Recommendation

Blogger and master of personal development advice “that doesn’t suck,” Mark Manson, explains why you shouldn’t care what others think or hide from adversity.

For those who can get past his linguistic choices, he offers genuine insights into the habits that cause people to care too much about the wrong things. His playful style encourages self-reflection without angst. getAbstract recommends Manson’s perspective to readers with an interest in personal growth and a sense of humor.

    #30DaysOfSummaries This is awesome idea which I cannot agree more! Aiming high and let the small annoyances go away is the right way to live a wise life.
