Amazing article.

I always thought of added weight in terms of military training for the real deal. We trained hard so when it was time to face the real thing, it was easier.

It’s the same with building mental resilience.

You should keep your self fit and ready for when a real problem comes your way.

"Weight management can either lead to burnout or thriving."

Great essay Kyle! 👏 I would add one caveat (which I'm sure you will agree with) that beyond a certain point, more "weight" will cause damage and breakdown, regardless of mindset. In dealing with workplace "burnout" over the past 50 years, leaders and consultants have prescribed "stress management" (mindset) training to help people cope with excessive workloads. The burnout rate has steadily INCREASED over that time. Sometimes the actual weight just has to be DECREASED!
