So I would say one of the most important things that has basically helped 99% of people I've worked with is paying attention to how you've been conditioned versus who you are. So one of the biggest sources of frustration is that we strive for things that were implanted within us. They're not really what we want.

And so then when we try to go for them, our motivation is lacking, our productivity is lacking, our focus is lacking. And then what happens is we try to biohack, brain hack, life hack ourselves, optimize our nutrition, start taking supplements to fulfill that goal and increase our motivation.

Whereas I oftentimes find that like the best way to gain motivation is to really understand truly who you are and what was implanted within you. And if you can separate those two things and start to craft a life based on who you really are and what you want, and that can even mean changing certain aspects of yourself.

But even when we talk about changing the self, are we changing the self to make myself happy? Are we changing the self to make society happy? My parents happy? My spouse happy? So really starting with that, I think, is like the most important thing that leads to lifelong changes. And the best example that I can give you is I had a patient come into my office who was anxious about getting fired.

Because they were like, it's so stressful and I know I'm smart. Sometimes I do a good job, but sometimes like people take credit for my work and like I'm terrified that I'm going to get fired. Right. So they're like, help me fix the anxiety. And so we did this kind of work. And like 18 months later, they quit. I really got worried about this.

And I even talked to some of my mentors and like supervisors because 30 percent of my patients will make a career change within about 18 months of like coming into my office. And I started to wonder, am I biasing them? Am I somehow influencing them, pushing them in some way? Am I like encouraging them to do this? Am I screwing them up, basically? Am I like adding my own values?

And there's a lot of data to support that, right? Because when you choose a career at the age of 18, if you go to university, like you don't really know what you want. You have no idea. And then you start building up this life out of what other people tell you you should be. No wonder you're not motivated towards it because you don't really want it.

Yeah, I see that with tons of high performing people. I've seen it in medical students, too. So like, you know, when I'm mentoring people who are applying to med school or applying to residency, they'll have all this like, oh, I want to help people. You don't need to train for eight years to help people. You can go work in a soup kitchen today.
