Really appreicate how Maya reframes loss around the 'why' instead of the 'what.' I had a similar experiencewhen an injury sidelined my running, it took me months to realize I wasn't mourning the miles but the headspace and challenge. Once I saw that, cycling filled the same gap almost immediately. The part about teh end-of-history illusion is kinda wild too because we really do assume we're done changing even though we obviosly haven't been.

That reframe was eye-opening for me as well. I tend to focus on the action itself rather than the why behind it.

Great interview, Chris. Really looking forward to reading Maya's book.

Thank you for introducing me to Maya. I can't wait to read her latest book and found her insights and wisdom from your questions very relatable and, once again, thought provoking.

I love the why instead of what, the three forms of empathy and that we should expect that our internal values and perspectives would almost necessarily change as a result change to our circumstances.

Thank you again for another great interview.
