📚Book Review (THREAD)

Here are some lessons I learned from reading this book:

Can't Hurt Me, by #DavidGoggins

Thread (1/10)

1. It doesn’t always go your way

Life won’t always go your way, so if you start thinking that it will, you’ll be disappointed and less effective

Instead of focusing on what you think you deserve, figure out what u want and be willing to pay the dues required to get it

2/10

2. The 40% rule

When your mind is telling you that you’re done, completely exhausted and not able to go any further, you’re only at about 40% of your potential

Keep fighting when you feel like you’re done, and that’s when you unlock the remaining 60% of your potential

3/10

3. No one is going to help you

Don’t wait for someone else to help you.

If it’s your dream, it’s on YOU. If you wait, you’ll be waiting until you’re on your deathbed if you don’t take action.

4/10

4. Callous your mind

When you’re ready to quit, stay the course. See how far you can go.

This will help you when things get tough. You’ll learn to work hard even when you don’t want to. That will pay off on your path.

10 Top Lessons From "The Dip"
✍️A book by @ThisIsSethsBlog

📚Book Summary (THREAD)

1. Be the Best

🥇Anyone who is going to hire you, buy from you, or do what you want them to do is going to wonder if you’re the BEST choice.

BEST: Best for them, right now, based on what they believe and what they know

THE WORLD: Their world, the world they have access to

2 . Quitting Is Not Failure

If you are not going to be the best, then you should just QUIT.

Quitting, in some scenarios, is actually essential for freeing up resources to get through the dips that matter.

This means you only have two options in life:
Quit or be Exceptional.

To become the best, you must understand these three curves:

3. The Cul De Sac:

1️⃣This first curve is where you work and work and work… but nothing changes. It doesn’t get a lot better; it doesn’t get a lot worse… it just is what it is.

Whenever you find one of these...

...you need to get off it fast.

The opportunity cost of investing your life in something that’s not going to get better is just too high.

1. We think we are experiencing reality but what we are really experiencing is our thinking.

2. The most important choice you make is what you choose to make important.

3. If we really want something, there is always a way.

4. What we decide is less important then how we respond to life.

5. Our intuition already knows what we want to do but we create reasons to keep us locked out.

6. Every emotion we feel is a response to a thought, not an event.

7. Your day doesn’t create your mood, your mood creates your day.

8. When you feel a sense of urgency, it’s usually a better idea to slow down.

9. No Matter what seems to be going on, you don’t have to do anything. Being overwhelmed is just a thought.

10. Everything we do or don’t do is simply a choice. To do more, use a system of clarity, structure and boldness of action.

12 Top Lessons From "Deep Work"
A Book by #CalNewport

📙Book Summary (THREAD)

1. Deep Work

This is similar to the "flow" state that many psychologists references.

Newport defines deep work as, "the professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that pushes your cognitive capabilities to their limit".

Deep vs. Shallow:

2. Only Four Hours

Newport states that you can only do about four hours of deep work every day.

This isn’t a matter of concentration or practice; it’s a matter of human biology and psychology.

Think of your mind as a muscle. You can Stretch it to the theoretical 4 hour limit.

3. Deep Workers Win

Deep work consistently provides better results & a more excellent portfolio of work than traditional labor and strategies.

Emphasizing deep work and doing all you can to make this time as productive as possible will yield fantastic dividends in the long run

4. The Maker is Becoming More Important

Newport suggests that culture is shifting to celebrate the "maker" or the deep thinker.

This trend is most visible within pop-culture and content creation as people find their unique voices and reach wider audiences.

2 weeks ago, I started reading "Fooled by Randomness" by Nassim Taleb.

WOW, It's been mindblowing!

Thanks to @dvassallo 's recommendation.

Inside, there's a part he talks about how to deal with volatility.

Here’s 6 big lessons that are useful in the current market crash:

Lesson #1:
Negative emotions of seeing your stocks drop > Positive emotion from seeing your stocks rise.

"A negative pang is not offset by a positive one...

Some psychologists estimate the negative effect for an average loss to be up to 2.5 the magnitude of a positive one)...

... At the end of every day the dentist will be emotionally drained.

If the unpleasurable minute is worse in reverse pleasure than the pleasurable minute is in pleasure terms, then the dentist incurs a large deficit when examining his performance at a high frequency."

Lesson #2:
When we zoom out and check the prices less frequently, we are less affected by negative emotions.

Because over a longer time horizon, the market tends to rise more than it goes down.

10 Life-changing Lessons From the Book “The Art of the Good Life”

⚡️Book Review⚡️

- By Million-selling author of The Art Of Thinking Clearly

1. Peak-end Rule:

You remember the high point and the end point of your holiday, but the rest is forgotten.

👉Remind to make them as sweet as possible.

2. Plans are nothing. Planning is everything.

A good life is not a stable state or condition.

👉The good life is only achieved through constant readjustment.

3. Inflexibility as a Stratagem

When it comes to important issues, flexibility isn’t an advantage – it’s a trap.

👉Use radical inflexibility to reach long-term goals that would be unrealizable if their behavior were more flexible.

4. Reality Doesn’t Care About Your Feelings

👉Accepting reality is easy when you like what you see, but you’ve got to accept it even when you don’t – especially when you don’t.
