Many of us wish we had more energy, stronger abs, and greater concentration. Similarly, we often find ourselves wishing we had better skin or hair. We hope we could sleep better at night and wish it were a little simpler to get up (by the way, those last two statements are connected!). This has resulted in the rise of a slew of companies centered on making us feel, look, and perform better. We spend a lot of money on cosmetic products, sleep pills, and gym memberships. We attempt insane stuff like sleeping on a bed of soft spikes (yes, it's a real thing! ), wearing blue-blocking sunglasses all day, and wearing energy-healing crystals (which are about as effective as wishing very hard!). We do these things because we need answers and are desperate. We're open to trying anything. And each time, we hope that we're on the verge of discovering the solution and realizing our entire potential.
