My 3 take aways from the subtle art of not giving a fuck's first part:

• The quality of your problems dictate the quality of your life.

• Choosing what to give a fuck about dictates the quality of your problems.

• What you give a fuck is the metric that matters the most in your life.

BONUS - @MarkManson don't give a fuck means he gives a fuck about the right things.

Let me deep dive in:

1) How do people turn embittered and entitled?

They give a fuck about everything.

Everything annoys them, from dirty streets to rude baristas. Everything that's out of their control, they try to control. That's the perfect recipe for complaining and doing nothing about it.

They give a fuck about the wrong things.

2) How do you know what to give a fuck about?

What do a rude barista and expensive cars have in common? You can't control neither of them. No good. Giving a fuck about things you can't control is the quickest way to misery.

Choose things in your control and you'll find strength and quality problems.

3) Why do you want to find better problems?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The more you learn about yourself and give a fuck about the right thing, the more focused on problems about your own life. Like a quest, the bigger problems in your life bring the more rewards, making you happier.
