Kindling.
You are supposed to not give a damn about it
I see thousands of books about "not caring" in every topseller list I come across.
How can so many writers crap out so many books essentially about one sentence of advice?
I read it. It's decent, but not necessary. The real reason I read it, however, was due to the fact that the author had previously written the greatest book (by a fairly large margin) on getting women. Yea, you will have to put Schopenhauer or Weininger aside here for a minute, if you want actual success.
I know, this is Veeky Forums so it will get dismissed as normie airport-litterature, but then again, I have seen a rise in FA-threads here recently. You can't have it both ways. The ideal is not just to become lit, but also fit and socially capable.
I'd venture to guess it's because not caring about things is extremely difficult for the average person in the current day and age. People have this warped idea that they'll come off as rude or ignorant if they ignore their friends' posts on social media while constantly perusing it, so they feel the need to respond to messages, like posts, retweet things, etc., whether they're genuinely interested or not. I almost believe that we've reached a point where people have actually forgotten how to not care about other peoples' lives.
>people have this warped idea that they'll come off as rude
How is it warped? You do come off as rude, you know.
That seems contradictory to this current state of self-absorption. Most people are constantly busy bragging, sites like Facebook and Instagram encourage that narcissism heavily.
Maybe people are in fact so obsessed with their presentation that they wish they could care just a little less.
But even so, don't one or two books fill the market? There's so damn many books based on such a simple concept.
It's "reddit writes a self-help book: the book"
