Mark Manson

I shaved.

Which you haven't done in a while, I've noticed.

I'm a new person.

If you were as superficial as I am.

Oh, okay.

There is no soul within this walking meat robot known as Mark Manson.

Therefore, the fact that I changed my jacket and shaved and sat us in front of a new wall is the entirety of myself.

You know, the Buddha said there's no such thing as self.

Can you change that which does not exist?

Can you just read the intro, please?

Okay.

All right, I'll read the intro.

Here we go.

Welcome to Solved, everybody.

I am Marc Manson, and today we're talking about ch-ch-ch-changes.

I'm going to take a not-so-wild guess and say that if you're listening to this, you have tried at some point in your life to make a big change.

You've read the books, you've done the courses, you've woken up at 4 a.m.

like a pale-faced Victorian factory owner and journaled your intentions into a leather-bound notebook while the rest of the world slept.

Why do I let you write the intros?

You have tried, dear listener.
