Episode Don't Become the Richest Person in the Graveyard
Our culture has pushed and trained and brainwashed so many of us to chase money and watches and things so we become “rich.”
It’s sad. Because people get hurt (by getting nice things and losing their soul along the way).
And this brainwashing is designed to make us think that if we exhaust our energy and spend our lifeforce on this pursuit, we’ll get to a place where we wake up happy.
It’ll never happen. Never. Ever.
I’ve seen it time and time again with the billionaire clients that I’ve mentored for decades. They feel happy for a week and then the scientific phenomenon of hedonic adaptation takes effect, they normalize the new rewards and, of course, they want more.
A great life may have financial independence in it and if that’s important to you then win in this area, please. But without wellness, love, craft and the other forms of wealth (along with my specific tools that optimize each one) a person ends up as the richest person in the graveyard.
I'm truly super excited over the upcoming release of my new book The Robot and the Gardener: Being Fully Human in an Artificial Age (Penguin Random House). It's a parable and it's different (by far!) from any book I've ever written.
