Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
Mark Manson graduated from college and entered the workforce at one of the worst possible times: the Great Recession of 2008. After bouncing around several odd jobs and living on his friend’s couch, he became a full-time blogger and bestselling author. In today’s episode, Mark discusses the downfalls of hope and why we’ll never be satisfied unless we face Mark’s uncomfortable truth of life head-on.
Mark’s most recent book, Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope, debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. Mark is most known for writing The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life, which came out in 2016 and has become a massive global bestseller with over 8 million copies sold worldwide.
In this episode, Hala and Mark will discuss:
- How Mark became a blogger and an author
- Why Mark recommends that people start a podcast or YouTube channel over blogging
- Why we manufacture crises
- The opposite of happiness is hopelessness
- The uncomfortable truth of life
- Thinking brain vs. feeling brain
- The problem with avoiding pain
- Using pain to strengthen relationships
- How an adult mind differs from a child or adolescent mind
- Fake freedom vs. real freedom
- And other topics…
