Lately I can't help but feel that self-improvement is a cult, especially when it gets hardcore. So many people are putting themselves on the rack to eke out the tiniest gains in whatever they think will their life better. And sometimes you hear Silicon Valley entrepreneurial guys like Tony Hsieh literally dying in their pursuit of perfection.

Then I see so many people killing themselves over and over again on psychedelics just to see God for ten minutes. And for what benefit? What have they brought back? Has anyone ever made the world better from this?

I don't want to have to do all this shit. I just want to be happy.
