That I choose to eat well, not for me, though I may get benefits from it as an unintended byproduct. I choose to eat well so that I can be a better friend to you. I choose to eat well so that I can be a better parent to my kids so I'm less grumpy and less agitated. And to think of that, I think, as an act of service. Because for me, I am perfectly comfortable disappointing myself.

Like if I wake up early, like before, you know, whatever my calendar says I have to do at the beginning of the day. And I was like, and I wake up, let's say I wake up two hours before my alarm.

Right? I'm like, oh. I could totally work out right now. I have excessive time to work out.

I'll just sit in bed and do the crossword puzzle. And I'm fine with that. I suffer no guilt. I'm just like, ah, shit. And then I go about my day. But if I'm meeting someone early to work out before my day starts, I'll set the alarm, I'll be ready, and I will not disappoint them.

Well, illness starts with I. Wellness starts with a we. Oh, yeah, yeah. Isn't that true? And so I think the correlation, and this is the thing that drives me nuts when we think about things like innovation or we think about things like health, is we make it a very I thing. You have to get healthy. You have to take a multivitamin. You have to exercise. You have to sleep.

But we don't make it about a we. And you know the data better than I do that when there's a group of people who are overweight and one of them decides to go on a diet, the disproportionately high number of them will decide to go on a diet. If there's a group of smokers and one of them says, I'm gonna stop smoking, a disproportionately high number of them. Getting healthy is a team sport.

So it raises the question, Because clearly we're failing as a people, as a nation, at doing all the things you recommend. Because most of the things you recommend, at the high level, what you recommend is a lot of work, right? It can be or not. It's just what you set up for yourself. But at a functional level, a lot of the stuff that you recommend is not difficult, not expensive, and pretty basic.
