The Last Person Alive To Know Everything

There Is To Know In The World!

Listen: If you walked into
Harvard's library in 1638, you could have read every book
they had. There were only 400 of them. At a pace of one
book a week, you would have read 50 books a year and,
finished all 400 books in eight years. Today, there are
15 million books in that library.

The world is very different
now. Some experts estimate the world's knowledge now doubles
every 2 to 3 years. We live in a society where the daily
newspaper can be so big we cannot read it all before the
next day's issue comes out. When we turn on the TV, we
have hundreds of cable and satellite channels to choose
from. And every time we blink we get a new email!

Life can be rather overwhelming.
We have more things to do than we can handle. We have
more choices to make than we have time to think. And while
we try to juggle work, health and our relationships, we
are constantly interrupted by hundreds of other things
life throws in our way.

All This Leads To Stress!

No wonder the most common
complaint doctors get from patients is 'tiredness' and
'low energy! We get very stressed out by the constant
change and fast pace of life and... this drains our energy
levels.

The result is we are tired,
sleepy, exhausted and worn-out. In the morning we want
to hide under our bed sheets. In the afternoon we wish
to crawl into a corner and take a nap. And in the evening
we just want to eat dinner and fall asleep to the TV.
