New York Times Bestseller
"Just because everything appears to be a mess doesn’t mean you have to be one. Mark Manson’s book is a call to arms for a better life and better world and could not be more needed right now." -- Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F\*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.
作者马克·曼森以独特的视角剖析了人类对“希望”的依赖与矛盾,指出希望既是生存的动力,也可能成为焦虑和逃避现实的根源。书中结合哲学、心理学和现实案例,揭示了现代人陷入“希望危机”的原因,如过度追求未来目标、忽视当下体验等,引发读者对自身生活状态的反思。
1. 除了理论分析,书中提供了具体的行动建议,如如何面对痛苦、培养反脆弱心态、建立真实的价值观等。作者强调“行动而非希望”是改变生活的关键,鼓励读者通过实际行动提升自我,而非依赖虚幻的未来承诺。
2. 书中融合了哲学、神经科学、历史等多个领域的知识,从尼采的“命运之爱”到康德的人类发展阶段理论,为读者提供了丰富的思想资源,帮助读者从更宏观的角度理解人类行为和心理,具有较高的学术价值和启发性。
We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f\*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
Now, in Everthing Is F\*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself.
What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F\*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f\*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

Frequently asked questions:
**Do I have to finish the book to attend**?
Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book.
**How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?**
The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar.
**Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?**
Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you.
**Is this group open to everyone?**
Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background. The event is designed to make it easy to meet and connect with fellow book lovers in our community.
**What if I'm shy about speaking in front of the group?**
No pressure! You're welcome to participate in the way that feels most comfortable for you. Whether you share your views or just listen, your presence is valued. A lot of people come alone - so don't be shy!!

New York Times Bestseller
"Just because everything appears to be a mess doesn’t mean you have to be one. Mark Manson’s book is a call to arms for a better life and better world and could not be more needed right now." -- Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F\*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.
作者马克·曼森以独特的视角剖析了人类对“希望”的依赖与矛盾,指出希望既是生存的动力,也可能成为焦虑和逃避现实的根源。书中结合哲学、心理学和现实案例,揭示了现代人陷入“希望危机”的原因,如过度追求未来目标、忽视当下体验等,引发读者对自身生活状态的反思。
1. 除了理论分析,书中提供了具体的行动建议,如如何面对痛苦、培养反脆弱心态、建立真实的价值观等。作者强调“行动而非希望”是改变生活的关键,鼓励读者通过实际行动提升自我,而非依赖虚幻的未来承诺。
2. 书中融合了哲学、神经科学、历史等多个领域的知识,从尼采的“命运之爱”到康德的人类发展阶段理论,为读者提供了丰富的思想资源,帮助读者从更宏观的角度理解人类行为和心理,具有较高的学术价值和启发性。
We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f\*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
Now, in Everthing Is F\*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself.
What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F\*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f\*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

Frequently asked questions:
**Do I have to finish the book to attend**?
Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book.
**How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?**
The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar.
**Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?**
Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you.
**Is this group open to everyone?**
Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background. The event is designed to make it easy to meet and connect with fellow book lovers in our community.
**What if I'm shy about speaking in front of the group?**
No pressure! You're welcome to participate in the way that feels most comfortable for you. Whether you share your views or just listen, your presence is valued. A lot of people come alone - so don't be shy!!

Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies
FREE meetup. Register HERE 🎟️- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp
**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix.
They’re wrong.
This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way).
### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook**
We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid.
### **What You’ll Learn**
Amanda will walk through:
**Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)**
* How to structure the deal correctly
* How expenses must be handled
* When UBIT may apply
**Wholesale within a retirement account**
* How assignments work
* What type of income it creates
**Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale**
* How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs
* How to structure notes properly
* How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account
### **The Core Idea**
There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts.
This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.**
### **Who This Event Is For**
* Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules
* Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources)
* People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds
### **Event Details**
**Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
**Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)*
**Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)*
**Food:** Free food included

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
