Episode notes
Success Can Become A Creative Prison
- Success creates a pressure to repeat formulas, which can feel like a prison for creativity.
- Mark Manson chose to write differently to prove he could fail and regain freedom to create new work.
Own Your Post-Success Anxiety
- Identify the true source of your stress instead of blaming external forces like publishers.
- Ask yourself what you want next after achieving a big goal and own that choice.
Negative Emotions Have Utility
- Negative emotions evolved because they serve useful functions like motivating decisions.
- Use current anxiety or anger to clarify values and take action rather than merely avoid feelings.
