It's unrealistic to expect that you're going to connect or see eye to eye with every single person that you ever meet. You actually don't want everybody to be your friend because then you don't really stand for anything, right? Ooh, that's interesting.
A prolific author and content creator, he wrote the infamous book... The Subtle Art of Not Giving a , which many consider to be the generation-defining self-help book.
Sold over 10 million copies... The Subtle Art of Not Giving a... I'm really trying not to say the word.
There's a lot of statistics around kids cutting off their parents, and it really makes me uncomfortable because you can have really terrible parents, but you can manage that relationship and manage your exposure to them in a way that you don't have to eliminate them from your life permanently. You create a boundary. Exactly. I've got a whole rant about manifestation, which... My audience loves manifestation, so it's going to trigger everyone.
I know they do. Trigger warning. Mark's coming in on the manifestation. Let's hear it.
Welcome back, everyone, to the School of Greatness. Very excited about our guest. We have my friend Mark Manson in the house, who's been on the New York Times bestseller list for, I think, six years now. Is that right? About six years off and on, 360 weeks?

I've moved in the second.

You've had a lot of experience on a lot of different topics over 15 years since you've been creating content.
