The podcast that doesn't give a f*ck. Bestselling author Mark Manson discusses some of life's counterintuitive insights, interviews some of the world's smartest people, and manages to laugh his ass of while doing it.
Mark - so awesome you brought him on to share his story. Just goes to show that it's never too late to change and improve yourself, amazing stuff. Much love and keep up all the good work <3
Hearing about Bam Margara here. It's interesting now that Novac is sober and living a great inspirational life. Whereas Bam in the last few years. I have been hearing sad things about due to this addiction disease
Reference was made to a book, "The Art of Taking Action". There are several books with this title, all seeming to cover the topic of taking a Zen approach to action and time. The authors of the respective books that I have found are Krech, Bungay and Pham. Please advise as to which one it was that was mentioned in the podcast. Thank you.
Great episode, Mark. I've Oliver's book playing on a loop in audible. Apparently I need frequent reminders that my lifetime here is limited, so get just tf on with it.
The timing on this one was good for me. I have lost many years of my life sleeping due to various illnesses and injuries, I've had to figure out which dreams and goals to prioritise, although even those aren't certain to be possible.
Wow. This is my favorite episode yet. Last year I learned from Marc that I am Happiness. Now I've learned I am Time. Enlightening stuff. If you're taking requests, I've been grieving like a motherfucker after the past five years... Author David Kessler would make a great guest. His books and podcasts on grieving have helped me a lot.

Yes, it's okay to quit and even to not quit. Only you know what is the right thing to do about your life at a given moment in time. You don't need anyone's approval to do that, not even Mark Manson's.
I appreciate the clips as they are better to digest for me. Ur content is so full of wisdom and big learnings, plus very fast talking (im no native speaker) that im overwhelmed because I want to absorb all the learnings that I can take from ur content. Absolutely amazing since u started ur channel I cancelled so much other channels bevause my time is limited and I prioritize ur content absolutely on top. This clip especially helped me appreciate my longtime relationship with the most amazing wife more and more. Thanks for ur work mark! Please never stop ❤
Mark and Drew, you both offended me when you said that you are both old in this video! But I still subscribed. :) I am a few years older than you both by age, but I am stunned by your emotional maturity. You both gave me lots of hope for Millennials and Gen Zs. I keep telling my friends to listen to this podcast - These videos are way better than a lot of therapy and psychology teachings. Note that I am nerdy, I read a lot of nonfiction and research work, and I am a researcher and training professionals by profession. Still, you both helped me be even more blunt, and just enjoy learnings from failures instead of beating myself up for making mistakes here and there.
The idea that you can’t measure productivity of knowledge work is nonsense. That’s just a sign that you aren’t planning. As soon as you break down your project into milestones with dependencies and represent them as a diagram, progress and productivity becomes evident. The problem is none of the commercially available tools help you do this. The fact that tools to do the right thing don’t exist isn’t evidence that the right thing can’t be done. Cal’s entire thesis is about this topic is a copout.
I was thinking more about this today & this is the second time I've heard the closing the relationship chasing tab in your brain mentioned. I've got that same tab opened. There's no closure in life until you have that partner to go through life with, no matter how much I try to focus on other areas of life, it just appears to be a very important aspect of life that needs closure & until it gets closure, it takes attention away from things that are important. Everything suffers, including being a good mum because in the back of my mind & my kids keep asking, for a 'Dad'. They want a Dad & it's such a paralysing space to be in, because I want to give my kids a Dad & I want somebody I can be close to, love & support & receive the same in kind, but it's really hard. I do think at least this year I have learned that on top of conscientious & Integrity in a partner, proper communication & non conflict avoidant is now non-negotiable in a partner. I really like direct but private communication & somebody who will be straightforward about their needs, wants & expectations & be receptive to my own...
Could you either move clips to a different channel or clearly label them as clips in the thumbnail? Love the podcast, but I watch the full episodes and it’s really confusing to have to sort through what is what.
