Mark Manson is the mind behind the revolutionary book, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck”. This in-depth discussion provides a unique opportunity to delve into the principles and philosophy that underline Mark’s groundbreaking approach to personal development.

Born in Austin, Texas, in 1984, Mark Manson has quickly risen to become one of the most influential figures in the self-help industry. His unconventional approach to personal development, which advocates for a more grounded, realistic outlook on life’s challenges, has resonated with audiences worldwide. As the host of London Real, I’ve had the chance to meet and converse with many thought leaders, and I can genuinely say that his refreshing take on life is a standout.


Manson’s bestselling book, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck,” has proven to be a game-changer. It is not your typical self-help guide. Instead of promoting an always-positive mindset, it presents a starkly different perspective. Manson suggests that it’s more important to learn how to handle life’s inevitable difficulties. He argues that we need to be selective about what we truly care about to live more fulfilling lives.

During this interview, Mark Manson unravels these themes in greater depth, offering insights into his philosophy and giving practical advice on how to implement these principles in everyday life. I found our discussion to be enlightening, filled with candid observations and a healthy dose of reality that is often missing from conversations about personal development.

Together, we delve into societal pressures that contribute to our stress and anxiety, exploring how his philosophy can guide us in navigating these challenges. We also touch upon his latest book, “Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope”, where Manson explores the crisis of hope and the truths about happiness and hope.

Beyond his books, Mark Manson’s journey itself is an inspiring story. He started as a blogger and faced many obstacles and rejections along the way. But his resilience and belief in his message propelled him forward, leading to the global recognition he enjoys today. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance and staying true to one’s unique voice.

As we navigate our conversation, we also touch upon Mark’s views on success, failure, and the importance of values. His perspective on these topics provides a refreshing departure from mainstream narratives. He articulates the intricacies of these concepts with a clarity that comes from deep introspection and understanding.
