I used to struggle to fall asleep every single night.

The 4-7-8 method fixed it for me:

- 4-second nose inhale
- 7-second hold
- 8-second mouth exhale
- Repeat 3-5x

It works by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and recovery.

Next time you find yourself staring at the ceiling, mind racing, give it a shot.

Screenshot is from my book (in the Physical Wealth Guide section).

Order here: amazon.com/gp/product/059…Image To be honest, I used to think breathwork was nonsense, but then I tried it, and completely changed my mind.

Kudos to @hubermanlab and others who created content on it that helped me understand the science.

My book shares three breathing practices that help promote a calm state.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 8th anniversary.

Over the last year, I asked couples who have been married 50+ years what advice they’d give to their younger selves.

Here’s the relationship advice everyone needs to hear: 1. Tell your partner you love them every night before falling asleep. Someday you’ll find the other side of the bed empty and wish you could.

2. Never keep score in love.

3. Laugh until you cry. Laughing together goes a long way to smooth the inevitable bumps in the road.

This moment feels special:

Your entire life can change faster than you ever thought possible.

I see a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to making money.

Here's my attempt to provide some good...

My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money: 1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.

Here's a harsh truth: No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.

Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created.

I think the whole “alcohol is poison” thing is too black and white.

Social connection is one of the most important factors for your physical health.

If having a beer with your friends promotes that connection, good for you.

If it doesn’t, also good for you.

The point: Do you. I’ve personally reduced my alcohol consumption about 90-95%, but if I’m with a new or old friend and they want to share a drink of something special, I’m in.

I'm thrilled to announce that my first book—The 5 Types of Wealth—is officially ​available for preorder​ everywhere books are sold!

I believe this book is going to change millions of lives. Its ideas have already changed mine...

So, what is ​The 5 Types of Wealth​ all about?

It's about rejecting the default and living life by design.

It's about realizing that your wealthy life may involve money, but in the end, it will be defined by everything else.

In this book, I offer a new way for you to think about your life centered around five types of wealth:

• Time Wealth
• Social Wealth
• Mental Wealth
• Physical Wealth
• Financial Wealth

A new way to measure what matters, make better decisions, and design your life around the pillars that truly create lasting joy and fulfillment.

Importantly, this book will not give you the answers. It will give you the right questions, so that you can uncover and act on them.

While the lens through which you view them will be individual, the stories, questions, ideas, and tools contained in this book are universal.

No matter who you are, or where you are on your journey, this book is for you.

If you’ve enjoyed any of my work, you’re going to find immense value in this book. I guarantee it.

My humble ask: Preorders are extremely important for the success of a book—retailers use the data to determine buys, placement, and more—so I'd be truly grateful for your support as I continue on my mission to create millions of positive ripples in the world.

Order today: the5typesofwealth.com

If you reply and share this tweet, I'll personally message you my thanks and a few ideas I think you'll enjoy in the book. No automations, just me, because real impact is personal and human.

P.S. I'm also offering a bunch of bonuses for anyone who preorders one or more copies (a video series, access to a monthly live AMA/office hours, and a virtual book club appearance). Drop your order number in the portal on the website to access those bonuses.Image I used to make fun of my Dad for buying People Magazine at Hudson News to read on planes.

He just got the last laugh. Image

The silent productivity killer you've never heard of...

Attention Residue (and 4 strategies to fight back): Image The concept of "attention residue" was identified by Dr. Sophie Leroy in 2009.

The idea is simple:

There is a cognitive cost to shifting your attention from one task to another. When our attention is shifted, a "residue" remains and impairs our performance on the new task.

In 1958, a 20-year-old Hunter S. Thompson wrote a letter to a friend with his advice on finding his life purpose.

It is a work of art.

5 brilliant lessons on finding purpose (everyone should read this): Image Lesson 1: Avoid the Perils of Advice

Using someone else's map of reality to navigate your terrain is risky.

My advice (ironic, I know): When giving or receiving advice, focus on the general, not the specific.

Take the general, wrestle with it, and make it specific to you. Image

Ok, random interesting experience yesterday that I want to share:

Playing in the backyard with my son, when I notice some bees flying around a tree.

Take my son inside and get closer to investigate.

Here's what I saw (and what I learned): Let me preface this by saying two things:

1. I hate bees. Got stung by too many wasps and hornets while playing barefoot as a kid.

2. I know nothing about the different types of bees.

Worried about my kid getting stung, so I start looking for exterminators.

10 differences between amateurs and professionals:

1. Amateurs make it look effortful, Professionals make it look effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice. Small things become big things.

(thread) 2. Amateurs love the prize, Professionals love the process.

You’ll never make it if the view at the summit is the only thing motivating you to climb. The hunt has to be just as exciting as the meal at the end.

Professionals truly fall in love with the process.

My Anti-To-Do List

(15 things I want to avoid on a daily basis)

1. Do not complain about anything.

If the thing is within your control, then go do something about it. If the thing is out of your control, then it's just a waste of energy to complain about it.Image 2. Don't allow negative people to steal your energy.

Stop avoiding difficult conversations. Embrace the need to remove toxicity from your life.

3. Do not allow more than 2 hours of inactivity.

Get up and go for a walk. Do a few pushups or lunges. Move your body regularly.

These 7 questions changed my life...

(ask them and they may change yours): Image 1. If I repeated this day for 100 days, would my life be better or worse?

You live your life zoomed in. It makes it difficult to assess your course.

Force a zoom out:

How would your actions from a typical day compound?

Would they steer you off course?

Adjust accordingly.

Last weekend, I attended Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha.

It was an incredible experience.

9 ideas from the event that I can't stop thinking about: 1. Go where you don’t belong.

One truth I’ve learned over and over again in my life: Good things happen when you put yourself in rooms where you don’t feel like you belong.

Remember: That feeling of uncertainty, fear, and discomfort is usually a sign of growth.
