Meditation endorsement — too hard to ignore!
In this solo commentary, the speaker reflects on the growing reputation of meditation among high‑performing individuals. He notes that many successful people describe meditation as a "first‑principles" habit that enhances their capabilities, and while he doesn’t doubt their sincerity, he wonders whether a halo effect is at work—similar to the recent popularity of journaling, cold‑plunge therapy, and breathwork. He argues that even if meditation isn’t the primary driver of their success, it likely serves as a powerful force multiplier. Concluding, he decides that, given the consistent endorsement from some of the world’s clearest and most effective thinkers, meditation deserves his attention, even if it isn’t the sole cause of their achievements.
