How strongly I recommend it: 10/10

10 Take Aways

  1. Investing focused effort in one area yields much greater returns than spreading yourself thin.

  2. Most people fail to truly commit daily, which is why simple, consistent effort wins.

  3. Take feedback from those whose incentives align with your success and who have domain expertise.

  4. Use advice selectively, apply what fits your context and discard what doesn’t. 

  5. Ask what successful people did when where you are now, not what they are doing now.

  6. Success often leads people to sacrifice their passions and enjoyable activities unknowingly. 

  7. The greatest skill is to maintain a good mood without external reasons.

  8. Complaining results from an inaccurate model of reality and unmet expectations.

  9. Reframe inconvenience as a normal life occurrence to reduce pain and stress.

  10. Playing out feared worst-case scenarios often reveals they are survivable and manageable.
