Then, Mark Manson, the author of the best-selling book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck (http://amzn.to/2g5bofO) explains how letting go of the need to be the best at everything – or even most things - can be very liberating and even beneficial. The fact is most of us are mediocre at most things we do and maybe that is okay. Then, you already know that your mood affects how you walk.
