Mark Manson is the three-time #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, as well as other titles. His books have sold around 20 million copies, been translated into more than 65 languages, and reached number one in more than a dozen countries. In 2023 a feature film #SubtleArtMovie about his life and ideas was released worldwide by Universal Pictures. This week we dive deep into what it means to lead a great life, exploring questions such as, how to focus on the things we care about and shut out the rest? How to create a sense of purpose? How to prevent suffering more than you need to? They delve into parenting, asking the question: should we tell our kids they are special? Mark opens up about the deep depression he faced after publishing his first book and his experience of burnout. They discuss his belief that it feels better to be racing for success, rather than being successful. He acknowledges that although life won’t be easy, we should focus on making it manageable. This episode examines what it means to live a meaningful life. Let us know what you think in the comments!
