I don't want my emotions being shifted in a direction that is contrary to my goals right before I go to bed. I am at a typically high velocity level throughout the day, starting with physical stuff and exercise to the cognitive stuff and the politicking and the science talks and all that stuff.

When I'm finally done going through my email at night, I want like a good hour of just total mindless vegetation. And it puts me in a wonderfully serene state to then slide into bed, jump into that mental time travel machine, like do the fantasizing or savoring, and then puts me to sleep. And so I really value technology there for helping me do that. And I think that is the counterpoint.

to having this high velocity kind of experience. I will often, when I teach, like sometimes I'll teach for like three hours. So it's equivalent to what we're doing right now. It is so unbelievably engaging and rewarding. And like, this is why I got into this business.

You're having great conversations and you're hopefully like changing the way people think about things, getting them to discover interest, all that good stuff. couple hours later when I come home, first of all, I need a little refractory period to switch out of work life into home life, which can often be challenging on the personal front because like my kids are just waiting there.

Well, my youngest kid is waiting there. My oldest kid is now in her room doing her own thing. But they want to play right away and I need some time just to decompress. But then once I do, I've got to lean further into that state. And so that's That is shifting and understanding how to shift. That's a different kind of shift.

But it is all about shifting our states to meet our goals and trying to understand how to do that well. And I think that is the subtext to everything that we are talking about here.

And there's actually a framework to help people do this that I really like. And it's interesting because you mentioned the military earlier. And there's a... a wonderful corollary.
