Jack Dorsey hacks his mind
Jack Dorsey went on his first 10-day silent retreat in 2018 and goes on one every year. He practices Vipassana daily.

Hear from Sathya Peri
Sathya Peri first learned about Vipassana in 2017, then again randomly (or not so randomly) in Bangalore a year later, then he saw Jack's Twitter thread on the experience of a 10-day silent retreat.
He went on his first Vipassana silent retreat in May of 2019, then in Nov 2020, and served on a 10-day in Nov 2021. He will be attending his 4th Vipassana at end of the month. He has spoken about Vipassana while he worked at Tulip Interfaces and Gather Town and both crowds enjoyed it. He practices Vipassana Meditation daily.
He quotes, "It is transformational, to say the least. I am more aware of my cravings, and my distractions, and above all face my fears head-on. With daily tasks, I am able to get into the weeds while still observing from 30,000 feet and connect the dots."
If you don't believe you can stay silent for 10 days, you're wrong. You most definitely can, greatness is within you.
There will be light snacks!
