Tim Ferriss

I was like, you know what?

The only thing I know how to do that gets me out of my head is train under imminent threat of being kicked or punched in the face.

Like, I am not allowed to daydream under those circumstances.

So I'm just gonna train hours a day.

And that's what I ended up doing.

And ultimately, everything was fine.

Like, there was a... There were some reasons for me getting as deep into that hole as I did.

Not all my fault.

And much later, this is probably only ten years ago, I wrote a post called, Some Practical Thoughts on Suicide.

And like, if anyone's feeling...

really dark, like, go read that post.

Like, it has saved hundreds of lives, and it doesn't sugarcoat anything.

The reason I wrote that is I was at an event in San Francisco at the time, being interviewed on stage.

I got off, and a couple people came over, and there was a small circle around me.

They wanted a book signed and things like that.

And this really nice guy, you know, dressed up in a suit and everything for the event,

gave me this book and he's like, oh, yeah, I just want you to sign this for my brother.

And I was like, sure, no problem.

What would you like me to say to your brother?

And he just kind of froze.
