He should have re-read that paragraph.

Does someone understand the graph btw ?

Also I do agree that this era is selling obesity in many forms and that the high frequency noise, flood, paradox of choice is unhealthy.

There was an article (I forgot where sorry) which claimed that difficulty and depth was more in tune with how our system works. You don't progress by doing thousands of nanosteps. Maybe I'm too masochist but I think it works better. Deep moves, deep rest, repeat.
