Advice that Doesn’t Suck

Mark Manson is a self-help author who has written multiple best-selling books.  I’ve gotten a massive amount of useful information from him over the years, and I’d like to share some of it with you today. 


Here are direct or paraphrased quotes from Manson -


“3 Steps to Insane Success

  1. Have a contrarian idea
  2. Be correct about that idea
  3. Execute on it massively”

 

“The hardest part about achieving extreme success is being a correct contrarian.”

 

“You are responsible for everything in your own experience, even if it is not your fault.”

 

“There is no such thing as a bad emotion.  There are only bad reactions to emotions.”

 

“The more you hate a trait in someone, the more likely it is that you’re avoiding that trait in yourself”

 

“You can only have a happy relationship if you’re happy being by yourself.”

 

“Learn how to care about others and learn how to show them that you care.”

 

“Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.”
