In June of 2020, James Beshara wrote a popular essay on the subject of "Mental Wealth", or the concept of investing in your mental well being. Caller Williams adds what James would add as a 6th pillar to his 5 existing pillars of diet, exercise, stress management, and exogenous compounds. James talks about the surprising discovery he has made over the past year is the value of asynchronous work and limiting meetings with regards to his 6th pillar — blocking off thinking time.
