Bryan Johnson says the things he values most came after working through pain: hunger, exhaustion from training, relationship struggles. He argues that negotiating with discomfort, rather than avoiding it, leads to fulfillment and greatness.
What do those hard moments during this protocol look like? Is it when you're really hungry or you're really tired?
I mean, I don't know about you, but the things I most value in my life have been achieved on the other side of pain. So when I encounter discomfort, whether it be in hunger or in working out where I'm too tired, or in a relationship or in something else, and I somehow figure out how to negotiate with that pain, I feel great. I think a lot of us feel great when we negotiate and push through pain.
