Better Human,

We are highly judgmental survival-and-replication machines. We constantly walk around thinking, “I need this,” or “I need that,” trapped in the web of desires. Happiness is the state when nothing is missing. When nothing is missing, your mind shuts down and stops running into the past or future to regret something or to plan something. -The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

Peace is what you want yet you go about it in all the wrong ways.

You think your problems are solved outside of you. But how is an internal problem solved by doing something external?

It’s not. That should be obvious. For most, it’s not.

So how do we handle desires so they don’t make us miserable?

Desires are useful to give your life meaning. The key is treating them as icing on the cake of life. Your life is already a delicious cake, so maybe you add some icing later on once you’ve earned it because then it’s even more delicious.

That is the winning perspective.

The losing perspective is considering your life incomplete before you ice the cake. You decide to be miserable until you get an iced cake rather than enjoying the cake right in front of you now and again later once you ice it.

So how do you actually do this in life?

You choose.

If you choose to get in shape, you know you won’t wake up tomorrow 15 pounds lighter just because you made a choice. So you work at it.

It’s just like that.

Break your choices down into countless sub-choices that you make daily that move you towards your goal.

To control your desires is just like choosing to get fit. Give it time and keep after it, and you’ll realize the choice eventually.

Net zero anything is a fraud. Simplistic low resolution sloganeering instead of detailed thought. All to feel good instead of solving a problem.

The tests aren’t accurate. Cloth masks don’t work. Shutting down can destroy society. Hospitalization numbers are completely misleading. This all just became ok to admit this week. Last week we were all conspiracy nut spreading misinformation. It’s really something to watch.

🔥 Useful $HIT CORNER 🔥

🇺🇸 On January 10, 1861 → Florida delegates voted to secede from the U.S. Florida became one of the six original Southern states to form the Confederate States of America. Eventually, 11 states would leave the Union. (Happened once and it can happen again)

🦾 How to be dangerous → Practice your safety routines. What do you do if someone breaks in? Do you know where your weapons are? Do you have an escape plan? I wonder how many of the daily deaths could be prevented if victims had a simple preparedness plan.

🍳 Cooking: All you need is one good cooing knife and one small serrated knife for 90% of your kitchen needs. The key is a knife sharpener, a honing rod, and hand-washing and drying after use.

🤷‍♀️ Not surprised: An Environmental Working Group study found that 10 popular bottled water brands were contaminated with chemical pollutants, bacteria, and heavy metals.

🦠 There are around 4 quadrillion quadrillion bacteria on Earth. 😷 Good luck hiding from them.

🍟 McDonald's fries were cooked in beef fat until 1990… then a campaign from a rich dude against animal fats (thanks to the Ancel Keys dogma at the time linking animal fats to heart disease) successfully convinced McDonald’s to stop using beef. What they use today is likely soybean oil or some other seed oil.

🌞 Health → Good: In the shower, close your eyes and count ONE on the in-breath and TWO on the out-breath. Do this for 60 breaths. Congrats, you just meditate and it took two minutes.

🧠 Max Truth 💯

The closer you get to Truth, the more successful your life will become.

What is Truth? → That everything in your human existence is your responsibility, every thought, feeling, and action and nothing exists outside your mind … and… you pay a cost for every thought, feeling, or action that violates this Truth.

When you blame anything outside yourself, you are lying and giving up your agency and power. What a waste.

When you rely on anything outside yourself, you are acting irrationally and putting your faith in something you can’t control. This is a contract with yourself to be let down in the future since you’ll always be let down when you expect infallibility out of infallible creatures. Expectations are destructive killers. Kill them instead.

🍄 The Most delicious way to consume functional mushrooms I’ve ever seen 🤯

Support the newsletter and get an amazing brand-new product while supporting small mushroom growers in the US. Win-Win-Win.

What is Shruum? A naturally sweet mushroom-concentrated superfood drizzle you can use to finish recipes, add to drinks and coffee, give to kids, and take as a supplement. All in one bottle! You’ve got to try this stuff.

The guys over at shruum really impressed me.

I've been in the food and supplement space for 7 years now, and I've never seen (or tasted) something like their new Shruum product.

It's like a high-end balsamic vinegar, mildly sweet, non-glycemic, and then packed with 1000+ mg of functional mushrooms per serving. What's not to love about that?

And I loved the idea before I tasted it.

Then I got a sample and wowzers…. I now don't sit down to a meal without it. And my recent reactivation of Chipotle as a way to get clean, fast, cheap protein is taken to an entirely new level entirely with a quick drizzle of Shruum.

Since they just launched, they have offered the Better Human audience special pricing and free shipping on their King and Queen Mushroom set.

Chaga is known as the KING of mushrooms and Reishi the QUEEN.

Through this special extraction process, you get unique flavor profiles that highlight the uniqueness of each mushroom.

Reishi: notes of apricot, honeysuckle, marmalade

Chaga: notes of mission fig, vanilla, brown sugar

Finally, their sourcing is going to change the industry. Most mushrooms are grown in China. Some are good; many are not so good. But people want US-grown mushrooms, and finally, after years of working towards this goal, US supply chains are starting to compete.

Shruum is a product built on that newly created—and growing—supply chain.

The Reishi mushrooms are grown on fallen maple and oak logs using sustainable agricultural forestry practices in the USA.

Our Chaga is exclusively foraged in the pristine boreal forest of Alaska's interior, north of Mount Denali USA, in partnership with the native Inuit.

They might sell out since they have a very limited supply on hand.

Use code BETTERHUMAN for free shipping off their King and Queen Mushroom Set to get early access to this incredibly unique and tasty product. Click here.
