    • The Deferred Life, Part 2: Deferred Happiness Syndrome
      Apr 29 2024

      Deferred happiness is the idea that you can't be happy until you reach some goal or hit some milestone in your life.

      It's common to see people defer happiness until they make more money, find a romantic partner, finish school, move to a new city, or a million other scenarios.

      Today we talk about this idea often called Deferred Happiness Syndrome. We talk about why humans are prone to it, what type of people are MOST prone to it, and how to break the cycle of deferring happiness with some very practical strategies and techniques.

      This is our second episode in a series called "The Deferred Life"
      The first one covered the idea of deferring life until retirement to work in a job that makes you unhappy.
      Here's a link to that episode:

    • The Deferred Life, Part 1: Retirement
      Apr 22 2024

      Deferring happiness until retirement ...

      It is commonplace today for people to work their entire lives in jobs they hate, saving for a someday-retirement that may never come. People have come to accepted this way of deferring life — or deferring happiness — to be normal and even mandatory.

      Entrepreneurship, FIRE (Financial independence Retire Early), minimalism, and many other movements that go against the traditional path have grown more popular as people seem to realize that the default “Work-save-retire” path may not be the best one for them. YOLO

    • Don't Die: Bryan Johnson's Quest to Live Forever
      Oct 12 2023

      Is trying to live forever a good way to live your life?
      That's the question we try to tackle today, but we take an indirect approach by looking at longevity through the lens of Bryan Johnson's Blueprint project.

      Bryan Johnson is the founder of multiple companies including one that he sold to PayPal for $800million.

      Today he focuses much of his time on his Blueprint project where he takes what many would consider an extreme approach to longevity — spending $2million per year on a team of doctors, testing, procedures, and countless measurements — acting as a human guinea pig in an effort to reduce his speed of aging, and ultimately, not die.

      Do you want to live forever?
      Could you live like Bryan Johnsons?

      Listen in as we ask ourselves these very questions.

      Listen to our last episode on Minimalism: a life philosophy or just an approach to decluttering.
