not all stress is bad. There are two separate types of stress
Distress refers to harmful stimuli that make u weaker, less confident, and less able.ex:Destructive criticism, abusive bosses 
Eustress, on the other hand, is a stress that is healthful and the stimulus for growth.Eu-, a Greek prefix for "healthy," is used in the same sense in the word "euphoria." Ex:Role models who push us to exceed ur limits, risks that expand our sphere of comfortable action. there is no progress without eustress. the more eustress we can create or apply to our lives, the sooner we can actualize our dreams.

Distress Is Bad, Eustress Is Good

What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer: “I race motorcycles in Europe.” “I ski in the Andes.” “I scuba dive in Panama.” “I dance tango in Buenos Aires.” He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the “deferred-life plan” and instead mastered the new currencies—time and mobility—to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now.

Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you: • How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want • How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs • How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist • How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and freuent "mini-retirements" • What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income • How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair • What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks • How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet • What the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are • How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50–80% off • How to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office You can have it all—really. From the Hardcover edition.

The 4-Hour Work Week

"what do you want out of life?""I want to be happy and have a great family and a job I like"This response is so common and expected that it doesn't really mean anything. A more interesting question that most people never consider is,"What pain do you want in your life?What are you willing to struggle for?"Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.

Choose Your Struggle

Happiness requires struggle. Joy doesn't just sprout out like daisies and rainbows. Real, serious, lifelong fulfillmet and meaning have to be earned through the choosing and managing of our struggles What determines success is not "what do you want to enjoy?" The relevant question is, "what pain do you want to sustain?"

The path to happiness is path full of shit- heaps and shame.You can't have a pain free life. You have to choose.It won't work if you imagine the summit but you don't want to climb; If you want the reward but not the struggle ; if you want the the result but not the process; if you love not the fight but only victory.Who you are is defined by what you are willing to struggle for because OUR STRUGGLES define OUR SUCC

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. 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. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

It occurs when people do what they are told to do, or what others do, rather than what they want to do. According to logotherapy, discovering one's purpose in life helps an individual fill that existential void.

Existential Crisis

It arises when our life is without purpose or when the purpose is skewed. There is no need to see this frustration as an anomaly or symptom of neurosis. Instead it can be a positive thing- a catalyst for change

Existential Frustration

We do not CREATE the meaning of life- we DISCOVER it.

In the west, we tend to believe that 'what we think' influences 'how we feel', which in turn influences 'how we act'.In contrast, Morita therapy focuses on teaching patients to 'accept their emotions' without trying to control them, since 'their feelings will change as a result of their actions'. It also seeks to 'create new emotions' on the basis of 'actions'. These emotions are learned through experience and repetition.

Morita Therapy

Morita therapy is not meant to eliminate symptoms. It teaches us to accept our desires, anxieties, fears and worries and let them go.A donkey that is tied to a post by a rope will keep walking around the post in an attempt to free itself, only to become more immobilized and attached to the post. The same thing applies to people with obsessive thinking who become more trapped in their own suffering when they try to escape from their fears and discomfort.If we have obsessive thoughts, we should not try to control them or get rid of them. If we do, they become more intense. Just welcome them.

Accept Your Feelings

We can't control our emotions but we can take charge of our actions every day. this is why we should have a clear sense of our purpose. Ask yourself " what do I need to be doing right now? What action should I be taking?"
