As always, I love the post, Benjamin!

The mood boosting effect of cocoa is no joke. I eat it every day as I mentioned in a post about optimizing neurotransmitters.

Supercharge Your Mood, Productivity, Motivation And Happiness By Hacking Your "Feel Good"…

I think the whole thriving concept revolve around the concept you mentioned — intense work and intense recovery.

For nutrition, I eat amazing foods and then fast to get all the benefits of not eating.

For exercise, I workout hard and recover like a baby during my quality 8-hour sleep.

For information, I set a time for deep learning and then let the info process through writing.

For love, I actively connect with loved ones when I’m with them and be alone to recharge (and process emotions).

Thank you so much for writing!
