Happy New Year, Everyone!

It's 2024, and this year, instead of making resolutions on how you can improve yourself, I want you to do the opposite. I want you to radically accept yourself exactly as you are. I would like this year to be the best year of your life. I want you to see only the amazing things you can do and all the potential you have.

In this podcast, I cover Robert Sapolsky's book, "Behave." This voluminous book covers all the reasons why we do not have free will. There are many. For some reason others find this disheartening. I personally find this liberating. If we don't have free will, why are we all working so hard to do what others want us to do? Why are we worrying about the future? Why worry about making the right or even best choice? If we have no free will then why not spend our life focused on what makes us feel alive and the rest should fall into place.

As a gifted neurodivergent, I have come to realize there is so much in place in our system that actively thwarts my success. I worked very hard trying to fulfill the potential they said I had—the potential to be slightly better than average, the potential to make other people a lot of money. When I finally gave up, left the system, and pivoted to what I wanted to do, everything got so much easier. I was no longer working against myself; I was working for myself. I was working in a manner that seemed like I was always supposed to work. I was doing exactly what I was always meant to do.

Every minute I spend working on the things I was told I was not supposed to work on because I was here to be productive and serve the system, I have been happier. I want this for you too. I want your life to get better each year. The rest of the world may be falling apart, but we are finally getting the chance to be freed enough to pull ourselves together.

Robert Sapolsky's book "Behave" - I love this author. I recommend all of his books.
