About this episode

Mark Manson is a bestselling author best known for his book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k, selling over 10 million copies worldwide. This episode dives 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. 


The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck has been turned into a cinematic piece and is available on demand now. #SubtleArtMovie
