How did traveling shape Mark Manson's mindset?

Mark Manson 1:41
I write self-help for people who hate self-help. My book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, it sold a million copies, I think, within six or eight months. I never planned for anything after this in my life, and I'm only 32 years old, so what the hell am I supposed to do next?
