But then you go, you know, maybe that mean bitch in my head can just shut up. I'd like to be happy. For me, I didn't know there was anything from the neck down that had any meaningfulness. So I went through and I learned each of the emotional states. I did a whole bunch of yoga. I've traveled around the world and I've studied in monasteries and with different leaders of lineages.

And the results have been profound because it's helped me to build at least a portion of the operating system for our consciousness. So there was no manual for this operating system. So now we at least have portions of the manual. All of my books are a part of it, depending on what your goal is. And heavily meditated is the most important. It contains all the stuff I couldn't talk about.

15 or 20 years ago, back when I was starting the biohacking movement, if I'd have brought this stuff out, then people would have said there's no credibility, putting butter in coffee, and earthing and putting a laser on your brain to change your car that was edgy enough. But biohacking is now a global force. It's a $63 billion industry, and I never trademarked the term.

I could have, but I didn't because I wanted it to be a movement. And as a result, it's a new word in the English language. In 2016, Webster's added it, and my name's in the online dictionary. Like, what? How did I go from being a fat computer hacker? Well, because I'm curious and because I really would like to not suffer.

And I'd like to be able to show up at any moment, any time at my full power to do what I'm here to do. And I was not motivated by this in my 20s and my 20s. I was like, I want to be happy. Didn't recognize how stressed or anxious I was. Like, I'll try being famous. I'm in Entrepreneur Magazine in a double extra large t-shirt as the first guy to sell anything over the internet.

And, you know, I got 15 minutes of happiness out of that. Like, that doesn't work. Fame's no good. Like, I'll try getting married so I'm not lonely all the time. That didn't work. I got divorced before I was 30 or around when I was 30. I'm like, I'll try being rich. Made $6 million when I was 26, pre-Biden dollars. That was actually real money back then. I lost it when I was 28.

And when I had $6 million, I looked at another guy at the same tech company and I said, I'll be happy when I have 10. And I just realized, man, happiness is up to me. And now my goal... which is written up in heavily meditated, the first step of all this is learn how to feel empathy for others.

But that's not enough because if you just feel everyone else's pain, go to McDonald's and feel empathy for everyone there. You'll just feel like crap all day. You don't want to pick that stuff up. The step above that is compassion. So I want to teach my body, my nervous system to automatically wish other people well, even people who are trying to harm me. So that I don't become reactive to them.
