Hi all. I'm looking for a book not about math or algorithms or anything like that.Tired from codeforces, tired from useless university and useless stupid life in general, and want to read something to get rid of this thoughts to do not commit suicide. Don't give a fuck about rating or upvotes/downvotes, just want to see what you can offer to me. If you have something in mind like "_Surely you're joking, mr. Feynman_" please write down in the comments.

Since you decided not to give a fuck, I'd recommend The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.
