EPISODE 5
Shame, Solved
In this episode, we confront the taboo topic of shame—how it originates, why it dominates our emotional lives, and the hidden ways it drives behaviors like addiction, perfectionism, and self-sabotage. Drew and I break down the biology and psychology of shame while revealing how modern life, especially the internet, warps our internal shame systems. Through personal stories and blunt honesty, this episode offers a clear framework to understand and start facing the parts of yourself you've been avoiding.
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.
