improvement. This is not social commentary. There is no message. It's not meant to offend, exploit, or embarrass anyone. All real stickers. All real signs. All in fun.
#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked 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**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
@$#*%! Our most taboo word and how the law keeps it forbidden. This entertaining read is about the word "fuck", the law, and the taboo. Whether you shout it out in the street or whisper it in the bedroom, deliberately plan a protest, or spontaneously blurt it out, if you say "fuck," someone wants to silence you, either with a dirty look across the room or by making a rule that you cannot say the word. When it's the government trying to cleanse your language, though, you should worry. Words are ideas. If the government controls the words we use, it can control what we think. To protect this liberty, we must first understand why the law's treatment of "fuck" puts that freedom at risk. This book examines the law surrounding the word and reveals both inconsistencies in its treatment and tension with other identifiable legal rights that the law simply doesn't answer. The power of taboo provides the framework to understand these uncertainties. It also explains why attempts to curtail the use of "fuck" through law are doomed to fail. Fundamentally, it persists because it is taboo; not in spite of it.
There are no bad guys or good guys. There are only better guys and worse guys. One of the worse guys is Val Toreth. In a world in which torture is a legitimate part of the investigative process, he works for the Investigation and Interrogation Division, where his colleagues can be more dangerous than the criminals he investigates. One of the better guys is Keir Warrick. His small corporation, SimTech, is developing a "sim" system that places users in a fully immersive virtual reality. A minnow in a murky and dangerous pond, he is only beginning to discover how many compromises may be required for success. Their home is the dark future dystopia of New London. A totalitarian bureaucracy controls the European Administration, sharing political power with the corporations. The government uses violence and the many divisions of the feared Department of Internal Security to maintain control and crush resistance. The corporations fight among themselves, using lethal force under the euphemism of "corporate sabotage," uniting only to resist attempts by the Administration to extend its influence over them. Toreth and Warrick are more natural enemies than allies. But mutual attraction and the fight for survival can create unlikely bonds.
A brutal murder draws a detective into the unknown world, and it's all downhill from there as she struggles to come to grips with what was once thought to be the absurd and supernatural, all while trying to unravel the mystery of her own undeath. About a 4 hour read.

We are continuously flooded with messages in today's world telling us that we must be exceptional, successful, and self-improvers. Many people experience feelings of overload, inadequacy, and anxiety as a result of the carefully produced pictures of happiness, success, and perfection that dominate their social media feeds. But what if being extraordinary or flawless isn't the route to happiness? What if putting a greater focus on the things that actually matter and less focus on the things that don't matter leads to true fulfillment? In Summary of The Art of Not Giving a Fck*, the author presents a comprehensive guide based on Mark Manson's principles of how to stop caring about the things that weigh us down and instead focus on what’s important. This book condenses Manson's most important teachings, revelations, and revolutionary techniques into a digestible manner that is suitable for daily use. We all have a finite amount of things in life that we can truly care about, and that is the basic yet powerful principle at the heart of this summary. Stress, fatigue, and unhappiness result from trying to give a f*ck about everything, including happiness, success, and other people's opinions. Real happiness, on the other hand, results from letting go of things that don't fit with our beliefs, recognizing our limitations, and finding solutions to important challenges. Readers are introduced to the main obstacles we encounter in the author's summary, which range from the persistent quest of happiness to the pressure to be special. He then deconstructs Manson's unusual but doable remedies, which include accepting failure, establishing limits, and redefining success according to your own standards. This book seeks to provide you with the skills necessary to have a more purposeful and genuine life, not only to cheer you up. Summary of The Art of Not Giving an Fck* will provide you the confidence and clarity you need to negotiate the complexity of modern life, whether it's overcoming societal pressures, accepting disappointments, or accepting your own death. The author also discusses how accepting our mortality and realizing that everyone has an expiration date can actually free us to live more purposeful and fulfilling lives as the stakes mount. The book presents a significant shift in viewpoint, inspiring readers to take charge of their own stories, give priority to what really matters, and live fearlessly without constantly needing approval or fearing failure. This book will offer you the knowledge you need to quit caring about the things that don't serve you and start living a life that is actually aligned with your values by providing a clear and digestible summary of Manson's teachings. Will you keep giving a f*ck about things that don’t matter, or will you take charge and focus on what really does?
In 2012, the future of the once great Britain came under threat from an utter imbecile: the Prime Minister. Who would rise up from the masses to lead the people into prosperity once more? Who, amongst the many, could shake off the burden of tax after tax, two teenage daughters and an incontinent dog to fight for what is righteous and proper? Great Britain is fucked. There is only one hope. The Muthafucker is going to fuck shit up. A contemporary hero. A legend for tomorrow. One angry bitch. "You've been fucked...by the Muthafucker."
In the year that David Bowie died, Brexit shocked us, 'Hiddleswift' was a thing and Trump trumped, we are all asking ourselves was 2016 really the worst year ever? Find out in this special* commemorative book**. Inside this cathartic memento of the annus shitabulus that was 2016 you'll find a hilarious guide to everything that went wrong and the few - very few - things that actually went right. For example: - How was it that politics completely jumped the shark this year? - From Bowie to Prince, Ali to Cohen, we celebrate the many extraordinary artists who died rather than see Trump become President (Did Castro make it into the book? Close, but no cigar) - Compare 2016 with other terrible years in history - is it really the very worst? - Make sense of Manbuns, Pokemon Go, Hygge, Nigel Farage and other nonsense - With the aid of an electron microscope we hunt for something good that actually happened - Feel relieved about all the bad things that didn't occur - yet (there's always 2017, folks!) Featuring some really badly drawn illustrations, this comic compendium will soothe your troubled soul - before you throw it in the bin and prepare your mightily hungover self to face 2017. It has to be better, right? * i.e. hastily put together ** Warning: this book will spontaneously combust at midnight on December 31st 2016
