Now I feel like I have meaning and purpose and like y'all should do it too.

It doesn't mean that I'm magical or I'm special or I'm like unique in some way.

It just means that I sort of went through more of an Eastern path.

But like Frankel literally laid this stuff out.

So not only did I go through this stuff, what I saw as a psychiatrist in like 2018 was that this kind of problem is increasing.

People are struggling to find meaning in life.

This is one of the reasons that, you know, I had a choice between opening a clinic or developing a coaching program.

Reason I chose the coaching program, so in our pilot study of our coaching program, I think 1,493 people, maybe 39, it could be a little bit off.

That was our pilot study on almost 1,500 people.

We found a 58% increase in purpose and direction in life.

This is the variable that we were going for, right?

We want to help people find their meaning and their direction.

So our pilot study was also looking at unhealthy technology use.

And what we found is that it improved like depression and anxiety by 20 to 30%, but that's not what we were trying to do.

We developed a program to help people find meaning and direction in life.

And once you have meaning and direction in life, the technology use and the lateralizing behavior goes down on its own.

So in today's video, we've equipped you with some of the big picture concepts, a balance between actions, thoughts, and feelings, a sinusoidal rhythm in life,

dereflection, paradoxical intention, right?

This is how to solve existential depression, or this is what the data suggests, or these are what some of these people suggest, right?

That's what works.
