and not, you know, kind of moderate, not too extreme, they're not only not harmful, they're creating all sorts of restorative and anti-aging effects in the cell. And you write about that so well in your book. And that's just, we so easily forget like, oh, we could use this for good.

We can actually do things like HIIT or sauna or cold exposure and be conditioning our nervous system, not just our cardiovascular system, but our actual emotional and physiological stress response can get conditioned.

I think it's important to start where you did, which is naming. We're in a different era. We're in a different place. We have our personal dramas. We're trying to manage the inherent stress of life and being a human in this modern world. And then on top of that, we do have this layer of more existential stressors, of global stressors, climate change, war.

famine, drought, you know, the climate events that are going to becoming more and more frequent. And so how does our human mind deal with all of that at once? we're not quite well equipped, but we're not that far off from being able to kind of adopt a new mindset for this new era and strategies.

Uncertainty of the future, volatile uncertainty, meaning not just the inherent uncertainty that we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but just the dramatic shifts that we're going to see based on climate and politics and how we create societies as humans. So the ability to simply be comfortable with not knowing is now a core survival skill. And we're all different.
