And it keeps us doing this all the time.

And you don't even know.

It's funny because...

People ask all the time about AI.

How will AI affect happiness?

And the answer is, well, somebody might use it to do left brain tasks and free up their time to go spend it in their relationships in the right side of their brain.

But a lot of people are using it as their friend, lover, or therapist, which is exactly wrong.

Look, there's one thing in life you can't simulate, which is meaning.

That's what this whole new book is about is actually how to live in a way that you open up the right hemisphere of your brain so you can actually get that back.

But as far as I'm concerned, that's the big happiness crisis of our time.

It does because your brain knows the difference.

The right side of your brain is what we use for the fundamental questions, the most mysterious questions in life.

So think about it this way.

The left side of your brain deals with complications, which are things that are hard to figure out, but once you do, they're static.

The right side of your brain is complex issues, which is things that are pretty easy to understand, but you can't solve the problems.

You can only live with them.

My marriage is unbelievably complex, not complicated.

There's no hack.

There's no solution to my marriage.

I mean, I've been married 34 years, Mike.
