Alex is a happiness guru, but his life is a lie. After his talk on "radical positivity" bombs, a tweet nails his reality: he's "one inspirational quote away from a complete breakdown". He's right. Alex is a fraud , drowning in the toxic advice he sells , and itâs landed him in a hotel room having a full-blown panic attack.
He is trapped in "The Feedback Loop from Hell". This immersive narrative audiobook explores the core idea of Mark Manson's "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck": Our obsession with wanting to be happy is the very thing making us miserable.
In this episode, you will discover:
THE FEEDBACK LOOP FROM HELL: Why the desire for a positive experience is, itself, a negative experience. And why accepting your pain is, paradoxically, a positive one .
HAPPINESS IS PROBLEM-SOLVING: Why the secret to a good life isn't avoiding problems, but finding good problems to solve (like unclogging a disgusting sink) .
YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL: How letting go of the pressure to be "extraordinary" and accepting your "average" life is the only thing that sets you free .
CHOOSING YOUR STRUGGLE: How to stop giving a fck about things that don't matter (like your follower count) and start giving a fck about what does (like an abused dog named Buster) .
