เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
The podcast that doesn't give a f*ck. Bestselling author Mark Manson discusses some of life's counterintuitive insights, interviews some of the world's smartest people, and manages to laugh his ass of while doing it.
How to Build a Life Full of Meaning and Purpose (ft. Arthur Brooks)
Today, I sit down with Arthur Brooks, a renowned social scientist and happiness expert, for a deep dive into the realms of meaning, faith, and love. Our conversation takes unexpected turns as we explore the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and personal growth. From discussing the evolutionary roots of our search for meaning to examining the role of faith in modern life, this episode challenges conventional wisdom and offers fresh perspectives on age-old questions.
We cover a wide range of topics, including the importance of boredom in fostering creativity, the dangers of political activism as a substitute for religion, and the keys to a successful marriage. Arthur shares insights from his work with the Dalai Lama, explains why young men are increasingly turning to religion, and offers advice on finding meaning in a world dominated by technology. Whether you're grappling with questions of faith, seeking to understand the nature of love, or simply looking for ways to live a more fulfilling life, this conversation will leave you with plenty to ponder and explore further.

Drew comes in hot today as we dig into the nitty gritty of confidence and motivation.

If you've ever struggled with self-doubt or felt demotivated despite external achievements, this episode might just change your perspective. We start by dissecting what I call...

