Ep#187 The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F---
Manage episode 497522715 series 3000762
In this episode, I unpack some of the core ideas from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k by Mark Manson — and how they relate (or don’t) to burnout recovery. We’ll explore why the pursuit of positivity can backfire, what “choosing your struggles” actually means, and how to take radical responsibility without shame or blame.
You’ll hear my take on:
- Why you shouldn’t try to care about everything
- The role of values, pain, and freedom in how you spend your energy
- Where “extreme ownership” helps burnout — and where it harms
- Why accepting the bad is key to getting your power back
This isn’t about blaming yourself. It’s about choosing what really matters — so you can stop the self-abandonment cycle and start living with purpose again.
📍 Mentioned:
- Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin
- The Last Word on Power by Tracy Goss
