my trauma therapist says Anxiety is the overestimation of threat and the under estimation of the ability to cope! - hope this helps someone! it saved me! ❤

This was sooooo good. “You can’t just sit on your couch and think ur way out of ur values. U have to go live them and have them fail you”🤯

“You’ll stop worrying about what people think of you when you realise how seldom they do” that’s such a powerful quote. Steve your podcasts are changing the lives of many men and woman out there, keep them coming 💙

Especially liked the section about the importance of treating others well. From a brain perspective, we can lie and manipulate others, but our own brain will ALWAYS know the truth of who we are. The reason we should treat others well is not just a selfless act, but because it’s good for our OWN mental health!

"Unless your problem is you're hungry, money is not going to solve it." Excellent!

"There is nothing more painful to the human mind than a great and sudden change." -Mary Shelley

As a mid thirties female, I didn’t think this would be the podcast for me. He is interesting, wise, has a good awareness of his life, fun in a non-forced way, likeable. Also he doesn’t fit into any particular stereotype - he seems like his own person. Loved this one!

I haven't read all the comments, but immediately I want to point out that what you two are talking about is known as Childhood Emotional Neglect. It's been said that to harm a child you don't have to do a thing. Do nothing, ignore your kids, teach them nothing about emotional regulation, and the child will always wonder if they are ok. Marc, we were raised with Benevolent Neglect as the dominant tone of parenting in the 80's.

I read Subtle Art between hikes as I was trying to reach the top of Kilimanjaro. The book helped to make sense of what I was escaping and what I was hoping to achieve. Without the book I'd have returned home simply feeling good, but with the help of the book I returned home feeling positive. To me, there's a huge difference.

“Stubbornly and unnegotiably protecting my right to be my true self in life” that was so well articulated. I want it printed on a T-shirt.

Please keep in mind everyone that these men are talking about normal people in normal relationships,. What this means is not with narcissists or sociopaths. It is normal to be wounded and insecure, but entering into relationships with people who lack empathy, don't care about anyone's needs but their own and have no ability to love and be loved. If you are in a relationship with a narcissist or a sociopath things work differently, and this advice will backfire in the worst possible ways. The prompted me to write this comment was when he started talking about honesty, and while it is always critical to be honest with ourselves in a relationship with a disordered person your honesty will be one sided and as well as used against you. The best advice I can offer is to work on loving yourself and healing your trauma and when you pull people into your orbit and into your heart make sure that they are empathic and they care about your needs, and that your life is better with them in it, and let them go if your life becomes more difficult, confusing, exhausting , and painful.

Tom Magilozzi said, "Happiness equals reality minus expectations." Another amazing guest, Mark is very insightful. Some very good advice here. I especially liked the part about mental health.

When I got through Burnout and depression three years ago, Mark's book, which I found on Youtube, was the first step to change my thinking and priorities. The process is still going on....

I love your interview skills. Thanks for letting people talk.

Oh Mark🤤 I’m so dazzled by his candid endless mindfulness and profoundness. But the end of reading “The subtle art of not giving a f*ck” I’ve felt like my entire universe took a ginormous pivot and I vividly remember this distinct feeling with every next page I’ve read , it was like something magical would take over my mind and my heart and every cell in my body would start to blossom. I’ve never felt so liberated, awakened and empowered ever before. I didn’t have money to go to therapy when i felt my lowest, and instead I started reading Mark’s book. It felt like it was written for me. It gave me more clarity and awareness than any therapy ever would💔💔💔

Wow never clicked so fast. Everything about this podcast is perfect, the guests, the diverse questions and insightful theories! There is also an incredible amount of depth in Steven's communication with guests!

Aww how wonderful to hear 2 guys chatting so openly about everything. Much needed. This was actually my favourite chat so far. Mark is great. Well done Steven, great project xxx

One of my favourite aspects of your podcast is the relatable nature of your guests. We all come from different backgrounds, but we are all human and have similar issues in our minds👊

Lewis Hamilton would be an incredible guest on this podcast! I can't even imagine the things Lewis and Steve would talk about 💡🚀
