Like Lazarus before me, I question this. It's stock-standard knowledge for things like sudden fortune or fame. (The economic, psychology & even health outcomes stats for lottery winners 5 years after is really depressing.) However, it does _not_ apply to hard fought knowledge, expertise, wealth, or relationships. This is _particularly_ true in cases of struggling (eg economically). Working and becoming more successful in academics didn't make me "more" depressed. It _fixed_ my anxiety at initial bad marks and thus cut my depression off at the source. Likewise going from below the poverty line to a successful job doesn't make someone _more_ stressed about their finances. They may eventually develop new stressors due to an adjusted definition of success. However, it's nearly guaranteed that a way to fix many mental health disorders in the US would be better education and more opportunities for those of low SES. "More of myself" is only half the story.

​@@lazarussevy2777 dude, that's what he said. If the heat in hot water is amplified, it becomes vapour. He didn't say they'll be the same. He said they'll be an amplified version of themselves. That's why if someone gets rich and seems to have changed, then there was probably a part of that person you didn't know before that got amplified. Dunno if this makes sense.

One thing to remember: Money. A lot of the so-called "geniuses" we worship today were born into wealth, and to a degree, were able to fail upwards. Also, a lot of people in history who we know today, truly lived as mavericks and went against the flow, and were deeply insightful and/or talented. But they died "failures" because the rest of society weren't ready to embrace those ideas at the time.

I love your contrarian video, your humor, and your energy Mark! I went from feeling lost and depressed to enlightened and slightly better after watching this video.

"Success will only amplify who you already are." My biggest takeaway from this. I feel once I achieve an enormous amount of financial gains, then I could only be happy. Thank you for teaching me otherwise, Mark. I need to be OK and happy with where I am right now. And as I keep striving for my goals and things I'm curious about and be genuinely joyful, I hope success will amplify that.

I rarely find KZread videos that provide new and useful information these days but man oh man, you have no idea how badly I needed to hear this.

This video really felt like a deep cleanser for all those videos about execution and monk mode. It’s so refreshing to listen to this new type of advice. I would recommend working out, meditating and all of that for a dopamine detox and that’s it, not as the main focus of your success. I can’t believe how obvious this was and we didn’t even know. Like ofc! Only meditating and going for walks won’t make you the next Steve Jobs!

Mark Manson is a legendary contrarian explaining how correct and meaningful contrarianism brings success in a meaningful contrarian video. Thanks Mark!

I really appreciate your blunt, yet wise honesty about this subject and your willingness to share it in a high protein, no BS manner. The ability to divorce oneself from the toxic sway of public opinion is the first requisite condition of any meaningful achievement. Thanks for being you, my man!

everytime i watch your videos, or read your newsletters, i get reminded why you're my favorite author and how much i love the idea of being 'real' rather than being just 'optimistic'.

2:25 - 3:26 was something I always knew in the back of my head but you put it so nicely, clear and to the point. I loved that bit of the video. I have all 3 and I'm going for it. Thank you.

man I read your book and got a fresh perspective. Thanks for sharing ur ideas.

Retiring soon and 520k worth of my positions are depleted. I am still making my employers match but I don’t want to sell since I missed out on the big sell off and wouldn’t want to wait on the sidelines, just confused as to what to continue doing apart from keep putting money in but I begin to think about the sunk cost fallacy and maybe I should consult with a licensed professional with valid ideas.

Mark, this is imo probably your best video yet. Even as somebody with a background in philosophy and psychology who’s willing to dig into such material, I appreciate your ability to distill difficult ideas into something entertaining and more easily consumable for those that are less inclined to dig in. Importantly, your analysis and ability come to well-rounded conclusions that are of actual insight (unlike the vast majority of “information” found in any medium) is commendable. This particular video is certainly not among your most philosophically or psychologically dense, but I think you nailed it and I appreciated how you didn’t shy away from the question of whether or not it might actually be worth finding THAT level of success. It’s worth pondering, to be sure.

Mate- that was a solid video!!! You actually edit really well mark! I definately think it’s easy to be in the 99% but you’re right sometimes you have to be brave!

Awesome video and agree on most point. The only thing I would add, is that luck is also a key contributor. Luck in who raised you, mentors you had access to early in life, right place at the right time, etc.

honestly... among the thousands of thousands videos ive watched, this is my 2nd favourite. the first one being the egg. it gets straight to the point and quite literally fvcked with every single thing i believed in in a good way. and the best thing is that i didnt know he was the author of that book. i wanted to read it sooo much but i just couldnt get my hands on a physical copy

Lessons: 1. Be willing to do what most people are not: To get ahead of 99% of people, you need to be willing to do something that 99% of people are not willing to do. This means going against the norm and being a contrarian. 2. Have a contrarian idea: Most people go with the flow and agree with popular opinions. To achieve extreme success, you need to have a contrarian idea, something that challenges widely-held assumptions and beliefs. 3. Be correct about your idea: It's not enough to have a contrarian idea; you need to be correct about it. Most contrarian ideas will be wrong, so being right is a difficult but crucial aspect of achieving success. 4. Execute massively: Execution is important, but it is not the sole determinant of success. While it is necessary to put in the work, execution alone is not sufficient. It's the combination of having a correct contrarian idea and executing on it that leads to extreme success. 4. Question widely-held assumptions: Success often comes from questioning widely-accepted beliefs and exploring alternative opportunities that others might overlook. It requires adopting unpopular beliefs and sticking to them even in the face of criticism. 5. Focus on impactful decisions: Extreme success is not the result of numerous small actions or productivity hacks. It often boils down to a few key decisions or ideas that have a significant impact. Identifying and executing on these impactful decisions is crucial. 6. Downsides of extreme success: The downsides of achieving extreme success. Being a contrarian can lead to isolation and disapproval from others. It challenges the notion that extreme success brings validation and approval, as it often invites criticism and skepticism.

What a breath of fresh air to hear you speak this way. I see your book at the airport all the time but never thought to buy it. Maybe I will next time 🤷‍♂️. In reality though it isn’t hard to get ahead of most people. I don’t know about 99 percent but if you just do your job without complaining you’ll be ahead of most and get noticed, if you go the extra mile and do more than you’re asked to well then you’ll be ahead of close to 90 %. Napoleon Hill may have said that but it is true it’s unbelievable how little work most people want to. I worked for a small construction company out of high school cleaning up his yard. He was away and I just did what he asked me to, was a little nervous I wasn’t working fast enough. Turns out he tore a strip off all the older workers later for all the work I got done and offered me a full time job.

This is why I ask my clients what does the healthy, fulfilling life of your dreams look like? That vision isn't about comparing to others; it's about personal identity and desire
