And it's just like, can you harness that for productivity?
I think a lot of extremely successful people are people who took their natural...
addiction and harnessed it for productivity into their business.
And that's why they're so successful.
They just became obsessed with one thing.
And it's a good question of whether we can actually guide that addiction or if it's just kind of pre-wired in itself.
I think it's true for myself.
Someone who's written books about money for 20 years, thought about money for 20 years.
My mom tells a story that when I was three...
I would sit there and count pennies.
I don't want to count seashells.
I don't want to count cards.
I don't want to count rocks.
I want to count money.
And so I think I've always had this disposition towards being fascinated with money.
Why?
I don't know, because I did it when I was three.
I did it before I could even think through it.
But I think everyone has their little thing.
It's always been fascinating to me.
