>He’s the Steve Balmer of Google No, he isn't. However misguided and ridiculous Balmer was, he at least showed that he was fully alive [1] Sundar wouldn't be caught dead wearing a sweaty shirt or yelling on a stage. The dude is a fucking wax puppet. [1] [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Have you considered that your definition of "high level of energy" and other people's may not be the same? For example Ballmer's famous Developers Developers Developers speech[0] is NOT my "high energy" and in fact if I ever had that much "energy" I'd consider myself to be having an emotional breakdown. My "high energy" is: zero brain-fog, good mental acuity, and not feeling sluggish. I've found light fasting to help with that (e.g. only eating dinners). But it isn't really clear what you're trying to achieve and or what success would look like. [0] [VIDEO]
