what are the differences between the people who survived the concentration camps and the people who didn't? And what he came up with is the people who survived had a purpose, right? They had something deeply, profoundly important to them that they were living for.

And he went on to create this school of thought around having a purpose in your life is a brilliant driving force for fulfillment and success and productivity and all sorts of things. And so those people who had that purpose, then that generated the willpower for them to survive. And so I think that's a really powerful anecdote.

The topic of owner mindset versus victim mindset, I think is really important. I'm planning to write an article about that soon. I've got it. I got the outline, the whole outline written. The owner mindset is, some people would call it stoic. It's that I can't really control what happens in the world, but I can control how I react to what happens in the world. I get to control my own emotions.

And I get to take action every day to make my life better. Whereas the victim mindset is the world is against me. There's too many structural conditions against me. I have no agency.

And we are not fighting it, but it should be a fight because what's happening is the stoic people have their flourishing community. And the victim mindset people have their flourishing community.

And the thing that I want to write in my article is the victim mindset people tend to be much more inclined and educated to talk about mental health. Whereas I think the owner mindset, the stoic mindset, I think is better for mental health.
