3 books to one-shot long term behaviour change for the better. All meaningfully improved the quality of my life by changing how I live it. 1. Ultra-Processsed People by Chris van Tulleken @DoctorChrisVT - Ultra-processed junk is really bad for your metabolic health. - Dramatically cut my consumption of packaged on the go crap (bye, protein bars 😢)

- Less scary/aggressive. I ditched the Whoop because the UX made it feel like the day was ruined if your HRV was low. Oura feels far more 'nudgey' and long-term Downsides: - Charging is less convenent with Oura. I've forgotten to charge it a few times

3 months back on @ouraring after 3 years with a @WHOOP. It's at least 2x better: - The insights are more interesting. There's less focus on a single recovery score. With Whoop, it feels like HRV is everything. With Oura, there's more

Eight Sleep is incredible.. when it works. I've had 2 and each has lasted a year-ish before breaking. Clearly an amazing team there, but I wish they'd spend a bit more time on the important but less marketing-friendly stuff - like the longevity of the actual product.

Eight Sleep is becoming the operating system for sleep, health, and longevity. Read my thoughts as we take @eightsleep into the next chapter.

It's not just a rise in mental illness and a decline of attentional capacity. There is also a set of personality changes that will make it harder for young people to succeed. @jburnmurdoch thinks smartphones and streaming services are likely culprits: ft.com/content/5cd77e…
