Episode 1109: [Part 2] A Brief History of Romantic Love and Why It Kind of Sucks by Mark Manson on the Challenges of Love Mark Manson was a full-time professional dating coach for men from 2008 until 2011. Sick of the industry, he wrote his first book, Models: Attract Women Through Honesty, and changed the name and focus of his business to address broader self-development topics for men.
