A short transcript excerpt from a James Laughlin YouTube video arguing that many people feel exhausted not because they do too much physically, but because they do too little of activities that energize them—things aligned with their values, beliefs, and talents. Engaging in activities that allow expression of talents produces flow and reduces this kind of exhaustion.

When you look at the world around you, one of the things you might begin to notice is that a lot of people are exhausted, but not because they are physically doing too much. It is likely because they are doing too little of the things that energize them, the things that make them happy, the things that are aligned to who they are, their values, their beliefs, and their talents. If you're doing something that you can express your talents towards, guess what? This is how you experience flow.
