Mark Manson Quotes From the Episode

It’s easy to overestimate how much you have to do when it comes to health and fitness. It’s an 80/20 thing. If you just do the first 20%, you’re going to get 80% of the benefit—both physically and emotionally.

Having really unhealthy relationships warps your perception of the wider world. A nice litmus test is to go through the people closest to you and ask yourself: if I failed at something or embarrassed myself, how supportive would this person be?

Just because you love something doesn’t mean you should try to make money from it.

Start with practical. Start with what makes you a buck. Get really good at that, get rewarded for it, and then all of the passion and meaningfulness and satisfaction will come.
