Summary

Why are most people struggling to get ahead? They’re struggling to get ahead in their career, their business, their relationships, and even in the battle they have every day with themselves. If you’re like most, you turn to the most popular books, courses, and communities that seem promising. You get pumped and feel like a freaking rockstar in the middle of it all, but the second you’re back alone with yourself nothing f*cking changes! That is what we call spiritual entertainment. The problem isn’t getting the information you need or access to better resources, the problem is that you’re not effectively implementing the ideas you hear because your behavior never changes. What do you do when self-help isn’t changing a damn thing in your life? Mark Manson, bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and the man that helped write Will Smith’s memoir, Will has gone from struggling blogger to thought leader in self-help. This episode is exactly what you need to stop being your own victim of self-help failures. Mark’s 3 universal principles will help you break the spiritual entertainment cycle, stop feeling bad about where you are and start embracing the kind of action and validation that will actually get results. QUOTES: “How do we leverage the social pressure of the internet in a positive way instead of the negative way?” “Responsibility is so important because it empowers you psychologically.” “Many people may own my past but only I own my future. I need to explicitly take responsibility in making sure it’s a good future.” “You don’t stop feeling bad. You feel bad, you find a way to respond well despite feeling bad.” Follow Mark Manson: Website: https://markmanson.net/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmMarkManson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Markmansonnet/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmanson/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Sponsors: Go to hostinger.com/impact and use code IMPACT to get 10% OFF your new website!

2:02.0	But I've kind of hit this point where you can only talk about anxiety so many times before you just start repeating yourself.
