Episode 3389:
Mark Manson challenges us to rethink what we truly want in life, urging us to consider not just the pleasures we seek but the struggles we're willing to endure to achieve them. True fulfillment, he argues, stems from our capacity to embrace pain and difficulty, as it shapes the quality of our lives and our success.

Quotes to ponder:
"Happiness requires struggle. The positive is the side effect of handling the negative."
"What determines your success isn’t 'What do you want to enjoy?' The question is, 'What pain do you want to sustain?'"
"What we get out of life is not determined by the good feelings we desire, but by what bad feelings we’re willing and able to sustain to get us to those good feelings."
