So there's so many directions this could go in. So here's the experiment I set up. I picked five very different kinds of meditations. And I found recordings that were done by professional meditation teachers. A lot of them were actually from the University of California, San Diego.

They have a mindfulness center, and they've uploaded a bunch of their mindfulness training and meditation, guided meditations online. So what I did was I picked five different meditations, and each one was 10 minutes each.

I wanted it to be less than an hour. I really wanted people going to this experiment that they wouldn't have to spend more than an hour meditating at max. So that was just a choice I made to say, let's try to make this experiment one hour long. And I want to put a bunch of different meditations in there. And in my opinion, five minutes is too short. And 20 minutes is quite long.

And 20 minutes is quite long.

And actually, a lot of the meditations that I found online with guided meditations were about 10 minutes each. So it just fit in really well to do. Let's do 10 minute meditations. And for an hour, five should be plenty. So, so in reality, there was 50 minutes of meditation, but I had them do a lot of questionnaire answering and, and, and there was a bit of an intro.

So the total experience was one hour long start to finish.

That's right. Yep. So so part part of this was so this this kind of gets into some problems with the study, which we'll talk about later with the data and what this means and how to interpret it.

But yes, this was mostly David's fans, people who are very familiar with David because they're part of they were originally part of the listeners of this podcast and they joined this new cool tools club as well. And so this is kind of how the funnel of people came in. But I essentially I just emailed the club and I said, hey, I've created this course. It's one hour long.

So if you've got an hour to spend, please take this course out and try this experiment with me. And there was about how many people that I have? Let me look at that numbers again. We had a total number of 60 people who joined. Wow. And of those 60 people, and we'll get into these numbers more, 35 of them actually completed the whole thing. And 25 dropped out.

So we have 35 points of data of people who went through this process.

Uh... No, I could certainly. Well, I don't know if I can actually. The app is anonymous, so I don't think I can reverse. No, I wouldn't have a way to reach out, actually.
