Absolutely great connection.
I think hustling, grinding your way to world class is a deeply toxic belief.
Let's go to the science.
If you look, for example, at the work of the Energy Project, they have found the most productive people are actually like sprinters versus marathoners.
The research actually shows the most productive people work in intense bursts of elite performance.
And guess what they do after that?
rest and recover.
And you're a scientist for sure.
You know that in rest, non-working, in rest and recovery and true recreation, that is when
memories are crystallized.
That is when new connections are formed that solve great problems.
We know that there's a mechanism when you sleep where the brain almost washes itself.
So rest is not a luxury.
Rest is a necessity.
And with the rest and recovery, you're going to do even better work.
And then the final thing I'd say is I don't want anyone to think the wealth money can't buy is about
hustling and grinding.
That's the whole idea of the eight forms of wealth, right?
The fourth form of wealth is craft.
That's all about productivity, pushing magic into the marketplace, finding meaning in your work.
