INTRODUCTION
Mark Manson describes a way for people to become enlightened by knowing what is important and making them your priorities, as well as resolving to not care about such trivial matters. Manson believes that there exists a psychological epidemic indicating that people concern themselves too much with life’s frivolities. According to him, these people have yet to accept the only certainties of life—failure, suffering, and ultimately, death. Manson further argues that to be able to achieve a meaningful life, one first has to let go of what’s out of control and hold oneself accountable for what is within control.
Mark Manson introduces us to a new perspective which places importance on suffering, pain, and life’s hardships. Manson also explains how fixating on only the positive aspects ultimately defeats its purpose. He also claims that living a life full of goodness and joy isn’t necessarily ridding it of challenges and difficulties. Rather, it is learning to enjoy dealing with these challenges. Make a conscious decision of caring for, fighting for, and suffering for only the things that truly matter, and only then would you be able to make the most of your life.

Romanticization aside, Bukowski succeeded in life not because of his unwavering determination and fiery passion to write despite the countless rejections; his efforts paid off because he was aware of his shortcomings, and he accepted the fact that like all humans, he was doomed to fail. Charles Bukowski was sincere about admitting his faults, and even in his works, he disclosed his flaws in all honesty.
Today’s culture sets unrealistic standards on just about every area of one’s life, and accepting your failures just as Bukowski had done is considered
