Awesome! It is possible to laugh, explore different ideas without taking yourself too seriously.

I stumbled here because I started reading the book. I love the transparency and the ability of the hosts to admit their mistakes and when they are wrong. The podcast feels natural like the hosts are not trying so hard to impress me and in essence I am impressed 🤗

“Only conservative women are getting married and having children, and single liberal women are staying single and not having children.” Successful women only want to date men who are more successful than them?! I hadn’t finished listening to the politics episode before my previous review. Just wow. I was hoping listening to this episode would help, but it didn’t.

There’s something unpolished and normal about this show that is refreshing. Every podcast is infusing all this gravitas and drama, the music, the intros, the environment, it’s starting to take itself to seriously. Yea… not this show. These guys know who they are, are smart enough to let intelligent (mostly) conversation come out naturally, and they are incredibly relatable. Exactly what this space needs. That’s why the show has a 4.9 rating and over 3.2k reviews.

I really like listening to this podcast. It is interesting, entertaining, and easy to digest. I do miss the old format with the guest speakers. I felt like I learned a lot from their experiences. You don't have to have them on every week but once and a while would be great.

My favorite thinker of my own generation. I love the refreshing sometimes surprising and always educational.

I find this podcast helpful because it reminds me that I’m probably taking most things too seriously or too personally. Sometimes the episodes feel like listening to folks having conversations over a beer.

I love this show. It’s something totally different in the “self-help” / pop knowledge space. It really seems like the hosts are doing what they love and being authentic. I relate to so many of the episodes.

I love this podcast I read the book and it helped me give less fcks❣️

Been following Mark Manson for ten years! Great content

I’d like to thank you for introducing me to Stephen Pressfield. I always love your podcasts but this one was just what I needed to hear.

Life isn’t perfect and this podcast helps unearth useful gems in a relatable way - not perfect and can be applied in real life

Great advice for productivity and life in general!

Love your books and your thanks for doing this!

There’s some good info and advice sprinkled in between a great deal of survivorship bias and privilege. Use with caution.

Good practical suggestions with good supporting reasons /data for why they make sense.

This podcast dives deeper into the concepts laid out in the book in a way that helps me realize that constantly seeking new productivity and motivation “hacks” is really just avoiding dealing with the life happening right in front of us.

Mark and his guests tackle very serious topic that can be life changing for some of the listeners but they always remember to take a good laugh at it. Mark’s laugh is contagious I am laughing even when I am not sure I got the reference. Great content, great guests, deep conversation, can’t stop listening. Thank you guys!

I can’t get enough of your content, Mark! Having read all your books (the audiobook Love is Not Enough is a hidden gem imho), tons of your blogposts, and even the audio-narrations of your articles that you used to do, I’m super excited that you’ve turned to podcasting. I’ve now binged all the episodes and look forward to your new releases every week. Keep being awesome!

Great podcast for just taking a walk and learning something new. Really enjoy the topics they share. Well done!

Love this podcast! Each week a new podcast gets released, I feel like a kid in a candy shop; super excited and full of anticipation. Fun, practical, wise and very insightful. Keep doing you Mark!

After reading Mark’s book “The Subtle Art” and Will Smith’s autobiography, I was hooked on his style of writing. The best way I can describe it is that he writes non-fictional books with a fictional overtone. I also think I resonate with Mark in other ways such as we are both writers, he’s the same age and he thrives on sharing practicality. That’s exactly what you’ll get from this pod…practicality that you can apply and make your life better immediately after listening.

New listener here. The episodes with Drew are my favorites so far.

Listened to the blue dot episode. You lost me when you told people who are currently living on the poverty line they live better than Kings used to. Stinks of privilege. Might try your delivery with a dose of empathy. Won’t be listening to more or purchasing any books.

I’m intrigued by his pragmatic approach do different concepts.

Other millionaires aren’t listening to your show. Just poor people like me. You are too rich and out of touch to give advice to anyone but your millionaire friends. I used to love the books, but it looks like I have to move on.

