Summary:
"Realizing your life is pointless is not the motivational advice you might expect--but it could be the advice that sets you free. 'Sweet nothing' offers an unorthodox and radically liberating approach to create real peace in your life. A few years ago,
Wendy
Syfret
had a 'cool' job with a nice partner and a stylish apartment--all the trappings of a 'meaningful life' and 'doing it right'--and Instagram-envy-inducing, too. She was also living in a constant state of anxiety, waking nightly at 3am to answer emails for what was in reality an entry level media job. One day she nearly collapsed on the sidewalk from a wave of panic over the inescapable pressure cooker that was her never-ending pursuit of achievement. The realization that none of it matters and one day she'll be dead floated into her mind. Suddenly she could breath again, for what felt like the first time in a long time. She had found sunny nihilism. Sweet Nothing shows how accepting that your life has no meaning in the grand scheme of the universe is actually incredibly freeing. In fact, it is already a prevalent belief in our culture, particularly among millennials and Gen Zs. Readers will gain an accessible entry into sunny nihilism, an understanding of nihilism's history and pitfalls, and learn to focus on the freedom to celebrate the immediate, appreciate the beautiful chaos of life, and invest energy into things that will make the world a better place--because literally nothing else matters. In an era defined by collective burning out over exceptionalism, economic downturns, performative excellence, housing crises, plans waylaid by pandemics and a perfect Instagram aesthetic, a little nothingness really is sweet."--Publisher.
