But was there a moment when you really realized that there was a lot of potential on offer for you that you were not accessing because of how distracted you were?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you refer to how like a lot of us know those kind of big overarching goals.

Not all of us, but many of us are kind of know what we essentially want from life.

But we suck at reverse engineering and actually making a plan for it that we can actually stick to and follow through on.

Any other thoughts or advice there?

I mean, in terms of time blocking, that's that you already mentioned.

Yeah.

Why does that suck, by the way?

Feels like...

between your last two books, they really complement each other and go hand in hand.

To examine who you are and the beliefs that constitute so much of what we think we want in life, and then to realign with who we are, what our values are, and then to actually follow through with that and learn how to do that.

What's the biggest thing that you hope somebody reading your book, listening to this conversation would really like take home in their life?

On the first note, my buddy Peter Krohn has this good saying, self-righteousness is the poor man's version of self-worth.

You know?

Is there anything that we haven't touched on today that you feel like is essential to add in the context of this conversation?

One thing I feel called to bring back up, just because we've had on a lot of cognitive scientists, psychologists, consciousness researchers, examining from many different lenses and disciplines how we do not see reality as it is.

I think for many people it can be destabilizing.
