Episode notes
Values Define Who You Are
- Mark Manson argues we become the sum of what we choose to value because values drive feelings, actions, and attention.
- Changing values thus reshapes identity since behaviors and priorities follow what we deem valuable.
Try On New Values First
- Try 'trying on' values by visualizing what life and relationships would look like without a current desire.
- Use that reverse-visualization to test whether a new value fits before committing to it.
Mourning A Lost Identity
- Mark describes losing his musician identity after music school and grieving that loss like a breakup.
- He explains letting go of a defining value triggers mourning because it removes a core source of meaning.
