From Bryan Johnson:
When I was depressed, I learned this lesson — to observe my thoughts — not BE my thoughts. And when I could observe my mind in action, and it’d be like “Hey Bryan, life is not worth living, everything’s worthless, everything sucks, you should probably kill yourself.”Like ohh, I’m not those things, that’s just my brain throwing trash, being a troll. That was like the most liberating experience of my entire life and then I was like, oh you know what, my brain is probably very similar to other peoples’ brains, I probably shouldn’t care what other people think either, because their brain is probably just as fucked up as mine…
