In this episode, I provide an argument for why an autopilot approach to life (always choosing the default, easiest choices) generally doesn’t work. I start with the example of health, and then compare the decline of society’s physical health (particularly metabolic health) to cognitive and emotional struggles many face today in our current digital landscape.
Then I move on to 5 things I am loving now — lightening the mood considerably!
Mentioned on the ep:
- Cal Newport’s recent episode discussing cognitive KPIs
- Hobonichi launch site!
(YES it’s Hobonichi launch day for some of us, depending on time zone! Orders open up at 10 PM Eastern time!!)
