So either a radical change or really impressive accomplishment.

will deliver me a deep life.

So I need to like move to an island or, you know, win this major award.

And then, and then I will have a deep life.

Right.

And I argue that doesn't work.

Right.

No singular achievement is actually, it doesn't last.

You're, you're, that's not going to work.

You get a lot of examples.

They said the alternative notion is the lifestyle centric approach that obviously is going to be the right approach.

Cause I talk about all the time in the show where,

Where you say, no, no, no, actually what generates your subjective experience of your life is like all the aspects of your day.

Like what is your daily life like?

Like all the aspects of your life.

And so what you really need to do is engineer your lifestyle so that every single day is producing depth.

It's your daily lifestyle, not any singular event that really determines what your life is like.

So you need to think about re-engineering all the aspects of your lifestyle, not just pursuing a single sort of like major change or accomplishment.

But there's these subtleties because the way my brain works is like the definition of the deep life is too much overlapping the definition of the lifestyle-centric approach to the deep life.

And I need good separation.
