Summary
Stephen Zerfas is CEO of Jhourney, which trained 1,400 people, including OpenAI and Anthropic founders, to reach profound meditative states in a week previously believed to require thousands of hours. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Nervous system mastery is your ability to regulate your inner state. It is a greater competitive advantage than intelligence, hustle, or strategy. 2. Meditation fails for most people because of poor feedback loops; progress accelerates when you treat it like a skill with real-time feedback and experimentation. 3. Emotional regulation is the future edge in a world where intelligence is commoditized; those who stay calm, clear, and present under pressure will outperform.
