Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. Though Mark Manson mocks the genre's usual earnest "Go get 'em, tiger! Advice from a friend: you might not want to listen to this audiobook in the car until after you've dropped the kids off.
