Once you realize that what you want and think and feel counts too, sometimes you’re going to do what you want, and other times you’re going to do what your family or friends want because that’s what keeps the harmony, or that’s what being a good friend is all about, then you’ll automatically feel less burdened and less pissed off by all the stuff that you feel like you’re being forced to do. There’s no guarantee they will listen, but you can be very sure that you’ve done your part to exit.

I don’t give a flying f*ck, bucko

Having read the sentence many times, it looks to me like a deliberate attempt at word-play on the usual formulation rather than either a standard formulation or a botched attempt. Just like with a Gladwell book, I think one should read this book carefully, especially if the reader is new to self-help/ philosophy genres. If you're already familiar with some good/ logical philosophy books, chances are, you'll take everything in this with a grain of salt, and only extract what's helpful. However, when a non-fiction book gets this much popularity, this could even become the very first self-help book one reads. And that's a dangerous thing, to start along with a system that accepts 'expecting the negative to happen to be a positive thing'. As the experiences/ examples presented are clear, and very easy to relate to, it's easy to get completely lost in a philosophy like this. I still decided to share some (obvious) wisdom quotes, but I hope you won't be tempted to read this one because of them. On the contrary, I'm only reviewing this one to warn any future readers, especially if you're new to self-help or non-fiction books. But something about those two magic words make someone feel heard even when you’re a million miles away. John Florio's 1598 Italian–English dictionary, A Worlde of Wordes, included the term, along with several now-archaic, but then-vulgar synonyms, in this definition:

But, in context, it seems to be used to mean "I don't care at all", so, either two is acting as an intensifier, or two doesn't alter the meaning at all. If it is supposed to be an intensifier, it seems like an error (consider, for example, "Not giving two red cents.")

The rest - books you don’t read anymore, kitchen utensils you’ll never use, gifts you never wanted in the first place - should be removed unceremoniously from your life.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize that half of them are even stupider than that”– George Carlin Dunbar, William (2003). Selected poems (1sted.). New York: Routledge. p.45. ISBN 0415969433 . Retrieved February 8, 2021.

What if you don’t give a fuck about anything?

Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of another. 📒 Summary + Notes These lines are best delivered with a hint of indifference but also while physically walking or moving away to let the other individual or individuals know you’re serious.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.” – Steve Jobs Sarah Knight: Yeah. I find that guilt is often used as a motivator and that’s not how I like to live my life. It’s certainly not how my husband and I interact as a couple. He doesn’t make me do things I don’t want to do, and I don’t make him do things he doesn’t want to do. It doesn’t surprise me that that’s what other people’s friends, family, partners, bosses, coworkers do to them. It’s certainly been done to me by other people. See: it’s a never-ending upward spiral. And if you think at any point you’re allowed to stop climbing, I’m afraid you’re missing the point. Because the joy is in the climb itself.” The consequences of not finding your purpose in life include a general sense of frustration, listlessness, dissatisfaction and a sense of not being connected with your inner self. If suffering is inevitable, if our problems in life are unavoidable, then the question we should be asking is not “How do I stop suffering?” but “Why am I suffering—for what purpose?”I felt the same way until I took part in Life Journal. Created by teacher and life coach Jeanette Brown, this was the ultimate wake-up call I needed to stop dreaming and start taking action. There’s a famous Michael Jordan quote about him failing over and over and over again, and that’s why he succeeded. Well, I’m always wrong about everything, over and over and over again, and that’s why my life improves. Growth is an endlessly iterative process. When we learn something new, we don’t go from “wrong” to “right.” Rather, we go from wrong to slightly less wrong. proportional to, not the inverse of. I reversed the way I had intended to express the idea and didn't complete the edit. Living authentically and honestly and unapologetically by being true to yourself. Being honest, but also being direct. Be polite and respectful, but also realize that you’re not responsible for how other people feel. You don’t necessarily have to do things to trigger and provoke them, but you’re also not responsible if they take offense over nothing.” She’s not interested in telling you how to live your life and she doesn’t tell you what you have to care about in your life.
