Listen to me, no matter what is happening to you in life, stay social, do not isolate.

No matter what is happening to you in life, stay social, do not isolate.

I'm going to tell you why. I wish somebody had told me this when I was 18 years old.

Maybe I'll skip parallel universe. Quantum leap back to when I'm 18 years old and I'm talking to myself.

Okay? Time's probably an illusion, but that's for another talk.

Here's what I would say.

I would say, look, the human brain has evolved

and been built to over-exaggerate problems, period.

I was just in Dubai with 150, I did like a small group meet up in Dubai with some of my top students.

I've been in my doing my courses programs learning for me for like a decade.

One of them sitting on 20 million in cash, making a million a month,

and he was telling me how depressed and anxious and how anxiety dominates his life

and how it's getting worse.

I was with another dude.

And he's got a software company valued over 500 minute bucks.

It's like 28, 29.

So I'm going, wait, what's going on?

And I've been there too.

It's called Brain H hijack. Our ancestors we evolved from grandparents. We are the grandchildren of grandparents who over-exaggerated their problems because if you over-exaggerated, worst-case scenario, you're just a little bit

over-reacted, but at least you survived.

Our grandparents who were under-exaggerated didn't have many kids, because if you under-exaggerate

the problem, once in a while once in a lifetime
