Hi there, Jack.  🤙 

I’m a curious person, and I like to sample from different avenues in this life. The popular press the portrays you as doing the same.  I’ve surveyed some of your purported interests and find them fascinating—-especially considering their unique combination within and one person. 

I have a question for you.  As one of the most commercially successful people in the world, you have virtually unlimited resources to satisfy your  curiosities and needs as an intellectual, as an adventurer, and as a soul.  Do you find there are any ways that can automatically physiologically help to quantitatively improve the clarity of your thinking, and qualitatively enrich your experience, to craft a coherent personal world-view out of the kaleidoscope of options you have, and with all activities you have available to pursue?

I’m a 47 year old man.  Consistently, each day, I find myself a bit baffled and at an unease with which I experience an inability to focus.  Alive, we as humans exist in on a plane of diverse experience and vast opportunity.

I find myself musing: is there such thing as a glue to cohere my experiences together into a neat identity with a somewhat explainable narrative arc?   If I had to write a start-up pitch to demonstrate my worth, I think I would face a painfully existential writer’s block.

The desires I’ve outline above may very well be misguided—-even sick.  Perhaps the secret is that there is no secret to life contentment.  Perhaps the internal demand to achieve peace is the very thing that prevents it. In this sense, I would say maybe meditation and awareness practices could help in exploring “letting go” and instead “going with the flow”.  

Or is the superior virtue “going against the grain”?

I have a type of perfectionistic, obsessive, compulsive personality, where I really want to think of things in clean categories. This may speak for itself in providing an explanation for my angst. I use modern medicine and therapy to cope.  I’ve also tried any number of alternative medicine and means to become healthier and more productive on this journey of life.

People like me ask you for advice because you are commercially successful and say things in the press that I genuinely meaningful, thought-provoking, and absent of pretension.  I often wonder whether people like you have a secret sauce, or how much luck and coincidence factored into your destiny.

Would you be so kind as to provide any feedback on these musings of mine?  Warm thanks for considering. 🫂
