Mark Manson is the guy who took the self-help manual, tore it up, threw it in the bin and wrote a new one - full of swear words and inconvenient truths. Born in 1984 in the USA, he started out as a blogger talking about life, relationships and success without all that sugary ‘believe in yourself’ talk.

​

In 2016, he released ‘The Subtle Art of Switching the F*ck On’, which basically teaches that happiness comes when you choose wisely what's really worth caring about. The book became a worldwide phenomenon, making even self-help haters pause for thought. Since then, he has continued to write, provoke and remind everyone that, at the end of the day, the secret of life is to accept that not everything has to be amazing - and that's okay.
