Can you elaborate on the book's framework of finding what is truly important in life?

The book's framework revolves around the idea of focusing on what's truly important in life and discarding the rest. It emphasizes the acceptance of being average and not obsessing over being special. It suggests that most people's lives will be unremarkable, not on one end of the special spectrum, but somewhere in the middle. This realization opens up opportunities to appreciate the simple rewards of daily life. The book encourages readers to say "f*ck it" to things that don't matter, thus helping them to focus on what's truly important.
