The Shopify read frames the platform as the business partner YMH Studios wishes they'd had from the start, noting it powers 10% of US e-commerce. Bert then delivers a deeply personal Hims ad, detailing his hair-loss journey: he only started paying attention to thinning after he lost weight and had nothing else to fixate on. He's been using finasteride and minoxidil from Hims for three months and reports significant regrowth at the crown. The read is characteristic Bert — self-deprecating, specific, and convincing precisely because it's so nakedly honest. He notes the product works in three to six months based on clinical studies, and he claims he's personally seeing results after three.
Tom Segura breaks down the Netflix American Revolution documentary and the story of Daniel Boone — a man so capable he established the largest settlement in Kentucky, trained his daughter to be a marksman, and then watched her leave fabric trails while being kidnapped at 14 to help rescuers find her. Bert keeps confusing him with Davy Crockett.
The man who invented the meter — 1 millionth of the distance between Earth and the North Pole — unveiled it on a velvet table to a room full of bewildered dignitaries, then got guillotined for it. The French Revolution didn't just kill criminals; it killed anybody who made people scratch their chins.
Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson analyzed almost 500 self-improvement techniques and found they all reduce to just 12 underlying psychological drivers.
Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
A study found that simply scheduling enjoyable activities was as effective as standard cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, leading to its own therapy called behavioral activation.
The 'worry time' technique — deferring all worries to a designated time of day — helps people realize they have more control over worry than they thought and reveals it is less useful than it feels.
A study found that participants told to try to stay awake while in bed fell asleep faster than participants told to try to sleep — illustrating the paradox of direct effort.
Spencer Greenberg reduced his severe social anxiety dramatically in roughly 6 months through a structured exposure therapy hierarchy, culminating in asking strangers for hugs.
