There are the priorities we say we have, and there are the priorities our actions show we have.

And oftentimes there's a big gap between those two things.

And your life improves alongside your ability to close that gap.

But you cannot close it until you hold your feet to the fire enough, look yourself in the mirror to acknowledge that it exists in the first place.

The obvious solution definitely would have been everybody to shift to the much, much nicer climate.

You know, look, I mean, you know this, like the gravity of where you live and the communities you build there is very real.

And so for my parents in particular, they've lived in Boston since 1995.

All the communities, all the circles of their friends, his career, he's been at Harvard for 25 years.

It becomes difficult to uproot for that reason.

We had much less gravity built up where we were.

And so while it was hard to move to the cold, and I certainly regret it this time of year, it was the best decision we ever made.

So the five types of wealth, think of as a new scoreboard, a new way to measure your life with the idea being that when you measure the right things, you can actually take the right actions to create your desired outcomes.

The five types of wealth as I lay them out are time wealth,

Social wealth, mental wealth, physical wealth, and financial wealth.

And we can dig into what each of those are, but just on a very surface level, time wealth is about freedom to choose how you spend your time, where you spend it, who you spend it with, when you trade it for other things.

It's about that awareness of time as your most precious asset.

Social wealth is about your relationships, those few deep close bonds, but also your connection to circles that extend beyond the self, whether through local, regional communities, spiritual networks and communities, et cetera.

Mental wealth is about purpose and growth and also about rituals to create space, the space necessary to wrestle with some of the bigger picture, maybe more unanswerable questions of life, whether through relationships,

spirituality, religion, meditation, solitude, etc.

Physical wealth is all about your health and vitality.
