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.

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.
