You check your phone's battery a dozen times a day. You've probably never once checked your own. In this clip, David Ko and Jay Shetty talk about the question a friend asked her kids that changed how David thinks about mental health entirely: not "how are you doing", but "how's your battery?" David breaks down the four zones between 0 and 100, what to actually say when someone tells you they're at five, and why he spent years turning to smoking and late-night eating instead of anything that helped. Jay opens up about the dinner he cancelled the night before this conversation, and the stat that 61% of people feel they're just expected to get over stress. Learn about the difference between powering through and powering up, why the right amount of stress makes people work better while the wrong amount just makes them work harder, and how being fully present with someone charges you up at the same time it charges them.
