Mark MansonNew episodes every month. Life advice that doesn’t suck by a 3x #1 NYT bestselling author.

Fail fast. Fail forward. Fail better. As a society, we’ve turned failure into a slogan to celebrate, but somehow we’re more afraid of it than ever.
So what's going on? Most of us say failure is our best teacher, but I doubt many of you have ever wal... more
You've been told your whole life to explore, keep your options open, try new things. And you've done exactly that. Moved cities, pivoted careers, taken every personality quiz. But here's what nobody warns you about: all that freedom might be the thin... more
Ask most successful people how they got where they are, and the answer is usually some version of "good timing." Everyone else swears they earned it. We're terrible at seeing our own luck clearly, and even worse at realizing how much of it we could c... more

- Good podcast but I have a challenge for the hosts
I love the Solved podcast and listen to every episode. But Mark and Drew: I have a challenge for you. That is to stop saying “right?“ after every other sentence. This common verbal tic is starting to distract me when I listen to your episodes. Please fix this because I love it otherwise!

I love logic and reason. I love Mark and how committed he is to these things. Solved just seems like the best use of my time. No BS. No random guests trying to sell their own books or podcasts. Very thoughtful. I listen to every episode, and have found myself going to back to old episodes. This feel like the peak use of the podcast platform.
Apple Podcasts5patmos_hUnited States2 months ago - The real self help industry
I first heard of Mark through his success in the world of books, although I initially thought his works were just another set of superficial bestsellers with catchy titles. However, diving into this podcast has been an incredible experience. It reveals how deeply complex topics are truly explored, going beyond any superficial treatment. This is the only podcast I’ve found that takes the necessary time—no matter how long it takes, even if you have to listen in segments during long drives, which I... more

Disappointing that you had a known scam artist like Annie Duke on the show who is now known as a pariah in the poker community, but I acknowledge she had valid points and I’m still a Mark Manson for life
Apple Podcasts3CeltsharkUnited States2 months ago - New Favorite Podcast, Solved
I just recently discovered Mark’s work, and I can’t get enough of it. It seems to confirm a lot of what I’ve known deep down but could never articulate to myself in an effective way.
I’ve got quite a few quotes from him peppered on sticky notes around my office already.
