The narratives that control us, the stories we tell ourselves, shape our reality. And so often, we just take it as assumed that what we're thinking is true, it's accurate, it's a reflection of reality. So, 'don't believe everything you think,' I think, has some really profound implications for well-being, it has profound implications for performance, it has profound implications for everything since your entire experience of life is passed through this filter that we call the mind.

So I'm driving on the road, and I'm going to see a billboard ... What would I most want to see? ... Be as kind and forgiving to yourself as you are to the people you love.

Regret can be a useful teacher and a spotlight that helps you identify things that you would benefit from doing or not doing. I would say, regret, to me, is a type of pain, and I think pain can really be a positive force for positive change.

I've yet to meet the person who's not wrestling with some shittiness ... It's a unifying trait of us humans. We've got some shit we're all dealing with.

I had told myself, as I think a lot of people do, 'If I got some money, I'd be happy. If I got this girl, I'd be happy. If I got this job, I'd be happy.' And I was lucky enough to get the all those things, and I was very unhappy. So, I really had to ask why, and I had to actually figure out how to be happy because it wasn't those things.

Cold exposure, cold baths used to be prescribed at these various retreats for people suffering from depression ... Folks would be prescribed, say, two sessions of cold exposure per day, and that's just been lost over time in favor of kind of pharmaceutical intervention, which has its place. But the cold exposure is a game-changer. It's really a game-changer.

I do believe that [with] all these people we disagree with... I do believe [if] we were stuck somewhere with them and talked to them for two hours, the humanity takes over. We're so much more similar than we are different.

I've just never felt worse after an hour of exercise than I felt before.

Most people take for granted that they're able to be honest with themselves, and in my experience, it's way harder than you think it is to be honest with yourself.

One of the reasons I relapsed is I fucking love control. I love to know what mood I will be in. I love to regulate my emotions and my feelings. And that's one thing drugs do—you know how you will feel in 30 minutes.

I also grew up quite broke for a period of time. My family was very obsessed with climbing the financial ladder, so I'm obsessed with money, and I have great fear and financial insecurity—irrational, completely irrational. I've had numbers throughout my whole life—'If I had this amount of number, I'd feel safe. If I had this amount of money, I'd feel safe.' And then I never felt safe.
