We partake in a frenzy of romantic consumerism where we are sometimes afraid to commit to the good for the fear of missing out on the perfect.”– Esther Perel * We have unrealistic expectations that our romantic partner can check every box… “an over-burdened system with an under-resourced reality” * This includes traditional expectations, like offering companionship, economic support, stable family life, and social status * Also includes more modern expectations, such as being your best friend, trusted confidant, intellectual equal, efficient co-parent, fitness buddy, professional coach, and personal development guru * Oh, and last but not least, being a passionate lover for the long haul (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/)Relationship Ecosystems: (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/) (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/) Relationships are not stories of two, they are an ecosystem * Family, friends, and mentors are all part of your relationship ecosystem (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/)Shadow People: (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/) (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/)People who are no longer alive or no longer in your life that affect your future emotions and behaviors, both positively and negatively * “I wish my mother was here to see this…” * “I let my ex get away with that, not this time…” * Self-awareness of shadow people is essential (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/)Being Stuck: (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/) (https://podcastnotes.org/rich-roll/reignite-your-relationship-esther-perel-on-desire-intimacy-sex-long-term-love-the-rich-roll-podcast/) You’re stuck in increasingly rapid cycles of blame and defense * Confirmation Bias: only regarding evidence that reinforces your belief * Fundamental Attribution Error: believing you are more complex than your partner * SOLUTION: write down everything your partner does that is for the good of the relationship ….

PN Deep Dive: Naval Ravikant's Guide to Wealth - Episodes 1-5
Get more notes at https://podcastnotes.org This podcast consists of a conversation between Naval Ravikant (https://twitter.com/naval?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) and Babak Nivi (https://twitter.com/nivi?lang=en) going over Naval’s famous How to Get Rich (https://twitter.com/naval/status/1002103360646823936) tweetstorm. Key Takeaways (https://podcastnotes.org/naval-periscope-sessions/naval-ravikant-podcast-every-episode/) * Wealth buys you freedom * EVERYONE can be rich * Aim to become so good at something, that luck eventually finds you * Over time, it isn’t luck – it’s destiny * You’re not going to get rich renting out your time * Aim to have a job, career, or profession where your inputs don’t match your outputs * People who are living far below their means enjoy a freedom that people busy upgrading their lifestyle just can’t fathom * Get rich by giving society what it doesn’t yet know how to get – at scale * The internet has massively broadened the space of possible careers * Whatever nice obsession you have, the internet allows you to scale it * Escape competition through authenticity * All the benefits in life come from compound interest * Whether it’s in relationships, life, your career, health, or learning * Pick people to work with who have high intelligence, high energy, and high integrity – you CANNOT compromise on this * Really successful people have an action bias * Arm yourself with specific knowledge * Specific knowledge is the stuff that feels like play to you but looks like work to others. It’s found by pursuing your innate talents, your genuine curiosity, and your passion. * Learning to build AND sell products is a superpower * Read what you love until you love to read * The 5 most important skills are reading, writing, arithmetic, persuasion, and computer programming * The number of iterations drives the learning curve * Get comfortable with frequent, small failures * If you’re willing to bleed a little bit every day, but in exchange, you win big later, you’ll be better off * Embrace accountability and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage * Product leverage is how fortunes will be made in the digital age – using things like code or media * Product and media leverage are permisionless – they don’t require someone else’s permission for you to use them or succeed * Wisdom is knowing the long-term consequences of your actions * Judgment is wisdom on a personal domain (wisdom applied to external problems) * The people with the best judgment are actually among the least emotional * Set and enforce an aspirational hourly rate * If you can outsource something for less than your hourly rate, outsource it * The hierarchy of importance: * What you work on * Picking the right people to work with * How hard you work * A busy calendar and a busy mind will destroy your ability to do great things in this world * Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true. * Reject most advice, but remember you have to listen to/read enough of it to know what to reject and what to accept * Your physical health, your mental health, and your relationships will most likely bring you more peace and happiness than any amount of money ever will * Productize yourself * Create a product out of whatever it is you do naturally and uniquely well * Being honest leaves you with a clear mind * “A lot of wisdom is just realizing the long-term consequences of your actions. The longer-term you’re willing to look, the wiser you’re going to seem to everybody around you.” – Naval Ravikant * Negotiations are won by whoever cares less Books Mentioned * Warren Buffet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett) once went to Benjamin Graham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Graham), author of The Intelligent Investor (https://amzn.to/2CFn1T9), and offered to work for him for free so he could learn about investing * It’s important that you read foundational things (the original books in a given field which are scientific in nature) * Instead of reading a random business book, read The Wealth of Nations (https://amzn.to/2FOZ0cR) by Adam Smith * Instead of reading a recent book on biology or evolution, read Darwin’s On The Origin of Species (https://amzn.to/2UturD0) * Instead of reading a recent biotech book, read The Eighth Day of Creation (https://amzn.to/2Ia7ZrY) * Another recommendation – Richard Feynman’s Six Easy Pieces (https://amzn.to/2Iaauuk) * Naval highly recommends Skin in the Game (https://amzn.to/2P9Pp4O) by Nassim Taleb * When Naval was younger, one of his favorite books was How to Get Rich (https://amzn.to/2YHM3JL) by Felix Dennis * To learn more about randomness, check out the highly recommended book – Fooled By Randomness (https://amzn.to/2QkZ1KC) by Nassim Taleb * The Almanac of Naval Ravikant (https://www.navalmanack.com/) Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status (Listen (https://podcastnotes.org/2019/03/02/naval-nivi-2/)) | Episode 1 * Having wealth means having assets that earn while you sleep * “The reason you want wealth is because it buys you freedom, so you don’t have to wear a tie like a collar around your neck, so you don’t have to wake up at 7 AM and rush to work in traffic, so you don’t have to waste away your entire life grinding all your productive hours away to a soulless job that doesn’t fulfill you.” – Naval Ravikant * Money is how we transfer wealth * “Money won’t solve all your problems, but it will solve all your money problems” – Naval Ravikant * Wealth is a positive-sum game and status is a zero-sum game Ethical Wealth Creation Makes Abundance for the World (Listen (https://podcastnotes.org/2019/03/09/naval-nivi-3/)) | Episode 2 * “What I am basically focused on is true wealth creation. It’s not about taking money. It’s not about taking something from somebody else. But it’s from creating abundance.” – Naval Ravikant * Basically all of the wealth society has today was created – we’re not still sitting around in caves figuring out how to divide pieces of firewood * “Everyone can be rich” – Naval Ravikant * In the First World, everyone is basically richer than almost anyone who was alive 200 years ago * Furthermore, it’s better to be poor today than it was to be the richest man 200 years ago * Here’s a thought experiment… * Imagine if every human had the knowledge of a good software engineer – just think what society would look like 20 years from now * We’d ALL be living in massive abundance Free Markets Are Intrinsic to the Human Species (Listen (https://podcastnotes.org/2019/03/10/naval-nivi-4/)) | Episode 3 * Capitalism is innate to the human species in every exchange we have * When two people are talking – there’s an information exchange * “The notion of exchange and keeping track of credits and debits – this is built into us as flexible social animals” – Naval Ravikant * Humans are the only animals in the animal kingdom that cooperate across genetic boundaries * Most animals don’t even cooperate – those that do cooperate only in packs or when they have some shared interest * What lets humans cooperate? * Keeping track of credits and debts – that’s free-market capitalism * “Everybody can be wealthy, everybody can be retired, everybody can be successful” – Naval Ravikant * It just comes down to education and desire * “If you get too many takers and not enough makers, society falls apart” – Naval Ravikant * This results in a communist country * Ex. – Venezuela Get the FULL NOTES at Podcastnotes.org.

