Egypt's professional footballer Mohamed Salah reads a book, bringing it to the top trends in the world. The book was downloaded 600,000 times after Salah had posted a photo of himself on Twitter, reading the book.

The book, titled "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson, who tweeted in response to the footballer "Much love @MoSalah. Enjoy."

Manson's book talks about finding what is truly important in life and discarding everything else.

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.

The book may seem like another self-help program dressed up in gritty terms and scare tactics. But a closer look reveals that the lessons here are more about “wake-up” than they are about “self-help.” Layer after layer, the book peels away those ineffective “feel good” tactics and replaces them with a good dose of reality.

The author advises readers to get to know their limitations and accept them. He shows that once they embrace their fears, faults, and uncertainties and start confronting painful truths, they can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness they seek.
