Talking about comparison, compare yourself to yourself. If you are improving in reference to yourself in the past, you're okay

You're doing better than okay! You're doing great! As long as you're better than you from a couple of months/years ago, then you're progressing as a human and growing. Stagnation is the enemy! Trajectory is way more important than current position.

i've actually made a video about this a while ago, about how comparing ourselves to ourselves is just so much healthier and more productive than comparing ourselves to other people. Of course, it's unavoidable that we compare ourselves to others from time to time, but shifting the focus on ourselves and how we are changing with time and improving and seeing the difference from past to present and realizing that in the future we will and can change for the better as well can be so powerful and give us a lot of motivation to push harder in life and feeling proud of ourselves!

Your manifestation explanation is the truest way to explain it's happening that I've heard in a long time. I've known this for years, but all I've heard lately is the "woo-woo" version of it all. Good job, Mark! Real stuff.

The manifestation "mind set" also makes taking action easier, which inturn increases probably. There is no magic to it. Scamers just scamming people.

What the f*ck?: A book about curiosity. Your past comments on curiosity really stuck with me. That should be the subject of your next book.

Specifically "enthusiastic curiosity" you can go into how this builds charisma. You can go into how the best talk show hosts engage their guests. How people learn best when what they are learning comes from this. People with ADHD can literally be stuck going down a rabbit hole for 3 days and "forget" to do everything else but force them to study something they aren't interested in and they can't give their attention for 5 mins.

I was thought of as a video game addict by many acquaintances, because that's what we talked about. And I did play alot. But after I got kids, the gaming got naturally reduced, my stress grew. Other stuff came up, playing reduced, stress grew. My gaming went to near zero for two years and I experienced a slight meltdown. I was angry as f*ck, quick on the temper and a lousy husband. No physical or hard mental violence, but always on my last nerve. Got help, got in to psychotherapy and one of the first things I was told was to get back into gaming. Two-ish years later and I'm back. Even my kid said it's great to get her daddy back. I play on about 3-4 days a month, somewhere around six hours on one go. And there I burn all my aggression away, get away from stressful thinking and just let everything go (OK, I admit that Sigrun fight from God of War - on the hardest difficulty, haunts me occasionally outside of my play-time).

Haha Sigrun has to be the best boss battle ever created in a video game! Interesting anecdote by the way 😊

AI be damned here's my notes from this QA. Traditional Media is a dying medium and overrated - bullish on content creators Thoughts on Manifestation: We tend to notice the things that we think about Leveraging cognitive biases in your favor Promotes a narcissistic tendency Which failure is gonna benefit me the most? Luck is always happening around you, but you aren’t always acting on it. Luck is when your perception (or things you are primed to notice) line up with your values. Luck is a skill that you can increase through activity “Miracles happen around people” Morning routines are overrated - Mark morning are random like the universe - the only important thing is to wake up and have something you’re excited to work on. Night time routines are the shit. Healthy shame - evolutionary utility (deters us from harming others) shame is unhealthy when its attached to things that aren’t necessarily bad (pokemon, goofy laugh, overuse of South Park) -Exercise and alcohol - you have to try and find a way to enjoy it or it went work. Explore what works for you. Progressive cutback over 18 months - the less you drink the less you want to drink. Positive Feedback loop. Quit for a month. Went back 3 months. Went back etc… -Envy all things (David Goggins going through seal training, bill gates working 30 years) look at the whole picture and see if you still have envy. You dont envy something unless you also envy the sacrifice and cost Don’t fight insecurities, embrace, own, befriend Blog/VS KZread - you need a team to do KZread / turnaround is much longer - blog is lower stakes What needs to be said and nobody else is saying it? IS social media neccarsily bad? Social bad for young people, girls, and people prone to anxiety and depression, mentally healthy people its fine - its how its being used - phones out of schools and not let kids on before 16 Value of the goal is the direction it gives you - goals should serve you not the other way around Is there an extreme side to everything? Everything becomes toxic when taken to an extreme Obsession with optimization wont work if you dont care about that thing Bad life advice Optimize for freedom - commitments make life meaningful - giving something up gives something else meaning - we need to be weighted down by things Humble while ambitious - be ambitious about things you know are hard and difficult Stay off social media? There’s a tradeoff, pick the thing that sucks the least Stop comparing yourself others? You cant. Compare yourself to good people and for good reasons Getting over an EX - If you can talk without getting worked up, dont talk Better yourself Explore hobbies Reconnect with old friends and family Dont date till your excited Be careful when you define unfair and unjust

29:05 Mark struggling with the past participle form of "dive" there is perhaps the most reassuring thing for an ESL student like me who is constantly struggling with verb conjugation

Working on it!

