Yeah.

So to quickly kind of summarize what you were just describing, like, you know, I was kind of this vagabond nomad,

happy-go-lucky guy living in Argentina, living in Thailand, running a blog, not a whole lot of cares in the world, right?

And with some dreams and aspirations of becoming a writer and kind of revolutionizing the personal development space and self-help space.

And

And what happened when The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck came out is that basically all of the dreams that I had had up until, say, age 30 came true within about a six-month period of time.

Wow.

And at first, it was absolutely amazing, right?

It's like, all right, let's crack the champagne open.

Let's take a trip, take the wife to Paris.

Let's really celebrate and enjoy this.

But...

Very quickly, I'd say within a month or two, a pretty deep depression started to set in.

And what made it worse was that I wasn't expecting it.

I was like struggling to get out of bed every morning.

And I'm sitting there, I'm telling myself, I'm like, this is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I'm killing it.

I'm like, my book is everywhere.

I'm getting invited to all these amazing places.

Six countries.
