My name is Jason Hart.
As the best defensive lineman in the country, I eat, sleep and breathe football. And I like it that way. I’ve only got a few more years before I’ll have to retire, so expending energy on anything other than football seems like a waste of time.

Despite its title, Mark Manson’s self-help guide is an upbeat read. In the same casually sweary tone he used in his megahit, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, the blogger and life coach channels both common sense and scientific research to argue that hopelessness is bad for us. Fueling not just personal anxiety and depression, our chronic lack of hope is also a major factor in the seething anger that plagues modern society. Manson challenges us to nurture hope by identifying the ideas, activities, and relationships that give our lives meaning. That’s an inspiring—and necessary—message, goddamnit.
