Summary:
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter.

Conduct of life.
Self-realization.
