Episode 24
Luck, Solved
We waste enormous energy arguing whether success comes down to luck or skill, and it's the wrong fight entirely. Luck comes in three flavors, and two of them you can actually learn to create more of. In this episode, Drew and I break down which kind of luck you've got, which kind you don't, and how to make yourself luckier. And we’re joined by special guest, poker champion Annie Duke, to explain why a good outcome and a good decision are not the same thing. This is how you tilt the odds in your favor.
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.

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.
