Episode 21
Why We Stay in Bad Relationships, Solved
Why do smart, emotionally aware people stay in relationships that are clearly destroying them? Drew and I dig into one of the most public train wrecks in modern Hollywood, to walk through the seven psychological mechanisms that quietly lock people inside bad relationships and make leaving feel impossible.
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.
The Solved Guides
Each Solved episode has a handy digital reference guide, which you’ll get for free when you join our mailing list. I’ll email them over with each new episode, along with updates and special offers just for Solved listeners.
