Every mental health complication or
00:00:02
diagnosis is increasing and I've worked
00:00:04
with different scientists and done a lot
00:00:06
of experimentation on myself having
00:00:07
grown up with multiple depressive
00:00:09
episodes every year to see if there are
00:00:11
root causes that we can address. And so
00:00:13
I'll just throw out a few things that
00:00:15
have been very very helpful. First
00:00:17
there's brain stimulation. When I did
00:00:18
this I had months of no anxiety. Then
00:00:22
there's something called Vegas nerve
00:00:23
stimulation. and one of the most heavily
00:00:25
cited scientists of the last 30 years
00:00:27
has seen a wild collection of benefits.
00:00:29
I want to talk about all of that as
00:00:31
well, but the variety of things that you
00:00:33
write about, talk about is so wide. So,
00:00:35
what is the question that most people
00:00:37
should ask you?
00:00:38
How do you break down complicated
00:00:40
subjects and accelerate your ability to
00:00:42
learn because time is one of our most
00:00:45
valuable non-renewable resources? And
00:00:47
so, I have a framework that you can
00:00:48
apply to any subject matter. And if you
00:00:50
figure that out, you're ahead of 99.9%
00:00:53
of the world. What do you think is the
00:00:54
question most people want to ask you?
00:00:56
So, there's a lot of questions around
00:00:58
mental health and I feel like I have a
00:01:00
moral obligation to help people because
00:01:04
I was uh sexually abused by a
00:01:06
babysitter's son on a weekly basis. I
00:01:10
was this close to killing myself and it
00:01:14
can have a lot of effects, but these are
00:01:17
things that you can slowly chip away at.
00:01:19
and instead of feeling like you're held
00:01:21
captive by them, feel like you can take
00:01:24
the pain and make it part of your
00:01:26
medicine.
