And now what I'm seeing in the wellness space, which I think people need to be super careful about, is are you basically like creating an elevator? for wellness, where you're outsourcing all of the work to a particular protocol or a particular regimen or a particular thing. And I'm going to do it this way, this way, this way. And I'm all for that stuff. I think that that stuff is healthy.

And that's why I kind of like your term of like a PSA, but just be a little bit careful about what are you doing here? Because oftentimes what I end up seeing is that when people are like so focused on optimization and productivity, they like kind of lose sight of like, like, you know, they lose sight of the big picture very easily.

And they're trying to optimize, they're trying to harness their dopamine, maximize their dopamine, boost their motivation in a particular direction. And in doing so, all they're trying to do, they're not really gaining control over themselves. They're just using this instrument like in a different way.

They're like taking a donkey and like putting it down a particular track, but they're still not in control of the donkey. I don't know if that kind of makes sense.

So what I would say is that for all the stuff that you're trying to optimize in your life, I would say go a little bit deeper and ask yourself, why do you want to optimize this? What is the end goal for you? And what are you, if I could wave a magic wand and give you the perfect protocol where you could like, what would your life look like? What are you really looking for? Right? What's the end?

So if I want to make more money or I want to be more successful, like what's the point of that? What is the end dissatisfaction? that you are trying to fix by fixing your life. And then what you need to do is ask yourself, what makes this so dissatisfying to me? Why is this so important to me? I think that's really the important question.

Because if you want to ask, like, you know, you asked, like, well, how did I go to India? And the biggest thing, I mean, I'm still the same guy, like whether I failed out of college or I'm teaching or whatever, like faculty at Harvard Medical School, whatever. I'm still the same dude. And the biggest difference for me is I started accepting what I was unhappy about.
