Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope Paperback – 7 Jan. 2021

Reading it for the 5th time now, first time on kindle and I'd forgotten just how powerful this book was. Truly epic look at humanity

Well.I liked this book. Lots. It's a rip roaring read. I woulda given it 5 stars if he didn't decide at one point to try to help me. Up till then I was all in. It was just a wonderful rant about the hopelessness of the human situation. About how you just got to grasp that hopelessness and live with it. But then darn if he didn't try to fix that. You know - like all the usual self-help books they just can't help but try to fix you. There is no fixing you. Once you truly get this - then you no longer need fixing. So. 4 stars not 5. But pretty darn good - yes pretty darn good.

Good book to read. The best was the quick delivery by awesome_books_001 (the seller). It arrives in less than 3 days, book is almost brand new. I totally recommned to buy books from this side.

I really enjoyed it right up to the last chapter where he goes off on a tangent into a utopian vision of how AI is going to save us.. wait..what ? He seems to forget who is building the AI in the first place as well as some of his own points on the limits of rationality and reason.. I would have given a higher rating honestly if this chapter had been left out but it contradicted many of his own points and weakened the argument of the book in my opinion. Peak End Rule says the weak ending will affect the overall perception of the event.. and in this case it definitely did.

Excellent book highly recommended very easy to read and engaging. Bought this as a used item and it was in fantastic condition highly recommended seller fast post and packaging fine

One day, a nameless online entity recommended buying this book. Here’s the thing, I’m impulsive and enjoy leaning into this emotion just so I can say “Well, you did recommend X and I bought the X and it was ….(my opinion)”It’s been a long while since I read a book about the psyche of the human brain. Wait, I’ve never read a book that had a smidgen of psychology contained in the pages. I refuse to count my Sociology O level grade A. This is proper easy to understand, it’s funny, a third of the book consists of study citations, research papers, the editors own thoughts and a whale sized portion of humour.This book is so funny, it cleverly wraps intrinsic brain theories with a pithy commentary. The writing style creates eye and brain hunger for just one .. more .. chapter.My tip to you is have 2 bookmarks, one for the last page you read, and the other for the references and source material in the back of the book.Always re-read the last couple of pages to refresh your memory before you pick up reading the next new page. Buy two copies. Start one yourself and then give one to a friend so you can share the mirth and the uncovered, unlocked knowledge about your trains of thought with someone *who understands* what direction your brain is heading.Are you having an off day and need a genuine smile? Grieving the loss of a friendship? Leaving a beloved team, or retiring from a job after a long career spanning decades? Feeling lost? Missing a lost item? Suffered a significant personal loss?I’m on page 78 and I’ll update this review when I’m done.Because I never cheat and read the last page. I like surprises a lot.Nina Payne, Fred’s wife.

This book presents a compelling exploration of world religions, delving into their fundamental beliefs, practices, and historical contexts. It offers insightful perspectives on how these diverse faiths shape cultural identities and influence global interactions. Additionally, the text examines the growing intersection of religion and artificial intelligence, prompting thought-provoking discussions about spirituality and technology in the modern world.

Mark has a way of putting things that is uniquely Mark, that’s not to say I agree with everything but the current world we live in with people getting upset over nothing, the ‘Karen’s’ screaming rages, Marks reason for why this is happening is totally spot on! I thought pretty much the same for a couple of years but Mark puts it far more eloquently.On AI, will not happen today but his vision of events may be closer to the truth than many realise in the long term.
