## Resource

Daniel Robbins sits down with Mark Manson to unpack why the internet hijacks our attention, amplifies anxiety, and makes it harder to choose what actually matters. Mark breaks down how he built a content empire by spotting platform shifts early, why he “viciously curates” his feeds, and how to handle hate without spiraling. They also go deep on purpose, AI companions, and why the real skill of this era is pruning your life down to what you value most.
