10 Powerful Lessons of the book “The Art of Thinking Clearly”

| Thread 🧵

 1. Never underestimate the hard work and lower probability of success, just because we are shown more successful people than many more actual failures.
It does not mean, in any way, that you should not dream big. It just says that dont get overawed by the number of success stories you read and assume that success would be easy. No one prints the failure stories.
2. Confirmation bias is the mother of all misconceptions.

It is a tendency to interpret new information so that it becomes compatible with our existing theories.
Warren Buffet has seen people losing money with this because they ignore facts which contradict the theory in the mind of the investor.

Dis-confirming evidence must be seeked out to beat this theory.
3. If you ever find yourself in a tight unanimous group, you must speak your mind, even if your team does not like it, and even if it means risking expulsion from the warm nest.
And if you lead a group, appoint someone as devil's advocate.

He or she will not be the most popular member of the team, but definitely the most important.
4. Induction

Send an email to 10,000 people with stock market prediction by dividing them into 2 groups - telling reverse prediction to each group. Prediction for one of the groups will come true.
Send a new prediction to the 5,000 whom you predicted correctly earlier - again after dividing them into 2 groups...carry on like this, and the last 100 would consider you as a genius. People get inducted into a decision based on history without thinking logically.
5. Loss Aversion

The fear of losing something motivates people more than the prospect of gaining something of equal value.
6. Compounding

When it comes to compounding, dont trust your intuition - you have no idea how powerful it is.
7. It is not what you say, but how you say, that's important.

99% Fat Free product seems more healthy than a product with 1% Fat.
8. If you are not a part of the solution, you are definitely a part of the problem.

There is no 3rd category of passive onlookers.
9. Follow your passion even if you have to do away with part of your income for that
10. Whenever you are dealing with averages, be careful of the distribution behind it.

A Bill Gates monthly income in a group of 50 ordinary citizens can give an extremely misleading average.

15 Life Changing Insights from Swami Vivekananda

| Thread 🧵


1. We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

- Swami Vivekananda

2. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.

Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.

This is the way to success.

- Swami Vivekananda

3. You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

- Swami Vivekananda

4. You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

- Swami Vivekananda

A thread on the snippets (paragraphs & quotes) from the book ‘Why We Sleep’ by Matthew Walker 💤

One third of our lives, better read about it.

This thread will be updated as I read further & further.


1/ “Two-thirds of adults throughout all developed nations fail to obtain the recommended eight hours of nightly sleep.”

Imagine if you don’t have that rare ‘short sleep’ genes 🧬 that allows you to do will less than 5 hours of sleep 🛌.

2/ It’s going to get ugly.


3/ Pandemic.


4/ Why to learn about sleep.

Top 10 Lessons From the Book: "Skin in the Game"

By Nassim Nicholas Taleb

📘Book Summary


1. "Talk is cheap."

Stop talking about doing things and actually DO THEM.

This world desperately needs courageous individuals, who will take action on their dreams.

Be that person.

2. "Experience vs. Theory."

"We are much better at doing than understanding."

Experience is your best teacher.

We as humans are meant to be DOING THINGS.

Not just theorizing about stuff all day.

3. "Yes or No?"

Every decision can be simplified down to either being for or against something.

No matter the sophistication of the situation, try to boil it down to a simple "YES" or "NO"

4. "Dominance of the Minority."

Most people are passive and don't care enough to debate topics.

This is how books get banned for example.

All it takes is a small minority who are really stubborn to move the needle.

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.


And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.


Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.


He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.


He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.
