Introducing More Than a Feeling
Today we’re sharing an episode of a new show from Ten Percent Happier called More Than a Feeling. It dives into the confusing, exhilarating, and messy world of human emotions — and how to make sense of them. Why do we have emotions and how much should we pay attention to them on any given day? Can we learn to skillfully choose which emotions to listen to and which ones to just let move on by?
In More Than A Feeling, host Saleem Reshamwala goes on a real life quest to find the answers to these questions. He’ll experiment with neuroscientists, dive into stories with historians and philosophers, and document how musicians, therapists, hairdressers and airplane pilots work with emotions.
In this More Than A Feeling episode, called Get Me Out of Here, OMNH host Mark Pagán goes deep on one emotion: fear. Specifically, his own fear of riding the New York City subway. And we follow along for the (actual) ride.

Bonus: Hug Me Like Uncle Phil
Throughout the four years of making Other Men Need Help, we’ve only had one sobbing, physical moment during an interview. In today’s bonus episode, following an unexpected in-flight experience, Mark returns to a tender moment recorded in 2017 prompted by a TV patriarch that deserves canonization, and checks in to see if it still resonates.

Customer Reviews
Tries too hard?
I like the subject matter and production but the host can be annoying. I just don’t feel like he’s pulling off the goofy quirky thing. It comes off as trying too hard and is grating. Humor is very subjective and so it’s risky. The show would be much better if he relaxed into the topic and tried less to be an entertainer.
8,000 stars!!!
Mark Pagán is letting us explore all of the fears, joys, and vulnerabilities of the male experience with beautiful storytelling, empathy, and humor. He enters his topics heart first. This podcast is a hug and a service to every man or anyone who has been confused by, or frustrated or in love with one.
I am obsessed 😍
I have loved every episode of this podcast. It really has put so many words to my thoughts about male friendship and allowed me to have conversations with my friends. I’ve introduced this to a couple of my friends and will keep telling more people.
