That's a perfect example of metacognition. That's a perfect example of being the master of yourself. And we actually can do that, but you've got to have knowledge. You have to be strong, but you also actually have to have knowledge. And that's why all this stuff matters. That's how I teach happiness, is happiness is really a process of understanding the science,

practicing habits that go along with the science and then teaching it to other people so you ingrain it in yourself. And that's anything that you want to do, anything you want to get better at. If you want to become a better golfer, learn about golf and golf and teach golf. You know, doctors, when they're becoming surgeons, they always say, watch one, do one, teach one.

That's how you become a surgeon. Anything in life actually follows that basic pattern, but you must have the knowledge such that the habits that you practice are not the habits that are just kind of

The replication crisis is a big problem in my field. Yeah. A lot of people make their careers on... If it's too good to be true, and grandma would have said, I mean, I can find you a study that shows that conjugal infidelity will bring happiness.

I know, exactly. And besides, studies show. And anyway, so... But the whole problem, and this is like, you're talking about evolutionary psychology all the time and biology all the time. And this is my stock and trade as a behavioral scientist. For everybody watching, if your grandma would hear this result and say, that's wrong, she's probably right.

move them beyond that yeah so that's actually what academics are really bad at that's so i have this column in the atlantic every thursday and i'm the retailer of academic stuff in this and so i'm not actually running the regressions or doing experiments myself i'm at the point in my career what i'm i'm looking i usually i will i'll survey a particular topic every week it's a different topic a different scientific topic in the happiness literature the you know the broader living better literature

and the neuroscience and behavioral science. And then the first part is here's what the science says. The second part is here's how you can use it. But you gotta practice it. And I'm usually 10 weeks ahead of my column and I'm practicing those things to see if it works. So I'm a lab. And this is the important thing. This is the important ethos.

You're not going to design experiments perfectly like a drug test in your own life because N equals one. And statistically, and there's no control group, but you are a lab. Start living like you're a lab. So learn something about this and set up an experiment in your life. And so you keep, yeah, I read an article and says that, you know,
