What made it so “cringe”?

imagine reading a book to teach you not to give a fukk. contradicts the whole premise

if you don’t want to care, realize the size of the universe and all the matter that inhabits it. life for most people is 60-70 years, which isn’t as long as it seems. age 50+ you are limited in terms of what you can accomplish so most on here have only 20-30 good years left. you work 40-60 hours a week and might have school, work, kids, etc. not much time

life isn’t long and your life is unimportant. that’s all you need to understand to lose your inhibition

Try: No more mr.nice guy

It gives scenarios on how to act and basically do everything in that book. Be a man, take what you want etc.

Well you need to read the book first, because that is exactly what the book talks about.

Basically that it’s in human nature to give a fuk. And the people that act like they don’t give a fuk are the ones that usually do. You just learn to give a fuk about what really matters, and learn to accept yourself.

I could only read so much on the power of now. Half way through the book I basically felt like the past never mattered.

I tried to read it and it came off as uneducated blabbering with the word phuck and chit every sentence.

I prefer intellectual dialogues like Jordan P

Not giving a fuk is really important for overall wellbeing in life. Just gotta take things in stride, like the chad honkler.

if you didn’t give a fukk you’d descend into de realization. the human ego is what motivates people to do absolutely anything. most people who truly don’t give a fukk about anything are in prison or commit suicide. so it’s not possible unless you wanna be a bum.

that book is pure cope

Well obviously you haven’t read the book, because it says pretty much exactly what you are saying. And it’s not advocating being a bum at all.
