  • Using this time as an opportunity to let go and surrender to a greater potential

Mini Ep – A Reply to Mark Manson

January 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

I love Mark Manson’s weekly newsletter called “Motherf*ckin’ Monday”  where he discusses three ideas about the mind, life or the world.

This week’s newsletter had three important ideas that I wanted to discuss and debate to some degree with Mark. 

They are:

1. Your next big breakthrough is already here
2. Is the growth mindset just another fad?
3. Breakthroughs rarely feel good 

As someone who focuses on breakthroughs, transformations and slow changes over time and someone who has gotten some mileage out of the growth mindset, I wanted to add my two cents to the discussion. I hope you enjoy.
