All right, we're getting back to life advice.

One thing that I try to live by, especially nowadays, and since I wrote the book, I've been thinking more and more about this, is... How do I want to live a memorable life? You know, I think if we go back to like the pandemic, right, how many people have memories from that period, aside from the trauma of being, you know, locked up and seeing people die and.

all this stuff um i think it's like one of these things where we were stuck inside looking at screens all day doing the same thing with the same people and so i don't remember much from that in terms of those good memories that you're talking about right You know, when I was growing up, my parents worked really hard for us and, you know, we went on some vacations, but not very often.

And I really try to do now vacations to interesting places as much as possible with my family, because like, those are the things that you remember, right? So I really do think about what's going to be like something that's memorable and then just do it even if it's a pain in the ass because the experiencing self will suffer for that.

But the remembering self will be like, yes, I'm so glad I did that.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's one of these things where if you have, like, people who you've gone through, since you said it, I'll just say, since you've gone through shit with someone, and it's like, that's a bonding experience often, you know? I mean, that can really bring you together. I like to say it's like there's no point in suffering unless you get a story out of it. So...

In the book, I talk about the power of the way we communicate with others and how that shapes our memories. And so I had this near-death experience, at least that's how I remember it, on this paddleboard where just everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong almost immediately.

So many mistakes were made and ended up at some point just basically away from my board, pinned in a current in this corner, not a super good swimmer. And my friend who came with me, Randy, who's a computational neuroscientist and He had just been pushed down past me and so he couldn't even see me. And I'm just like, if I die here, you know, I mean, no one's around. It's like you just die alone.
