The Importance of Intense Personal Development

I think everybody needs to go through a period where they have just intense productivity. I had this kind of existential crisis realizing that maybe I wasn't fulfilling myself in the way that I should have been toward the end of my 20s. It was very formative for me to dedicate myself to seeing what was in there. The main lever for me was stopping partying. And all of this for me, looking back now, looked so perfectly because it coincided with going sober as well.
