Moods are extremely contagious as when somebody comes home irritable or preoccupied or anxious or worried or tense, it radiates to the, it creates that vibe in the home.

And so there are all these ways in which we really bring work home, not to mention that

So many people are dealing with after-hour emails that they have to check in all the time.

So they're not even, they're still really at work.

They're still dealing with it.

They're still in that mindset.

They don't even get the evenings or the weekends to fully detach and to be somewhere else mentally, physically.

And for all of those reasons, we absolutely bring it home.

And then it really infects them.

I have an identical twin brother who's also a psychologist.

and also had a book out and he met Nir through his work with the company that he founded and put me in touch with Nir, who put me in touch with you.

Yeah.

Mind Over Grind is the solution.

In other words, part of why we get hijacked by work is that we are on autopilot all the time.

The workplace today is a very high pressure environment.

So we're on autopilot.

We just kind of put our head down and just get through the day.

We all wake up, we just get through the week kind of mentality.

And when you do that, you're grinding and you're not thinking well about how you can reduce the grind and be more sophisticated in how you manage yourself.

And so mind of a grind refers to the idea of if we use our mind correctly, then we can manage the grind.
