CAUGHT BY THE SUBTLE ART

A moment is all it took for me to grab this one!

I was on Amazon to buy something, and there was this amazing title: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. I guess the reluctance towards a book with that kind of a title is way lower than something similar to "How to be Happy" or "How to be Successful".

Within twenty four hours, I was caught by the book. Glued to it is not the right word (I had my office and other things, too). I couldn't help but commit myself.

But, to my own surprise, I kept aside everything that would've been important to me and took to it like a decision of "life/death". It was that meaningful and down-to-earth.

Don't get the title wrong. It doesn't mean "be indifferent, don't give a shit"; instead, it bluntly tells you what your head must have known all along, and still not accepted.

You might not know what great wealth lies in you; you may not know how insignificant you are.

You may not be aware of the millions of opportunities; you might even try to grab them all.

You might be wandering and restless; indifferent and careless.

You might take your lack of freedom as a chain; you might want the absolute.

Let me be clear: this book gives you nothing, if not real freedom.

Disclaimer: A book is up to the reader to choose, and words may mean everything or nothing. It is not up to me (or Mark Manson) to do that for you.

PS: There was a new post on #Instagram with #AliaBhatt posing with someone. And in her hand was this same, glaring-orange book!
