I watched the video clip. I like getting all sorts of ideas from all sorts of places. I know my perception of life is unique. I prefer to keep to myself. Getting in someone else’s shoes doesn’t give me joy. I just accept that they have their own perspective. If someone gets me then my ideas might help them. If I get someone else then I will try to add their perspective to my life.

What it helped me remember is that my field of view is narrow. So I can understand a lot more if I ask myself to imagine what life looks like from other vantage points.

Interesting point! That sounds like how habits of exercise and eating well support each other.

Great post! And I love that you shared the video from Andrew, such an interesting guy!! I recommend everyone (and yourself if you haven't already) to listen to the full podcast episode of this guy in Steven Bartlett's in Diary of a CEO. Very valuable lessons for business and entrepreneurs (also for life in general).

Couldn't agree more. I enjoyed living a fairly minimalist lifestyle until having kids - it's a lot harder now but we still try to get rid of things as they go out of use.