Amor fati
This interview gives me hope about life, thank you for sharing.
Bookmarks, brother
I have NEVER heard another human being explain exactly how i think about words and language, the symbols we use to communicate, and how weird they are. I always suspected i was weird but now its confirmed! Thank you @RobertGreeneOfficial for this conversation.
Shrier is terrific. I have listened to four or five interviews she's done over the past few years, and she is saying what many of us already know, or at least have a pretty good sense for.
And I should have added to my comment that she is saying what needs to be said, because there has been too much institutionalized zaniness via WOKE ideology in all of its forms. And this includes too damned much therapy. We live in a safety culture that has made us soft.
...everything is a fucking "syndrome" these days
I picked up my coffee to watch and I had the feeling that I was at the same room listening to them. Thank you!
I know him from 2009 and 48 lows of power was a univercity book of our major...wonderful!
I LOVE ROBERT GREENE. ❤
Damn, this got real homophobic towards the end.
The comment around people who are religious when young and drifted away, are likely to come back later in life. I can say for me, in seeing the behavior of my church (Southern Baptist), I can say that is highly unlikely for me. The issue is not belief in god but rather belief in the organization.
My phone connection is by Jio of reliance not worried about calling
I miss Drew :( -- had to turn this one off, disagreed too much with guest even 20 mins in.
What an amazing, mindfuckingly insightful and very valuable podcast. Thank you for providing this for free of cost. I'll keep coming back to this one.🤘🏻🙌🏻✅
Really impressed with the guy in the black shirt who was silent for so long. I probably couldn't do that.
Why don't you have kids, Mark?
Fantastic conversation. I never heard of Arthur before, would love to see him on another podcast, and I will explore more of his work. Any recommendation for his book?
best episode so far! :)
Dude spent 30 minutes chilling before he broke out the Religious inception machine.
I wonder what his perspective on psilocybin is. You can get that transcendence and “divine” from a hero dose.
Really great episode. 🙏🏻
The values of Christ are wonderful. Religious institutions are not. They are businesses that preach nonsense counter to reality and ask you to tithe 10% of your income to stay open.
The title of this video is misleading.. Should have included that this would be based on religion. Why should someone who doesn’t believe in god be urged to still go to church? lol give me a break. this is not the only way to find purpose or meet people.
Yeah, conservative agenda disguised as helpfulness.
"Your faith is only as meaningful as the doubt you overcome." - my son, a rabbinical student in Jerusalem
Dont let anyone determine what you need or what is "small" or "big" change. Never let fools on social media with neatly quaffed hair preach to you about "validation" and direction in life. Do what is positive and try to give selflessly and do it at a comfortable level for YOU 🫶💪🙏
This guy (the guest) says absolutely nothing new.
Love this episode!
Oh yes! Looking forward to another great book by Arthur Brooks.. I was expecting an intellectual teardown (or at least intense questioning) by Mark Manson, but instead we got an almost religious-conversion by Arthur Brooks! 😂😂😂😅😅😅
Before I listened to this podcast I felt lost in life. 51 minutes into this and I'm starting to feel suicidal. I'm not religious and was looking for something else other than religion. However I still like the podcast. Personally I'd rather be a nihilist.
This guest is terrible.
Lost me at 22:00
inchoate, adj. - just begun
I watched this when it was first released and there's a point in there made that 3 months later I'm still thinking of..........because it's so wrong. She says something about people being able to form and maintain negative stereotypes from lack of experience of or lack of time spent with whatever group.........but I find the opposite to be true. I didn't actually grow up with many negative stereotypes of women (and I still don't have an overwhelming number of them before some calls me an incel or a Tate disciple) but most of the stereotypes I have of single women and how women act in their personal lives and the dating world come from growing up with at least as many female friends as male, getting to know them on a deep level, and being close enough with them to really see behind the curtain of their thoughts and behaviors when dating guys (no necessarily myself) COMBINED a plethora of experience dating women myself and just seeing certain patterns arise over and over in all different types of women from all different backgrounds, socioeconomic status, etc. I'm sure the true is same for men. The point here being this came from the opposite of lack of experience and time spent.
30:20 I can attest to that. I went for the military but ended up realizing it wasn't really for me and failed halfway through bootcamp. I ended up learning so much about myself and gained some important skills even in just the 4.5 weeks I was there. Really changed my outlook on life too. I was in a better spot than if I hadn't tried at all.
I've mentioned this before, it's worth saying again - Church as community is a thing of the past and I doubt we will see it again. For the past 10-15 years at least, Church - whether that's Catholic, Protestant or even Unitarian Universalist - is an agenda. The expectation to toe a line, pay to join, etc is inescapable. I understand the need for community, I really do, but Church as an institution has become too divisive and polarizing. I usually like Arthur, but I found the ideas about keeping money separate in marriage being immature to be obtuse. The legal hurdles people have to face dealing with the death of a spouse, let alone situations like escaping physical abuse or problems like substance abuse make it a necessity.
Looking for these thoughts, my sentiments exactly.
Yes! Mark Manson n Arthur Brooks in the same room! 😊
Looks like there is a bot promoting a book in this comment section
Hell yeah! This guy is smart as a whip! Great brain food.. I marvel at great communicators like these guys. Grateful for this podcast.
Folks should watch the Wim Wenders film “Perfect Days.” The main character is a public toilet cleaner in Japan. He’s a solitary individual (never lonely, there’s a distinction) and finds his life’s purpose in what he does fulfilling. He’s utilitarian and has routine. It’s a masterpiece.
masterpiece! Also, why are japanese toilets so damn fancy? :D
Steve jobs is that you?
Already don’t like going to the gym but going anyway for obvious reasons. now he is saying i need to make it even worse by doing it in total silence 😱
So the new guest list is just "random grifters" now?
I’ve spent 25 years going to church… no thanks I’ll find my community in another place
I just wanted to comment that I love that the video just starts without a preview! Thanks!
Instagram is my waste of time.
Love Mark. Arthur not that much. This conversation was ok
Mark is being Christ-Pilled 😂
Love this! And looking forward to Arthur's book as well.
there was a time when i kept wondering why some people seemed to naturally draw others in while i was just…there. no matter what i tried, i couldn’t figure out how they did it. then someone mentioned the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and i decided to check it out. the way it explains how your aura affects everything around you? it blew me away. it’s like having a secret code to unlock your magnetic energy. this book is a game-changer.
