Hi friend!

Here's something for you to...

1) watch.

Ego Is The Enemy Summarized by Ryan Holiday (In less Than 5 Minutes)

image


A quick video on one of the most useful concepts we face.



2) read.

Revisiting "The 4-Hour Workweek"

image


One of my favorite authors (Cal Newport) on one of the most impactful books I've ever read (The 4-Hour Workweek).


The main theme: the shift in our working culture in what 'success' means. It used to mean money. Now it means freedom.



3) use.

The Advice Monster quiz

image

I just read The Advice Trap by Michael Stanier. It humbled me.


It's about our tendency to default to giving advice. This 4-minute quiz helps pinpoint the kind of advice-giver many of us are.



4) listen to.

Why following your dreams is ruining your life

Probably the most useful and refreshing video I've watched this year.

Quotes.

“It’s not to say that holding political beliefs is wrong—it’s just that politics are naturally reductive, and the world is infinitely complex.”

-Rolf Potts


“When we presume to lie for the benefit of others, we have decided that we are the best judges of how much they should understand about their own lives—about how they appear, their reputations, or their prospects in the world.”

-Sam Harris


“Yeah, but we didn’t ask you to reinvent Sméagol.”

-Reba Day
