You're listening to the Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey. Today, I just want to tell you how big of a problem everything in the world is and how pretty much it's all someone's fault. It absolutely isn't mine. And I want you to fix it for me so I can feel good about myself. And now that I've got that off my chest, I would like to introduce today's topic. Which is. Which is about drama. Specifically, Addicted to Drama, which is a new book by Dr. Scott Lyons. And you might say, dave, I thought you talked about human performance and you talked about upgrading humanity and biohacking and stuff like that. Yeah, if you want to know one of the things that's getting in the way of you doing what you choose to do, and one of the things that's taxing your energy, it's drama. And some of it's your own drama that's invisible to you. And I've spent huge amounts of time figuring out my own dramas and things. But a lot of times it's other people's drama that they bring into your life. And somehow you welcome. For some reason, the overarching framework for biohacking is, look, maybe you should stop wasting energy, and then you should be better at making energy. And some of those are cellular processes. Today, in the conversation with Scott, we're going to talk about whether maybe even drama is a cellular process. But regardless, why this is so important is that if you can reduce your internal or external drama, that's the definition of biohacking. Changing the environment around you or inside of you so you have full control of your own biology. Drama steals your control of your biology, and there's a reason for it. And by studying that, I think you're going to find that. That, well, you might become a better human being, and that when you're a better human being, the people around you resonate with that, and maybe they become better human beings, too, and then we won't need politicians. Oh, wait, did I say that out loud? Sorry. Scott, welcome to the show.
Thanks, Dave. I have to say, that was the best intro I've ever had for.
Nice. Mission accomplished.
Well done. Yeah. I mean, you're talking about unnecessary turmoil and chaos that is affecting not only our physiology, our psychology, but our culture. And it's a significant problem. And there are pathways to heal this.
All right, Drama. I feel like we all know drama, but there's that Supreme Court definition of. Well, it rhymes with. With corn, but starts with a P. And I don't want to get this censored because that's not what this show's about. But when they asked them to define it, they said, I don't know what it is, but I know it when I see it. And I feel like drama is the same way. So is there a clinical definition of drama or is it just your mother in law?
My mother in law, yes. But I mean yours.
The collective your. But okay, right after Scott, no drama there.
No, I'm not married anymore. I don't know why there isn't a universal definition of drama. And that's part of the issue because you're right, we all know it, We've all seen it, we've all probably experienced it on a deep, impactful level. But it's so hard to define it really is this unnecessary turmoil and chaos in ourself that we're creating, that we're seeking, that we're around, that we're surrounded by, that we see in the world. And you know, we can. It's most. It's so much easier to define it by how it looks than.
