We all want to improve our lives. But how does one actually do that?

1. Music: Nietzsche once said life without music would be a mistake. Thus, it seems that music is a very good investment. I recommend Apple Music over Spotify, because of the deep integration it has with iPhone and all your Apple devices.
2. Walking: what is the ultimate luxury? Being able to walk. What is the ultimate slavery? Not being able to walk. This is why I hated working office so much, because you’re chained to your desk, and not able to go outdoors, and breathe fresh air. If you optimize your life for walking, you will be happier and live a better life. In fact, rather than tracking your progress in life based on your bank account balance, perhaps it is better to track your steps. In other words, the more steps you accrue in the day, the better.
3. Go on more hikes, or do more outdoorsy stuff. Humans have a natural biophilia, that is love of the natural. That’s the more you expose yourself to nature, the better.
4. Exposure to natural light: I know personally speaking, I’m the most depressed when I don’t have access to natural light. This is why I think the winter times are very tough, because a combination of last natural light, and also less walking. This is why Denver is so interesting to me, because Denver albeit it is cold, it is very bright. I don’t think it’s the cold which people hate, but the cold room which prevents you from going out and walking around is what people hate. if anything, if you live in a cold environment, to improve your life just buy a really good expensive warm jacket and some very good shoes, to maximize your walking ability.
5. Even with your homes, the best home is the one with the most natural light. Also, the house which is maximally quiet. Loud Street noise is one of the biggest detriment to our health, our focus, and our well-being.
6. Via Negativa: the best way to improve your life is figure out what to subtract. For example, subtracting toxic people, toxic literature, and toxic ideas. And I also think that in order to improve your life, get rid of things which intoxicate you. For example, subtracting alcohol and weed seems like a good idea.
7. Produce more than you consume: I like the idea that 20% of your life is consumption, and 80% of your life is production. To produce, create, and to enact an impact on society and humanity is what brings us joy. I call this producerism.
