# What Now?

The insights in this book are based on current research and just as much as 
our understanding of the world has changed throughout time, these insights 
and understandings that determine our actions can also change through time. 
With the Internet, it is easy to scrutinize the information presented. This 
is important as it keeps you adjusted to reality and allows you to calibrate 
towards the better version of yourself. I like this metaphor, because having 
your best self as a framework is a very practical and realistic measuring 
tool to compare yourself with. It is unique to each person without having to 
generalize what is best for people to do. Ideally, you want to align your 
actions with the best version of yourself at any time. It is better to 
define this best version based on scientific findings rather than emotional 
attachments. For example, if you don't mind smoking, yet you know it is 
better for you not to, then you could acknowledge that a better version of 
yourself wouldn't smoke. The same would apply to other habits you would 
consider to be bad. The extent to which you can overcome these bad habits 
will greatly define your personal growth.
