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.

This is the deep life.

These are two potential ways to pursue it.

This is the better way.

But the definition of the deep life I was using, and I was using like an old definition I'd written about five years ago, was a little process-oriented itself.

Amplify this, reduce that.

Anyway, so that's like the type of thing.

This is the type of thing I really care about is these little details about how the pieces fit together.

You get that just right.
