For the past few years, Mark Manson-via his wildly popular blog-has been working on correcting our delusional expectations for ourselves and for the world. He now brings his hard-fought wisdom to this groundbreaking book. Manson makes the argument that human beings are flawed and limited. As he writes, "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-this, he says, is the real source of empowerment, Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties--once we stop running from and avoiding, and start confronting, painful truths-We can begin to find the courage and confidence we desperately seek.
