Now, maybe a book ends, and then there's a little period of time, but you're probably then creating something else.

I mean, I read your book recently, and I mean, you've got a thousand irons in the fire, right?

It's not like you finish it, and you're like, done.

You're like, okay, that's done, but I still, I create, so I'm over here.

It's part of why we're obsessed with habits, because we want it to become easy.

It's hard to keep making the right choices in life.

It's effortful.

And we want that effort to go away.

We would just like to program the robot to just do all the right things from here on out.

But we are not robots.

Yeah, I think you're right.

It is hard to know what we really want.

Mm-hmm.

It's hard to tell, like, why do I want this or why do I want that?

And so all we can do is make our best guess at what's important to us.

But the challenge that we often face is,

is what do I want most versus what do I want now?

And that fundamental question is a real way of orienting back towards meaning again and again.

What do I want most?

Now, the challenge here is that that's sort of desire versus value conflict.
