EPISODE 10
Purpose, Solved
If you’ve ever felt stuck, aimless, or like something important is missing in your life—this episode is for you. I take a deep dive into the psychology and philosophy of purpose, breaking down what it really means, why you suffer without it, and how to cultivate it in your life—no fluff, just raw and practical insight. We also explore the dark side of purpose—how it can become toxic, lead to burnout, or sabotage your life under the guise of ambition. I even share my own experience launching a second company this year—what it cost me, and why I did it anyway.
A Self-Help Podcast
for Smart People
Relentlessly researched.
Thoughtfully delivered.
Occasionally funny.
Hey, I’m Mark Manson—NYT bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck (and a few other books you might’ve heard of). I’ve written and coached on everything from dating to productivity over the years, but I’m best known for doing things a little differently when it comes to life advice. Call me old fashioned, but I think when you invest your time in listening or consuming something, you should get a meaningful result. So, if you’re the type of person who likes real insights, backed by actual research, that will make a measurable difference in your life, I made this podcast for you.
The goal of each Solved episode is to be so comprehensive that it’s not only the last podcast episode you’ll ever need on that topic, but also the last we’ll ever make.
No ads. No filler. No long-winded tangents about someone’s morning routine.
Just obsessively-researched, practical, & useful answers to your biggest life questions.
