My guest today is Mark Manson, an author and personal development consultant. Manson has worked with thousands of people from over 20 countries and his writing offers a different take on the self-help genre. Manson calls it \u201cself help from a first person perspective\u201d. He has sold over 15,000 copies of his book \u201cModels: Attract Women Through Honesty\u201d and almost 400,000 people read his site each month. He\u2019s been published and quoted on CNN, Huffington Post, Business Insider, Yahoo! News, The Sydney Morning Herald and a variety of other publications. He is also the CEO and Founder of Infinity Squared Media LLC.

The topic is personal development.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Why people are such ass\u2014\u2013 on the internet
• Internet communication vs. real world communication
• Becoming desensitized to the internet
• How Manson came to his entrepreneurial path and how he was inspired by \u201cThe 4-Hour Workweek\u201d
• Location independence and how travel has changed Manson
• Consumerism in America

• The type of business Manson has developed and why it\u2019s been successful
• Why certain approaches to dating aren\u2019t emotionally healthy
