About the Episode

About the episode

Resilience isn’t just about gritting your teeth and enduring pain—it’s about managing the stories you tell yourself. In this episode, I break down why most people get resilience wrong and how mastering the “second arrow” is the real key to bouncing back. We dive into post-traumatic growth, why caring about something bigger than yourself makes you stronger, and how focusing on what you can control changes everything.

Mark Manson Quotes From the Episode

You don’t build psychological resilience by feeling good all the time. You build psychological resilience by getting better at feeling bad.

The sick and twisted truth about human nature is that as much as we crave feeling good all the time, there’s a small part of us that kind of likes the pain and the struggles.

Scarcity never disappears. It just gets displaced.
