A famous blogger shows us how to quit striving to be positive all the time so that we may actually become better, happier people in this generation-defining self-help book.

We've been persuaded for decades that the secret to a rich, happy life is to think positively. Let's be honest, living a better life is possible and we have to live with it. Rose doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate in his immensely famous blog on the Internet. She delivers a dose of unvarnished, energizing, and honest truth that is greatly needed in today's world. Her remedy for the indulgent, let's-all-feel-good mentality that has spoilt a generation and infected modern society is The Subtle Art of choosing your battles, which gives them gold medals for simply showing up.

Rose argues that improving our lives depends more on developing our ability to handle lemons than on being able to turn them into lemonade. Her arguments are supported by both scholarly research and well-timed poop jokes. Not everyone can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault. Humans are limited and flawed. Rose suggests that we recognize and embrace our limitations. We can start to find the courage, tenacity, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we desire once we accept our fears, flaws, and doubts; once we stop avoiding and fleeing and instead face hard realities.

Rose clarifies that we must determine which issues are truly important because there are only so many things we can care about. Although having money is good, it's better to care about your life's purpose because true wealth comes from experience. The Subtle Art of choosing your battles, a much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead happy, realistic lives. It is full of amusing stories and crude, brutal humor.
