Bill Ackman: The Biggest Fight of His Life

Shane Parrish: How do you keep your mind in a healthy place? Like what do you do to keep your head right? 

Bill Ackman: I play tennis almost every morning or do some form of exercise. I think that’s probably the most important thing I do because it’s the one thing I do over the course of the day where I’m completely focused on the ball that’s coming at me as opposed to whatever else is going on. So I think that is a really important form of meditation for me.
