      The Concept of a Life Experiment

      Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

      What a life experiment does is take the concept of a scientific experiment and applies it to our everyday lives. More importantly, it keeps things as simple as possible. Even if you aren’t much of a science or math person, you should still be able to understand and apply what is in this book. I don’t claim that we will act like true scientists, but rather, we will adopt many of their principles to experiment in our own lives. We can think more like a scientist and less through assumptions and guesswork.

      What is the goal of this life experimentation? To figure out the best way to do things for ourselves. Often, people will give us advice, we'll read something that sounds good, or we’ll have an idea but no way of knowing if the idea is actually worthwhile. Through life experiments, we can quickly and systematically find the processes that lead to the best outcomes. There is no need to assume that because something works for someone else that it will work well for you. We can test this with life experiments.

      The beauty of life experiments is that they apply to so many areas. You could use the concept to improve your energy or happiness levels, monthly income, sleeping habits, the efficiency of your schedule, exercises for losing weight, or almost anything else you can think of.

      The other huge benefit of life experiments is that you can always experiment further, continuously improving upon a process or system. You can experiment until you are satisfied with the results.

      This book will aim to show you the approaches, tools, and systems you need to conduct life experiments. From there, you will be able to improve any processes you wish, to gain the outcomes you want.

      I have been able to make personal breakthroughs in many areas of my life through persisting with life experiments. I hope to show you how I did this and how you can make a big change in your life by conducting your own life experiments.

      Before we begin, I want you to note that there is a convenient list of appendices at the end of this book. I recommend familiarizing yourself with them, as they will aid in your understanding of the rest of the text. Appendix A provides you with useful definitions, although most terms should be defined within the book itself. For your convenience, key terms are bolded within the text, with a more technical definition provided in the appendix. Appendix B gives you a checklist of all the parts that go into a life experiment, and includes an example experiment. Appendix C includes fun and interesting experiments you can try. And Appendix D presents a list of helpful apps and tools.

      How My Search for Truth Led Me to Life Experiments

      Lesson 1: You Can’t Believe Everything You Hear (or Read or See, etc.).

      When I was seventeen years old, my cousin Salvador asked me, What do you want to get out of this life? I thought about it for a moment, and I responded, Truth. Truth is what I want. This felt like an important moment. I had never before identified what I wanted in such simple terms. Arriving at the truth, however, would not be so simple.

      To find the truth, I tried many different things. If I think back to my upbringing, I find that when you are young and growing up, you rely on family and people you trust to help you find truth. You have to assume that much of what they tell you is true. But is it all true?

      I had another cousin, Jesus. When I was a child, he enjoyed making things up for the fun of it. I would ask something simple like, Can I turn on the TV? He would respond, No, the dog ate the cables, so it doesn’t work. I would believe it and start to do something else. A few minutes later, he would turn on the TV. I’d say, Hey! and he would reply, You can’t believe everything you hear. It was a good lesson to learn at such a young age.

      Lesson 2: Most Information Is a Matter of Perspective, Not Truth.

      Ultimately, when we are young, we do rely on family for basic truths. However, at some point, we may find ourselves outgrowing, or questioning, the truths they hold. To your family, subjects such as politics, religion, and even sports may have absolute truths behind them. Maybe they feel that there is one worthwhile religion, one worthwhile political party, and only one sports team worth rooting for. As I grew up, I came to find that believing in all the truths of one family couldn’t be the full truth. Of course, every family will have different beliefs and truths they hold, so which one is correct? Is there a final truth above all others? I’ll get back to this question a bit later.

      How did I go about pursuing truth? For many years, I spent much of my time in libraries reading. I read through books on various topics such as history, politics, psychology, biographies, and so on. In my younger years, I assumed that what I read was accurate. However, through time, I’ve come to think of most reading material as a matter of perspective. What you read or hear is mostly told by the perspective of a person who makes their own assumptions and who has their own belief system they bring along with them. It may seem strange to read this in a book yourself, but simply because something is written in text does not make it true. All this reading did help broaden my general knowledge, and it expanded my perspective by showing me how other people think—but in a sense, I was no closer to finding truth.

      Lesson 3: What Is True in One Case Often Fails to Be True in Another.

      I went through several years in my early twenties where I had the opinion that other people can make the hard mistakes for me. I don’t need to make their mistakes, I can just learn by observation or by listening to their stories and know what it is that I need to avoid. This turned out only to be partly true. It can be beneficial to be aware of what mistakes others have made in your field or in life generally. This can help you avoid major errors. However, things change. Perhaps something that is a mistake in one context or time period is actually the correct thing to do in another circumstance.

      For example, we all learn that lying is wrong from a young age. But most of us agree that a white lie, such as telling your grandmother that her new hairdo looks fantastic even
