And what does it mean to be excellent?

And before I had this experience, I thought that I knew what depression or anxiety or OCD was.

And it's as if you look across a river and you see people on the other side of the river and you're like, oh, I can see what they're going through.

I get it.

But it wasn't until I myself was on the other side of the river that I actually had any idea what it meant to be depressed, what it meant to be anxious.

And it really did lead to like a reevaluating of kind of the basic principles that I think and that I write about.

And it's not to say that the first two books aren't defensible.

The way that I like to talk about it is those books are for when everything is clicking and everything is going well.

Groundedness is much more about what's the foundation that is going to hold you not only when things are going well, but also when things aren't.

And what's funny is because it recently came out, everyone thinks it's a pandemic book.

So they think I wrote this book because we're all going through this pandemic and outside of people in book publishing, that makes sense.

But the truth is it takes like three to four years to publish a book.

So the manuscript was mostly done before the pandemic.

And I think what the pandemic has shown is that, yes, while we experience these things differently, suffering is universal and anxiety is universal and it ebbs and flows for different folks at different times of their lives.

And yet it is part of the human experience.

Yeah, I'm glad that you asked, and I wasn't sure.

I didn't want to go in this direction because it can take time to explain, but let's do it because I think it's important.

So as you pointed out, OCD is often portrayed in movies and books as hyper-organization or being a neat freak or having to have everything perfectly in order.

And while OCD can manifest that way, that's certainly not the only way it manifests.

And that's probably not even clinical OCD.
