Hey there everybody. I'm Mark Manson, the number one New York Times best-selling

author of the subtle art of not giving a fuck. Over the past 15 years I have

been writing life advice for millions of people around the world.

My books have sold over 20 million copies and been translated in the 75 languages

and I run one of the biggest personal development websites with over 15 million global

readers each year. So what is this podcast about? Well, instead of trying to

list everything that we might talk about, let me go through and say what we definitely won't ever be talking about.

You will never hear bullshit pseudoscience, get-rich-quick schemes, or anything that is not practical or scientifically validated.

I will absolutely spare you all morning routines,

fad diets, and whatever manifesting technique is considered cool on Tik-talk.

And I will never sit here and tell you how great testing technique is considered cool on Tik-Tock.

And I will never sit here and tell you how great you are,

how perfect everything is, how amazing your life's going to be,

because let's be honest.

We're all fucked up little snowflakes deep down inside.

No, no, my friends.

Instead, we are going to dive deep into the uncomfortable questions

that if you are actually brave enough to ask them,

could change your life. My goal here is to snap you out of whatever

rut you might be in in the moment to face cold hard truce about life and hopefully laugh

a little bit along the way. You'll come out the other side a little wiser, a

little happier, and a slightly better version of yourself. Now subscribe to the subtle art
