I agree. I see people who take their kids to scheduled classes — basketball every Saturday morning, gymnastics every Friday afternoon, violin every Monday evening.

When I was growing up, the kids who became the alphas were the ones who were obsessed — the kid who you never saw not dribbling a ball.

Now, as you get older and you have responsibilities to other people (spouse and kids), the issue is not “is” obsession healthy, but rather “how” can I manage my obsessions without destroying my relationships.

You almost lost me at Huberman because so much of his way too long content is pseudo science . Other than that I think this is very accurate and interesting. Bravo.

Well put. Needed to hear that. I'm coasting on some little short term wins and blaming it on being exhausted. But half of my exhaustion is from poor management of my life, bad habits. Gotta get addicted to who I could be again. I knew him, I was him, I've gotta become him again