I have gone through hell these past 2 years. I've made many mistakes and lost what feels like everything. But I'm trying my best to see the light and lessons in all of this. It's a horrible feeling to feel like you're lost in your 30s. However, your book, The Subtle Art, has been some of the most eye-opening and best advice I've come across. So thank you so much for that, Mark.

Manus is the latin word for hand. You see it in manifesting and manicure for example. Manifesting just means making the invisible visible and create the thing you want with your own hands.

These are my favorite type of video Mark makes because you can tell he’s authentic and talking off the dome

“If you don’t let your insecurities stop you, then what can stop you?” The pause you had after realizing; ya, I just said that lol 😂 love this 23:49

I did your evening routine, got a good nights sleep and like you said I woke up excited to do what I needed to do. Thanks Mark.

This is a great episode and a lot of great questions. Only very successful people like you Mark, can actually hire a team. The reality is the majority of content creators do everything by themselves and this is, sometimes, the only way to grow.

Absolutely loved listening to this, lots of valuable lessons, thank you Mark! And thanks for the chapter points!

Absolutely loved listening to all that said here! 💙 Please never stop postingg!😊

This is great! Thank you for making this podcast.

Excellent video as always mark

Thank you for making this podcast

I watched 1 of your videos like a few minutes ago and now I’m subscribed cause holy shit your content is great have a nice day I’ll be watching a ton of your videos now thank you

I watched the whole video, and it was great! I usually struggle to watch such long videos but there was so much good stuff here. I only wish each question had its own chapter in the timeline so that I could easily find questions to re-watch in the future, but that's just a tiny nitpick. Excellent video as always!

Congrats Mark, you have great content and very interesting chats. Very relatable.

This was very well done Mark et al!

hey Mark, i love all your videos and my life has improved following your psychiatry❤❤

I'm in the cutting back phase. Almost 2 weeks not drinking beer (I was downing anywhere from 4-10 tall boys of IPA/variety daily). Now that being said I've been drinking less, but its been seltzers and wine. Slowly feeling better because I'm drinking less over all, and that feeling you mentioned about wanting to drink less because you actually start to feel the hangovers when your tolerance starts to drop is slowly starting to happen for me - hopefully I can keep building on this momentum!

Hello mark ,I am Benard from Nigeria and I have been your student,for a while and trust me my life sucks less ,you are a rare gem

The nighttime routines ARE the real shit - now that you’ve said it out loud, I actually see that most of my struggles - the binge eating urges, the overwhelming sense of loneliness - all of that is evening stuff, and that’s where you need your routines!

loved every minute of this.

Keep them coming

Always nice to listen to Mark, yeah

You're helping me and a lot of people out there. Thank you.

"It's the fact that you gave up alternatives, that makes that thing meaningful" I needed this so much and didn't know.

Thank you man ❤

For shame - I think it’s best when it’s left in the rearview mirror as a learning lesson. When you start becoming afraid of potential future shame from that past experience and it causes you to hold yourself back, that’s when it’s negative.

Thanks for this. I’ve always enjoyed the way you teach on these topics. As a health practitioner, I’m also glad that you have jumped on the health bandwagon!

34:30 ...so greatful you took my question and yes I really wanted to ask about your future goals and your mindset (when you were back in freshman year as i am (20)). Thanks for answering mark

Thank you for making videos, Love and respect from Iran ❤ Can you please also teach us "How to focus on something?" because we are using social media so much and after that we can't focus on one page of book specially if that book is made for universities and schools.

About the marathon goal: I totally get it. I was a little judgmental when I saw you quit, but I did a half-marathon on March, and boy it was time consuming. I went through with it cuz the idea of quitting is not acceptable for me but I can see now if it doesn’t aligned with my current life situation why obsessing? Good video man

i binge-watch this type of videos like self-help and about money making.

Mark You have truly made a positive difference in my life. I'm currently reading your book "subtle art," but I'm having trouble understanding your second book, "everything is f*ck." Nevertheless, I'll keep reading your books until I figure out what they're about. Can i get a hi from you?

