You're starting to see very extreme versions of it.

But then you have people taking it to really big extremes like taking drugs for conditions they don't have like prediabetes or a heart disease or people wearing hearing aids when they're not hard of hearing because they think it increases their alertness. All sorts of things. And then you have people, these men. Brian Johnson is someone who is getting blood infusions from his 18-year-old son.

I've got a pretty bare shelf in the bathroom, and I don't feel tempted to try products, supplements, things like that. I know what I like, and I'm not as easily seducible as maybe I was before. I've given up that hope, I guess.

Yes, it really is for my daughters. And I think that was something I realized in the writing of this book because they are coming into their adolescence now and facing all these pressures. And, you know, on some levels, it's really fun, right? And on some levels, it's scary. Like, I don't want them... to waste time or energy on things that I think aren't worth their time or energy.

But I know they will because that's part of modern womanhood. Not even modern womanhood as that brilliant book that we've talked about has shown us. But I want them to be a little bit smarter about it and understand where these things come from and be a little savvy about And I want them to feel like they have a little bit of control and that they're not just sitting ducks for all these marketers.

I guess that's what I would hope for for them. I don't expect them to be able to withstand these forces. They're just sort of too big and too powerful. Yeah. But yeah, I guess I would like for this generation to have some awareness that they don't have to just improve themselves every day. They can be a little bit more satisfied with what they've already got.
