I'm about to ruin your entire worldview in the best possible way.

Stock markets, relationships, success, happiness.

Every self help book is 300 pages saying eat less, move more.

Every relationship advice boils down to communicate and care.

The ancient secret they don't want you to know.

While you're searching for complex solutions, life is screaming simple answers.

The misdirection looking for complexity is the complexity.

Want to hear something that'll break your brain?

The more you want something, the more it eludes you.

Like trying to float by swimming harder, you just sink faster.

Do the thing, but don't death grip the outcome.

The more you try to control everything, the less control you actually have.

Organize every detail, try to predict every outcome.

And then life laughs and throws you a curveball anyway.

Control is like holding water in your hands.

Squeeze tighter and it slips through your fingers faster.

The ancient stoics figured this out 2000 years ago.

Everything else, that's life's department.

Can you control being someone worth respecting?

Your brain's secret night shift Ready for something wild?

While you sleep, your brain runs a full cleaning crew.

Like janitors working the night shift, scientists discovered your brain has its own waste removal system.

During deep sleep, cerebrospinal fluid washes through your brain tissue, clearing out toxins that build up during the day.

It's like a dishwasher for your thoughts.

This process is why you think clear after a good night's sleep.

Your brain physically shrinks during sleep.

To create more space for this cleaning process, the cells actually contract, opening up channels for the fluid to flow through.

Your brain is 60% fat, weighs about 3 pounds, and burns 20% of your daily calories.

We're basically walking supercomputers that need nightly maintenance.
