And I've been reading all these studies on what we now know about aging. And I was like, well, wait a minute, if all this stuff, I mean like 5,000 papers said, I should be able to do this. But nobody ever, though common perception wasn't as possible. But that book is written as a diary. Why is it written as a diary? In a sense, like it goes day by day through that season.

It's because the hardest challenge I have with our clients, really with anybody who I'm talking peak performance with, is peak performance is exactly what you just said, Tommy. It's compound interest. You get a little bit farther ahead today, a little bit farther ahead tomorrow. Flow massively amplifies it. We found that people can get into a couple microflow and maybe a macroflow state a day.

You've got three 90-minute blocks where you're 500% more productive than you normally are and that Sure. Maybe it's like one extra thing you're getting done on your to-do list today. But like you get through a week of that, it's five extra things that you've done that the next guy hasn't done. I always tell people that all this stuff is like, it's a little bit at a time, but if I'm doing...

five extra things a week right it's one a day i'm getting and five a week it's 20 a month now multiply it out by a year right it's why sometimes i remember when i first sort of like came into like the peak performance space and you'd meet top performers and you'd see what like in a year they would like we'd start at the same place and they would be like 17 miles ahead of me and i was like how the hell what is it's compound interest

It's just, it's right. So that's, I mean, that's the other reason, like, why do I stick by the clear goals list? Why am I always going to like walk my dog and get my exercise and get my seven, eight hours? It's all that stuff. Cause ultimately I, you know, Stuart Brand wants to only enduring happiness is the satisfaction of a job well done.

And I kind of like, I agree, like long-term what sticks with me, right? What sticks with me? Like, what are the things I'm deeply proud, proudest of? I'm deeply proud of my marriage. Been married for 20 years. It's fucking hard to be married for 20 years. That was a sort of a, there were years where it was a daily struggle to stay in that marriage and make it work.

I'm really proud of the 14 books. Each one of those took a year to three years to like whatever. Like those are the things I'm really proud of. All the like little bits. Like when I work, I work with an editor and we'll do a marathon session. I'll be like, oh, I've got another chapter, but we've been working for like four hours. You know, let's call it.

We should be like, you're not going to remember this later. Like this is, you're not even going to know this tomorrow. You're not even going to remember that we put an extra half an hour in and you felt shitty. You're just going to remember that you've got the work done. Right. Right.

Do you care about the shitty feeling that's only temporary or do you want the, and I'm like, okay, yeah, well, of course we're going to put the extra half an hour in. It's not even, it's a no brainer. Like once you, and I think most people are this way. They just don't know how to weigh their choices properly based on their actual happiness. I'll give you another example.

This is a exercise I do when I train people in peak performance aging and it shocks me. So one of the things I do is I make people write down their 10 favorite feelings on a Not your favorite activities, your favorite feelings, because you get slightly different things. So I'll give you an example.
