Why Elon Musk can't get an appointment with me. Boundaries & seductions.

The conversation is based on an excerpt from Kevin Hunt's essay, arguing that prioritising one's own wellbeing over accepting appointments, even from high-profile individuals like Elon Musk, is crucial for long-term health and success.

Hunt’s rationale centres on his "Health Hexagon" philosophy, which focuses on six key areas for health. He argues that sacrificing his dedicated time for exercise – which costs him financially – is a strategic investment in his long-term health and independence, benefiting not only his current self and his future self but also his family. This commitment to self-care, he claims, allows him to maintain his work-life balance and ethical practice, preventing burnout and ensuring he can continue helping others. He promotes his book, Pain: The Ultimate Mentor, as a resource for readers interested in this philosophy.
