The 4-Hour Meaning Week
4 power-hours of super-meaning per week is all you need
In Quaker weddings, the bride and groom stare at each other’s eyes. No one is allowed to move or speak until moved by God. Sometimes they stare at each other for hours.
When the moment comes, they say vows. Now they’re married.
I’ve been a hustler. I’ve worked 60 hours a week. I’ve written my book all night. I’ve sacrificed family, social life, and mental health. And for what?
Now that I work less than 10 hours a week — and the outcome is more of an afterthought — I get more of the results I want.
Life is a Quaker wedding. Sometimes it’s best to stay completely still until the time is right.

Before the pandemic, I did some Jiu-Jitsu. The black belts always stayed very calm during bouts. They focus on deep breathing and waiting for the right moment — maximum leverage. For them, it’s more like chess than a street fight.
No one wants to roll with a white belt. They struggle, flail, and sometimes graze your gentleman parts. Not only are they not good — they also make everything less fun for anyone fighting them.
