            Jeffrey Epstein was always well acquainted with success, wealth, and health. Even though most of his personal life is shrouded in mystery, we pored over court documents and archival data to discover these seven life-changing, psychology hacks to live like the international man of mystery.

• A Balanced 401k

It is no secret that Jeffrey Epstein was a whiz kid investor. Being born wealthy really helps with this one. The specifics of Epstein’s portfolio remain a mystery. But whatever he was invested in was valuable enough for Les Wexner, the owner of Victoria’s Secret, to gift him a multi-million-dollar home in Manhattan. Jeffrey also owned an island, Little Saint James, and a private jet nicknamed The Lolita Express. Ultimately, his work as a human trafficker proves that the most valuable investment you can make is in human life.

• Mindfulness Meditation

Jeffrey Epstein was a devout practitioner of Mindfulness Meditation, the Theravadin tradition of focusing one’s attention inward. His former servants recall several coworkers being fired for interrupting Mr. Epstein’s morning meditation. During his many court appearances, Jeffrey would use mindfulness techniques to remain calm in adverse situations.

• An Eight Hour Sleep Schedule

Despite a life full of travel, Epstein maintained a rigid sleep schedule of eight hours every night. No matter where he was in the world, Jeffrey would go to bed at midnight and rise at eight o’clock, day after day. A former employee claims to have been instructed to bring Mr. Epstein a virgin at 11 P.M. every evening and 8 A.M. every morning.

• The Finest Cocaine Money Can Buy

This should not come as a surprise. Because of his unique position as a sex trafficker for the rich and famous, Jeffrey needed to be a connoisseur of cocaine. It has been said that the drug lord, El Chapo, and the former President of Mexico frequently rode together on Epstein’s private jet. Needless to say, Jeffrey only ingested the finest cocaine, freshly distilled in bleach and gasoline.

• Daily Massages

Epstein had a team of ‘massage therapists’ go with him everywhere, overseen by Ghislaine Maxwell. Many of his housekeepers report being astounded by the number of massages Mr. Epstein would receive in one day. He did not stop at relieving his own stress. Jeffrey would share his personal massage therapists with friends and business associates.

• Be Likeable

Jeffrey is said to have had friends all over the world, in positions of power, and in the public eye. Easily and quickly making friends has long been regarded as a vital social skill. Epstein discovered social connections can take you a long way after he received a six-figure finance job at Bear Stearns without a college degree.

• Eating Adrenal Glands of Young Children

This is an unconfirmed accusation, according to Epstein and Maxwell’s lawyers. But several of Epstein’s victims, in addition to some former employees, have accused the mysterious millionaire of harvesting the adrenal glands of children. Consuming the adrenal gland of another human produces an otherworldly high, which is said to have revitalizing and anti-aging effects. Sadly, there is no legal route when it comes to procuring another human’s adrenal gland. So, Mr. Epstein and his band of fun-loving elites may have relied on unsavory methods to get their high.

            It takes real guts to live the way Jeffrey Epstein did. And that is why he lived— and died— as the wealthiest sex-offender this world has ever known. These psychology hacks might not make you an internationally wanted human-trafficker, but they will let you live a happier, healthier life.
