Anderson Cooper uses Soylent drinks as meal replacements because of his hectic schedule, and when he's not at work he unwinds in his $5million converted firehouse in New York City's West Village.

The host of CNN's nightly news show, Anderson Cooper 360, also moonlights as a correspondent for CBS' 60 Minutes.

In addition, he recently unveiled a new series on Facebook, Full Circle.

Cooper has also teamed up with good friend Andy Cohen for a live road show titled AC²: Deep Talk and Shallow Tales.

He says he prefers to keep busy because he's 'not good at decompressing.'

'I am not good at, like, sitting on a beach,' Cooper told The Hollywood Reporter.

His work as a high-profile journalist has taken him to Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seoul, Brazil, Helsinki, Singapore, and Washington, DC - and that's just in the last two months.

'I feel lucky to travel the world and tell stories,' Cooper told THR.

'I come back from a weekend and I feel transformed.

'And then I'll ask my friend, 'What did you do this weekend?' And they'll say, 'I saw a movie'.'

Cooper says the non-stop breaking news that has been a staple of the Trump era has kept him on his toes - and he would not have it any other way.

'I'd rather be working than doing anything else,' he said.

'It's like riding the breaking wave of history.'

Cooper is so busy that he doesn't feel the need to sit down for a regular meal.

Instead, he relies on coffee-flavored Soylent drinks, which he keeps in a refrigerator inside his seventh-floor office at CNN headquarters in New York City.

'I don't care about food,' he said.

'So I'm trying to replace all food with this because it would be, like, three fewer decisions in a day.'

Cooper's eating style did not sit well with his late friend, Anthony Bourdain.

'We had lunches together and he would just look at me like I was a creature from another planet,' he said.

'Everything I thought about food was completely antithetical to his beliefs.'

Bourdain, the host of the popular food and travel show Parts Unknown, was found dead after apparently hanging himself in a hotel in France this past June.

The loss of loved ones has been a constant theme in Cooper's life.

When Cooper was 10, his father, screenwriter Wyatt Cooper, died during open-heart surgery.

His older brother, Carter, committed suicide by jumping from his mother's terrace. He was just 23 years old.

Cooper said that these experiences drew him to begin his journalism career in war-torn places like Rwanda and Somalia because the people there 'spoke the language of loss.'

Cooper also revealed that he started to host the annual New Year's Eve broadcasts because of how close his father's death was to that day on the calendar.

'My dad died five days after New Year's Eve, on January 5th in 1978, and I remember that New Year's Eve, watching with my brother and it was very scary because my dad was in the hospital and I was 10 and …' Cooper says as his voice trails off.

'So anyway, I started volunteering to work.'

At the end of a recent episode of Full Circle on Facebook, Cooper was asked by a viewer how he balances life on-air and off-air.

'I don't really have a life off-air,' Cooper replied. 'It all blends together.'