Can you make a video about the advantages of getting married?

Great questions and answers! Question - About the 'live your dream/manifestation' in business, do you think you should go for your big purpose or just for a smaller dream goal? All the personal development is about your 'one big purpose', that does feel kind of overwhelming. If i want to be a podcaster like you for example, its like kind of an impossible dream or go for (example) i am opening a studio and help some local people with video, for example. Its kind of sth that is really hard to get clear on..

don't shoot for the stars, that's the bullest shit ever and a huge motivation killer. set the bar low, then you might as well have some success along the way. if you want to be a podcaster, try making money with it by all means and keep trying different things until you can, if you manage to, that'll keep you going. as time passes you'll see how much you can earn and how fast you can grow. see if the hardships and problems that come with it are something you want to deal with in the long run, because that's what actually makes it or breaks it. solving these problems are supposed to be the source of your happiness and they're gonna just upscale and hopefully also upgrade as you go bigger and bigger, but fundamentally remain the same. success in the reality is findig the set of problems you are willing to fight on a constant basis, "money and fame" are just side effects. if the latter 2 are what motivate you, you'd better quit, otherwise you're just setting yourself up for failure. if you don't want to walk the road, only get there, you're fucked. it's the road that matters :) as soon as you realize that your freedom lies within the fact that you get to choose your own problems, you are already successful

I see seeing the stars lining up with continuous intentions as the recipe for becoming fortunate. Luck is no different than stepping in dog💩 I have had more people tell me how lucky I am and they just don't get IT. I'm not lucky. I am fortunate. Very different. Not interchangeable.

With regard to making it in music, whatever ‘making it’ means. Being the best musician, song writer or performer doesn’t necessarily equate to being financially successful. Signing a record deal with one of the major labels is now mostly a matter of needing to firstly have developed a significant social media following and being saleable (physical attractiveness probably helps…)and that doesn’t automatically equate to earning money either. Perhaps rather than setting a deadline for success they firstly need to set a target of what success can actually look like for them.

To people who want to quit drinking: I highly recommend checking out Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol. I know it's not for everyone, but won't hurt giving it a chance, right? Thanks to this book I quit drinking in December 2022, and I am so happy about it ❤

I have just finished reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. I'm surprised I actually finished it - kept finding pieces that held me. Especially took away three helpful Values to embrace and share with friends - Honesty, Authenticity, and Welcoming Doubt. Watching you now for the first time, I feel offended and put off by the F word's habitual use. I have 7 Grandchildren. Three of them teenagers who use this word often. I've grown used to the word's frequent use and am not averse to sometimes uttering it when expressing anger. Seeing you, and hearing the frequent use of it, I feel put-off. Don't want to recommend you to others.

Re music career. What is Mark’s definition of “making it”? Ultimately, do your thing if you’re good enough you’ll get paid for it if it meets your needs financially and in other ways then keep doing it.

"The Goddess of good luck favors men of action"

Giving up alternatives feels like that one split second in Casino Royale, underwater. She’s like ok... no going back and then this split second of panic like oh f*ck. I wish I could tell everyone that nothing should cost that much. You should write an anonymous book about the second thing that keeps you going. That would improve the world for sure. And write a bunch of books about people like Pilecki. You reminded me how much I used to love autobiographies/biographies as a kid. I think my favorite one that I can think of right now was one about Edith Kermit Roosevelt I got a first edition of that in some library sale a million years ago I looked it up and it wasn’t an autobiography but it had so many of her letters that I thought it was lol Another cool one was a whole book of poems about the radio by some government guy. I really want to find that one again but I think they’re all dust it was the cheapest crappy publisher, paperback before paperbacks. And I can’t remember his name. it was just a bunch of his favorite thoughts and how wireless was going to change the world. This video was a lot of fun just like everything you do it sent me on a hundred mental paths 🖤 you’re so inspiring.

F*ck It. A book about chasing your most ambitious Dreams.

YOu know what a good topic would be, discussing toxic shame and toxic guilt from abusive parents and the toxic positivity they then push on their kids.. no matter what age. Narc parents need a wake up call.. how to respect their kids, how to PROPERLY apologize as well..

Serious question: When is Self Help Singh coming to the podcast? That episode would be amazing.

The point about acknowledging the role of commitment and how it differs from the ideal of pure freedom really strikes a chord. It goes against the grain of so much that's celebrated in modern self-help culture.
