#54 Mark Manson and Jordan B. Peterson

Welcome to the Mikhaila Peterson Podcast – this is an episode co-hosted by @Jordan B Peterson​. In this episode, we spoke with @Mark Manson​, a best-selling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, and more recently, Everything Is F*cked: A Book about Hope, which has sold over thirteen million copies worldwide. He’s also a very popular blogger.

We discussed how to properly set goals, the destabilizing effects of social media, the value of committed relationships, and responsibility. Mark and Jordan compared experiences as authors who fit into the self-help category and their search for meaning as men inside and outside of religion.
