Episode 3734:

Mark Manson unpacks why therapy, journaling, and meditation all reliably boost mental health, despite their different methods. At the core, each helps us step back from our emotions by turning them into something observable, which builds self-awareness and loosens the ego’s grip. This shift from “I am my feelings” to “I am observing my feelings” opens space for clarity, choice, and growth.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/how-to-get-better

Quotes to ponder:

"The value of therapy isn’t the therapy. It’s the context. It’s the environment."

"There is something mysteriously powerful about verbalizing your thoughts and feelings; it somehow causes them to lose their power over you."

"They are three tools for building self-awareness and chipping away at the ego."
