The Subtle Art Of Not Giving a Fck

Summary part 4
Choose Happiness Every Day
Manson tells the story of a prince’s father who decides to spare him
all human suffering. One fine day, this prince discovers what his
father did and is horrified by the state of the world outside his
bubble.

The outside world is very different from what happens in your daily
life. This prince believed that he would achieve happiness if he lived
far from all the pleasures of the world. But that did not work.

This prince became known as the Buddha and his philosophy – that
pain and loss are an inherent part of human existence and should
not be avoided – has spread throughout the entire world and
continues to be practiced until today.

The main idea is this: you can choose happiness every day of your
life instead of imagining that one day you will be happy. So stop for a
moment and make a deliberate choice that you will be happy right
now.
