Mark Manson’s non-fiction works beyond his main series include his debut, Models: Attract Women Through Honesty (2011), which took an unusual approach to dating advice by focusing on vulnerability and self-improvement rather than pickup techniques. The book developed a following and helped establish Manson as a writer before his breakthrough with The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.
The Nerd’s Guide to Being Confident (2018) is a shorter work on social confidence, while Will (2021) is a memoir he co-wrote with actor Will Smith. The Smith memoir covers the actor’s life story and became a bestseller on its own, though it drew additional attention after events at the 2022 Academy Awards.
