Either/Or

Finding Your Life Path, Solved

SOLVED with Mark Manson, 2 September 2026. The book comes up at 2 hr 22 min in.

The episode's structural backbone draws on Either/Or, which supplies the aesthetic stage (drifting, keeping every option open) and the ethical stage (rational, eyes-open commitment). The hosts detail Judge William's argument to 'choose choice itself'—making one's implicit decisions conscious and explicit—and trace how Kierkegaard contrasts the two stages as the foundation of his theory of finding a meaningful life path.
