We are super proud of having come this far, and also madly thankful to all our listeners for their constant support. This show has had 1.1 million downloads to date, so knowing how many people love it makes all the effort we put in totally worth it.

Joining us, you will get a chance to hear the best of our interviews with Dr. Ron Ehrlich, Beth Lipton, Erwan Le Corre, Dr. Dom D’Agostino, Cal Newport, and Stephen Le.

“When was the last time you did a handstand or a summersault, or walked or balanced barefoot on a log, or picked up an oddly shaped object? These are things our bodies are meant to do but we just don’t do them very much.” — Ashleigh VanHouten [0:22:25.1]

“Facebook for a while had a market cap that was twice that of ExxonMobil, meaning the value in extracting time and attention from people's heads was twice as valuable as extracting oil and natural gas from the ground.” — @StudyHacksBlog [0:58:49.1]
