Because all the email that I get, all the email that you get is from young people in their 20s. How do I fall in love and stay in love? How do I find a job that's actually going to give me fulfillment? How do I have the life that I want to have because I have this hollowness in my life? It's like one, two, three. This is what we talk about. Here's the paradox. Here's the hell of it.

If you arrive, it's a problem. Yeah, right. Because that's the arrival fallacy that we come up with. So a lot of people will say, why do all diets fail? Because they basically do. 95% of diets fail insofar as at one year after the inception of a diet, people weigh more than they did at the beginning of the diet. This is before the GLP-1 drugs, et cetera, et cetera. Why?

The reward for actually hitting your goal is you never get to eat what you like ever again for the rest of your life. Congratulations. That's why 30% of stringent diets lead to eating disorders. Because people are like, I want more progress. And so they keep making progress.
