So you can kind of say that like everyone, you and I together today are struggling with stress and burnout in some capacity.

And even in my crowded waiting room, I would notice that there's this stress paradox, which is this idea that people are all suffering with stress.

Of course we are.

We're just regular people living in this world and at this time in life.

But when I would notice that in my waiting room, no one was talking to each other.

I mean, talked about the statistics, right?

Like 70 to 74% of people in the UK, one study showed 90% of people.

So it's like, we're all facing stress and burnout, but the paradox is that it's like a universal thing that's happening and yet we are completely isolated.

Right.

So you can kind of say that like everyone, you and I together today are struggling with stress and burnout in some capacity.

in the experience, which is wild.

And I started noticing that like another aha moment was on a much bigger scale when I started giving talks.

Of course we are.

We're just regular people living in this world and at this time in life.

But when I would notice that in my waiting room, no one was talking to each other.

So when I started speaking to audiences of like a thousand, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, then I noticed like, oh my God, this stress paradox and the stress and burnout that people are feeling that I would see one-on-one in the waiting room when you see patients.

So it's like, we're all facing stress and burnout, but the paradox is that it's like a universal thing that's happening and yet we are completely isolated

in the experience, which is wild.

And I started noticing that like another aha moment was on a much bigger scale when I started giving talks.

It was happening on like this huge scale.
