Yes yes! That is a great point - I've been so focused on my internal state that I have forgotten that the information we ingest is prob the biggest lever.

You can think all you want but if mindlessly scrolling through YouTube all day it won't matter.

Aligned as always, Gordon 🤩🤩

Robert, you and I are so similar. Tugging on the mindfulness thread, it seems like the biggest variable is what knowledge/information are we interacting with you produce understanding. Hear the weather report, come to believe it will rain, and your actions may change. No new information OR no new belief and your action doesn't change.

Strikes me that there is a Conway's law going on here. Just like how orgs are structured as a function of how they communicate, maybe our minds are structured as a function of how we sense/learn

I'm thrilled you are writing up on this topic. It intrigues me how much focus some people place on their food intake, yet they do not give much consideration to the type of information and ideas they absorb or the impact it makes to their thinking and beliefs. Recently I've seen the approach taken by Mo Gawdat in his application of the scientific method to address his depression - and then later the mood of others around him. His later momentum in the establishment of OneBillionHappy is inspiring, and something that I take a lot of valuable lessons from.

Thanks, Tom. Yes - it's unfortunate that mental health (and not just as it relates to mental illness, but general mental *fitness* as well) is so invisible, and as a result, so poorly prioritized.

I haven't been following Mo Gawdat's journey, but will check it out as well.
