I focus on:

1) 80/20 analysis and re-clarifying priorities, and...
2) Getting out of my head and into my body. Movement, nature, even simply long walks, which are a favorite.

I think a lot of our misery is simply an animalistic anxiety from too much sitting.

Hope that helps!(less)

This episode is a bit different, and I am in the hot seat.

Dan Harris (@danharris) interviewed me for his show, the 10% Happier with Dan Harris podcast, and I thought it was worth sharing here.

We cover my most recent brain stimulation protocol, where I’ve landed on optimization and avoiding traps of self-help.

Quotes by Timothy Ferriss  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.”
Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek

“What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.”
Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek

“People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.”
Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek
