There are very rarely free lunches when it comes to biochemical enhancement.

Supplements can become a crutch for people who aren’t paying sufficient attention to their diet, sleep, and other parameters—they become a Band-Aid to cover other bad decisions.

I feel that one of the greatest issues we face today, especially in the United States, is this idea of experience stretching ... Everything that you own is a small burden on you.

Looking back on the last decade, the one thing that I didn’t do soon enough was admit to myself and others that I didn’t know certain things. The quicker you are to come forward with the fact that there’s a hole in your knowledge, the quicker that hole will be filled.

For me, luxury in a way, more than anything else, is the feeling of being unrushed.

If you're thinking about having some caffeinated tea, but you don't want to have a ton of caffeine... the best thing to do is steep the tea for about 30 seconds and then pour off that first steeping because 80% of the caffeine is released during the first 30 seconds of the steep

I think it's easy for people who lift weight, in some fashion, to be heavily biased against bodyweight or calisthenic-type exercises, and it's very easy for people who do bodyweight calisthenic-type exercises... to glance askance at people who are lifting weights. And I think they are very, very complementary. But man, I have seen some gigantic bodybuilders and powerlifters do a yoga class and just end up on the floor because it is a different exercise.

People get so caught up in these bull and bear markets and watching these coins... I try not to get caught up in the weeds there and just zoom out even further.
