Because we have such an access to information, not all that good, we're constantly second guessing ourselves and wondering whether the decisions we've made are the right ones or whether we have a disease or some sort of like whatever, whether we're feeding our children the right things, whether we're in the right jobs.

It's just too much.

Yeah.

And it's very hard to tell someone you just need to simplify things.

Like I work with people in their early 20s who feel overwhelmed and stressed by the need to make content all the time.

Yeah.

And I'm like, ugh.

Whereas when I was in my 20s, the focus was, well, how do I enjoy my life?

Which I think is what your 20s are for.

But because we have this society of like –

showing off and like high curation.

I think for young people, especially there is this idea that you're supposed to have a wonderful life that you enjoy all the time.

And it's something I say constantly, whether it's in life or in jobs, like I'm very lucky to have a life and a job that I love.

All that came at a cost.

All that came through really hard work to make it that way.

But also I never signed a contract.

that said, I hereby declare that my job will always be fun, it will always provide great value to the world and I will always feel like I'm in my flow state, sign A London.

What is that idea that we're supposed to like be so optimised and so in our flow and like so creating work that has value and meaning?

No, that's stressing us all out.

Sometimes you can just try to exist in the world.
