Hell Yeah or No

Yes, would rec.

My longlist:

  • start doing what I claim I want to do or stop lying to myself p8
  • Why am I doing? Keep my goal top of mind. Optimise for it p11
  • Actions show the world who you are, and the world treats you by your actions p28
  • Empty time has the potential to be filled with great things. P42
  • The standard pace is for chumps p47
  • Don't be a donkey p65
  • Admit you're still learning - assume you're below average p68
  • When you're wrong you're taken somewhere unexpected. You learn something new. Appreciate being wrong p71
  • Everybody's ideas seem obvious to them p81
  • Balance happy / smart / useful
  • Don't start a business until people are asking you to p93
  • Parenting is for you as much as them p94
  • To get smarter you need to get surprised, think in new ways, understand new perspectives p108
  • To make a change you have to feel like you're over compensating. Really, you're just balancing p112
  • If a goal doesn't change your actions now, it's not a good goal. Find a new variant that excites you p121
  • Breath out. Inspiration is not receiving information, it's applying it p123
  • Whatever scares you - go do it p126
