There are some quite helpful things in the book that I'm going to get to shortly.

The fact, though, that the algorithm is serving up a lot of self-help content to you kind of does say something about you because I'm looking at it.

Yes.

Well, I think you were looking for it.

Yes.

You know what I mean?

Exactly.

You asked me before the interview to keep an eye on your posture.

Oh, OK.

I'll keep an eye on it for I got your back.

You do, however, and this this hits close to home for me in the preface to the book.

You do take some pot shots at my business, which is meditation.

I'm going to quote you back to you again.

Oh, no, I don't know.

I don't know about you, but if it gets to the point that someone is telling me I just need to calm down and focus on my breathing of all mundane things.

I know that something in my life must have gone terribly wrong.

Meditation is, I mean, it's just so sad.

What's your beef?

So the problem isn't that every time you sit down to meditate, you're bombarded by too many random thoughts.

The problem is that there's one very salient thought that comes up in your mind when you're meditating, which is you're only doing this because you're so fucked up right now.
