Episode 3197:

Explore the crucial concept of "identity diversification" in Mark Manson's insightful narrative. Delve into how diversifying what we value - much like diversifying investments - can prevent a total collapse of self-esteem when life inevitably throws challenges our way. It's an enlightening read that promises to shift your perspective and enrich your understanding of personal identity.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/why-you-should-care-about-many-things

Quotes to ponder:

"Whether consciously or unconsciously, we all choose what’s important to us; we choose what we value."

"It’s also smart to diversify your identity, to invest your self-esteem and what you care about into a variety of different areas - business, social life, relationships, philanthropy, athletics - so that when one goes south, you’re not completely screwed over and emotionally wrecked."

"Identity diversification. It’s one of those ideas that’s so obvious yet so elusive."
