SOLVED with Mark Manson
Mark MansonNew episodes every month. Life advice that doesn’t suck by a 3x #1 NYT bestselling author. I’ve spent two decades calling out everything wrong with the self-help world: the bad science, the guru nonsense, and the advice that preys on people's insecurities. This podcast is my no-BS, research-backed answer to all of it.

You’ve probably lied to someone today. You also probably think you lie less than everyone else. Welp, I have some bad news. We all manipulate, we all get played, and sometimes, the smarter you are, the easier you are to con.

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.

- 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 States3 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 States3 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About SOLVED
What is SOLVED about and what kind of topics does it cover?
Long-form conversations about psychology, relationships, purpose, happiness, decision-making and personal change, grounded in research and practical examples. Mark Manson and regular co-host Drew Burney examine one subject at a time, combining personal stories, historical and cultural references, and evidence-based frameworks. Some episodes feature a guest, while others are extended discussions or audience Q&As. The approach is skeptical of self-help trends and quick fixes: popular claims and techniques are weighed against the research, with attention to where the evidence is limited and what listeners can put into practice. Episodes can be lengthy and detailed, making this a strong fit for listeners who enjoy careful explanations and are w... more
