Ep 28: Lessons On: Focus & Longevity

This week, we are introducing a new recurring show format, Lessons On! In these episodes, we will share insights we’ve learned from books, podcasts, and articles. Ge shares lessons from Powerful Focus: A 7-Day Plan to Develop Mental Clarity and Build Strong Focus by Thibaut Meurisse. From social media scrolling to household clutter, Ge reflects on the actionable takeaways from this book to simplify our lives from unnecessary distractions. Whether it’s ruthlessly eliminating distractions or adding in productive tasks, the ultimate conclusion is ironic and clear: taking any action is going to be more productive than simply reading about it. David shares lessons from Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia. While medical advancements over the past century have increased our lifespan, the amount of time we are alive and free of disease—what Attia dubs our healthspan—has not seen meaningful improvements. David reflects on ten key insights he learned from this book about how to proactively prevent or delay the onset of disease. Do you have a story about what helps you thrive in your 30s, or challenges you’ve endured or overcome? Let us know at ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠DM our Instagram⁠⁠⁠ (newly launched!).
