There is one thing sure to kill your hopes and dreams.

It’s the “mismatch.”

And there is one thing sure to bring you the “Good Life”: in health, wealth, love, and happiness.

It’s avoiding the “mismatch.”

What do I mean by this concept of the mismatch?

Lieberman covers much of this mismatch in his book and explains how the hard-wiring of your brain is adapted to be really good at living in a small village of about 150 people.

A village where you go to bed around 7:30 PM, sleep 8 hours,
eat tons of vegetables and a little meat, and where you fall in love and have kids with an old friend you have known since childhood.

In that village you have 2 or 3 career choices but not more than that. It’s a village where you are encouraged to save and not spend everything you earn.

But guess what?

That world’s long gone.

The world that the hard-wiring of you brain works best with has been replaced with a modern, crazy world.