I like this podcast. I want more recommendations for more

Talks about things that are important in an ever increasing world of superficiality. Perfect mix of philosophy with psychology and relating it to real life. So happy I’ve found this podcast, it’s done more for me than therapy tbh

I consider this podcast to be among the best media I can consume. Each episode leaves me feeling inspired and wanting more… even when I don’t fully agree. I like that it makes me think about my core values and beliefs and helps me channel that into living a life I care about. I appreciate the blunt, humorous, and humble-by-not-being-humble approach to the topics. Highly recommended!

Every thing you say has merit

Always learn some new take aways. Love the blunt and practical application, especially for someone who gets too stuck in their head.

Incredible show

With do something principle now I can listen to podcasts

I haven’t read subtle art yet, however, I like this podcast a lot, I’ve been following the youtube channel and I love the podcast format, keep making awesome content!

I recently found this podcast and it’s so informative and a breath of fresh air. It’s so different and is very interesting. They have facts based on studies and research. Love it !! Also love their sense of humor

I read the book a few years ago and then the YouTube algorithm recommended him to me a few days ago. Some really great ideas to help improve your life.

I am giving this podcast 4 stars and will continue to listen. I only listened to the bad therapy episode and honestly mark I’d love for you to have an actual clinical psychologist or licensed mental health professional on your show, PLEASE! Abagail Shrier was talking nonsense. Some of the stuff she was saying would make sense- if that was what was happening! No school professional is sitting around telling their students to focus on their anxiety and talk about how traumatic their life is. As a school psychologist, I promise you- we’re trying to help them MOVE PAST IT. And I will tell you, ive worked with many many children who’s parents were in fact strict and dismissive with their child’s issues and those are ALWAYS the parents that get cut off or children who try to take their own life. This was kind of an appalling episode but I’m going to listen to more to get a feel of the show!

Mark really makes me think about things from other perspectives. I am a 20-something female (probably not the target audience) but I find something useful in every episode. I find myself “saving” episodes for when I would bee too preoccupied. I want to be able to really listen to what he has to say! I love that he’s not the most politically correct, sometimes I think people sugar coat things too much and we just need to be honest with each other.

I had seen the book for a number of years and finally read his books and now his podcast. Entertaining and Educational.

Really appreciate mark’s approach.

Love your podcast so much I wish you did more than one a week!?! I always look forward to your podcast pop up.

I’m a SAHM and have listened to this podcast almost everyday this past month. As someone who was/is finding a hard time navigating this world, Mark Manson and his conversations with other intellects has greatly helped me to not feel so alone in my own thoughts and perceptions. Highly recommended everyone to listen!

Mark Manson’s books and podcast are highly recommended. They bring me contentment in an uncertain world.

Good insight and hopefully may get some awareness for myself.

Mark says the quiet part out loud! He speaks to what i think everyone knows in there head, and for whatever reason we have, we keep it to ourselves. Thanks mark i hope your platform only gets bigger!!

Knowledgeable and informative, fun and entertaining, M squared is worth your time.

As a stoic I appreciated the review and advice on living a stoic life, but also I won’t let it affect me too much since it’s out of my control.

I love the realness!

Mark Manson is the one and only speaker/writer/content creator that my husband and I can agree on! I know he wouldn’t like the title personal development “guru” but Mark truly has insights and hot takes that are unique, thoughtful and based on lived experience. We enjoy watching the on YouTube because my partner hates audio podcasts. I enjoy listening to podcasts while cleaning/doing dishes but we have made watching/tuning in to the Mark Manson podcast a viewing event. Just like we used to get settled in for Game of Thrones every week at night now that’s what we do in the mornings with our coffee/tea. The rapport that Mark and Drew have and their back-and-forth is a really interesting dynamic. Practical “advice” that is meaningful, insightful, entertaining and (most importantly) what inspires us to actually take action! Thank you Mark!

I love this podcast ! The language is direct and honest . A variety of topics to live better , learn something etc. I never thought I would listen to podcasts but I drive hours on end for work and decided to listen to something to best utilize this time . This podcast have given me some good insights on different perspectives to approach certain things in my life differently.
