You Gave Them This For Free?

0:00Ryan Holiday: So I woke up this morning as I do every morning thanks to my 8sleep. I've loved my 8sleep for years. The new 8sleep Pod 6 is officially available. 8sleep can result in up to 34 % more deep sleep and a 32 % average increase in sleep quality scores. And the 8sleep's 6th generation of the Pod is a smart mattress cover that now truly fits on any size mattress. The hub is 50 % smaller than the previous versions. Its thermal engine is 20 % faster. And the new cover has nine times the biometric sensors of the Pod 5. And now with AI in the autopilot, it learns your patterns and adjusts every single night.

0:42Ryan Holiday: The Pod 6 starts at$1 ,999. That's the lowest price 8Sleep has ever offered. And you can use code DAILYSTOIC right now at 8sleep.com slash DAILYSTOIC for up to$200 off the Pod 6. and you get 30 days at home to try it. Free returns if it's not for you. You gave them this for free? That bad relationship, that gossip and drama, that period you spent anxious and worried, those needless obligations you weren't strong enough to reject, that job you hated but didn't quit. At the time, it didn't seem like much, but now it's clearer what you paid for them and how little you got in return. In retrospect, it's baffling, it's exasperating, Like Taylor Swift sings about one of her frustrating relationships, I'm pissed off that you let me give you all that youth for free.

1:33That's what we're giving up, Seneca reminds us. Whenever we say yes to things we should say no to, when we waste our time, we are wasting our lives. Let no one rob me of a single day, she said, who is not going to make me an adequate return for such a loss. Let the sunk cost of the past stay there. You now have the present. and the presence of mind to know what it's worth. Don't give any more of it away for free.
