Arthur Brooks practices metaphysical fitness through daily mass, which helps transcend self-focus and manage negative affect.

“The second is my metaphysical fitness, which is the second technique for managing negative affect, but it's also really personally important to me. I go to mass every day. I go to church every day because I'm a Catholic. It's the most important thing in my life. Now, I also work I've studied vaposa meditation and stoic philosophy. Everybody's got to find their thing, something that they actually practice, which is a form of transcendence to transcend yourself, to actually be focused on things greater than yourself every single day.”
