The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

Malia is the happiest that you're here right now.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

I think the reason for that is like,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

We're biohackers, and we don't know how to biohack that.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

How do you measure that?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

And what I will tell you without naming any names, some of the people I hold in the highest regard, I mean, some of the most intellectually dominant figures in this industry that are mentors of mine, I've read multiple books of theirs, have the worst relationships.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

Yeah.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

and have had multiple failed relationships.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

And I would love to unpack that.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

I find that very refreshing.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

In fact, I've heard you talk about an experiment where this guy had before and after pictures and he got in really, really, really good shape.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

Yes.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

And they showed these before and after images to a large audience of men and women.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

And the men all picked the image of the guy when he was jacked, not when he had the dad bod.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

Yeah.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

And

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

And then the vast majority of the women picked the image of the guy when he still had the dad bod.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

And the way that you explained and rationalized it just made so much sense because you were like, you know, they looked at this figure and said, he doesn't actually look like he'd be that much fun.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

Yeah.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

He's probably going to leave the party at 9 o'clock.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression

He's probably getting up at 6 in the morning to work out.
