Good Weekend Talks

Mark Manson, author of 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k' on how the self-help industry gets it wrong


Listen Later

In today’s episode, American author, speaker and blogger Mark Manson discusses how the mantra of relentless positivity, which drives so much of the self-help industry, is full of pitfalls. He explains how negative emotions have a purpose - to drive us to do something - and why the willingness to look like an idiot occasionally guards against self-entitlement. He gives us tips on how to be realistic in our lives, how to maintain hope - and what not to do with cyber stalkers. 

Hosting this talk is Good Weekend deputy editor, Greg Callaghan.
