These are the people who, despite sweat and toil and they work really hard.

And if you guys look in the world today, you may notice that some very, very wealthy and successful people do not appear to be happy, content or decent human beings.

Right.

Shocking.

So this is where one of the key things that we have to understand is if you want to break out of existential depression, you need to have some balance between action, feeling and thinking.

OK, and I know it sounds like you're all going to say, but how do I do that?

So this is just big principle, big picture.

We're going to get to little things later.

So the first thing that I would say is just look at your life.

Do you spend a lot of time thinking?

Do you spend a lot of time feeling?

Do you spend a lot of time doing?

And whichever one of these is out of balance is something that you should lean into, right?

So if you spend all of your time thinking, and this is where people get really paralyzed, they think, oh, like you need to do more.

Now, here's the problem that happens if you're a thinker.

If I tell you you need to do more, you want to find the right thing to do.

What is the right thing to do?

It doesn't matter.

This is what we learn from these explorations of existential depression.

See, what we need to do is activate your body.
