Your back hurts because you keep the same posture even when your body tells you not to.
When you have a job, and say work for 3-4 hours, your body will tell you to stop and do something else for a couple hours. But you can’t cause life.
The ergonomic stuff are fulfilling their purpose by giving you a decent posture, your just holding it too long.
This is also why being rich would be a solution, even those who are rich but work, they aren’t working 40 hours every week nonstop. It’s also why they are so keen that “golf meetings” are so effective.
About the golf meetings:
I made up a story around it. Basically, golf is a metaphor for business (and sex, now that i think about it). You gotta get the ball (yourself) into the hole (your target). Sometimes, you can't do it in one step, so you require multiple steps to approach your goal. In any case, you take big steps in the beginning, and then as you get closer you need to become more gentle and delicate to not miss the perfect spot.
