Do we really care about ourselves?
Healthy actions make a healthy body and soul.
The body is designed to be a blissful experience.
Our evolutionary biology ensures that everything necessary for our survival makes us feel good.
All animals seek pleasure and avoid pain.
Therefore, our brain has a wellspring of self-produced neurochemicals that turn the pursuits and struggles of life into pleasure and make us feel happy when we achieve them.
This biological design is generous but lays dormant in many.
One of the side effects of living in a digital age is that we are increasingly removed from our physicality and each other.
Our biology is short-circuiting.
The balance of neurochemicals that evolved for millennia has been disrupted by our modern life. The goal is to prescribe simple lifestyle choices and changes in behavior that can improve human potential.
