In this episode Mark talks about why it's important to pay attention to the tension. 
The gap between the life we want and the life we want to live can create a tension. This tension can lead to frustration, depression, emptiness, etc. If the tension is not resolved it can lead to behavior problems like excessive drinking, overeating, etc. These behaviors often get the attention, but the tension is the real problem. 

One conversation can lead to clarity.
