We seem to be suffering from a fatal case of self-obsession.
You see it everywhere. The Enhanced Games. The looksmaxxing craze. The endless menu of protocols we’ve convinced ourselves will finally fill the hole. We have every comfort and convenience at our fingertips. And yet nearly half of us feel emotionally disconnected, lonelier than ever. Somehow, with all of it, we feel worse.
So I want to talk through a reframe I’ve been sitting with. If the whole culture insists on optimizing everything, then fine – let’s optimize for the thing that actually matters. Call it fulfillment maxxing. The opposite of looksmaxxing. Less me, me, me. A little more meaning.
Underneath all of it is this: your attention is just about all you’ve got. Where you put it shapes your present and your future – and even how you see your past. Wherever you are right now, my hope is this gives you somewhere to start. Today. With one small thing.
In this one:
- The Comfort Crisis & The Hedonic Treadmill
- Looksmaxxing, The Enhanced Games & The Self-Obsession Underneath
- The Three P’s vs. The Three Macronutrients Of Happiness
- Contrary Action & The Quiet Magic Of Momentum
- Discomfort As The Price Of A Meaningful Life
- Faith, Family, Friends & Meaningful Work
- Why The Path Of Least Resistance Is Volunteering For The Most
- Your Attention As The Only Currency That Really Counts
For those who prefer a visual experience, the conversation is available on YouTube. As always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