The more of that you do, the happier you’re going to be.” – Laurie Santos Dopamine Must Be Earned, Not Given: “Be wary of any dopamine hit not preceded by effort to achieve it.” – Andrew Huberman Prediction error: Introverts predict social connection will be negative, when in actuality they get report a great experience; extroverts predict social connection will be ok, and anticipation is high Negativity bias: We’re built to notice the risky, potentially scary stuff; our brain goes there automatically which makes sense evolutionarily Toxic Positivity: The notion that something is wrong if you’re feeling anything but happy or ‘good vibes’; negative emotions are a cue from our body to take action in some direction to fix Dog vs. Cat People: If you crave unconditional love, you are probably more of a dog person; cats are more independent Hedonic adaptation: We get used to things; you can’t be happy all the time because you become sensitized * “Every good thing in life becomes boring after some time.” – Laurie Santos * Tip: Imagine the negative things and obstacles; use worse things as a comparison to realize how good things are – don’t ruminate on it but use your imagination to appreciate what you have * Tip #2: Space out positive experiences to come back to them over time Banister effect: Believe something is positive; be optimistic enough to think something is doable then ask yourself the question ‘what will get in the way?’ so you problem-solve Arrival fallacy: The idea, “I’ll be happy when…” – the thing we arrive at doesn’t feel as good once we get there and we chase the next thing Micky Malka – Building (https://podcastnotes.org/investors-field-guide/micky-malka-building-ribbit-invest-like-the-best-with-patrick-oshaughnessy-ep-400/)Ribbit (https://podcastnotes.org/investors-field-guide/micky-malka-building-ribbit-invest-like-the-best-with-patrick-oshaughnessy-ep-400/) (https://podcastnotes.org/investors-field-guide/micky-malka-building-ribbit-invest-like-the-best-with-patrick-oshaughnessy-ep-400/)| Invest Like the Best with Patrick O’Shaughnessy Ep. 400 (https://podcastnotes.org/history-102-with-rudyard-lynch-and-erik-torenberg/explaining-the-silk-road-history102-with-rudyard-lynch-and-erik-torenberg/) (https://podcastnotes.org/history-102-with-rudyard-lynch-and-erik-torenberg/explaining-the-silk-road-history102-with-rudyard-lynch-and-erik-torenberg/) (https://podcastnotes.org/history-102-with-rudyard-lynch-and-erik-torenberg/explaining-the-silk-road-history102-with-rudyard-lynch-and-erik-torenberg/) Life and business principles from Micky Malka: * 1. Never forget where you came from * 2. Fewer decisions is best * 3. Be genuine to yourself and those around you Lessons learned from the Robinhood saga * Being the CEO is a very lonely existence * Develop and craft a flexible mindset so that you can be comfortable taking risk * When you truly understand the variables at play, you will be more comfortable with taking ‘risk’ * Mistakes made in a single day can damage a company’s brand for years to come Technologies have their own grid complexes * The electrical grid consists of towers, power meters, transformers, and more * The internet is a grid of data and knowledge * The monetary system has its own grid as well, consisting of the different financial layers and rails which include Visa, Mastercard, SWIFT, etc Stablecoins: US dollar stablecoins are travel checks in today’s world; they are instant dollars that the individual can control and move, anytime, and for zero * Stablecoins provided people with access to US dollars who previously did not have access to dollars and who were forced to use their local (and weaker) fiat currency * Today, US-dollar stablecoins do a similar monthly volume to that of Visa and Mastercard What Got You Here, Won't Get You There: Burn the bridge that got you here; whatever got you here will not get you to the next phase Get the full notes at Podcastnotes.org (http://Podcastnotes.org) Thank you for subscribing.

#780 - Tim Ferriss - The Lessons, Hacks & Books That Changed My Life
Published 12 May 2024 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And the same thing happens with Internet. You know, I'll unfriend you. I'll block you. You're basically deleted from my life. I don't think that that's a particularly evolutionarily adaptive way to use the mechanisms that we have for social support well. I would add to that, just thinking of the quote that you read earlier about the freedom to work anywhere, anytime, often meaning that you end up working all places, all the time. The most under... emphasized chapter in the four-hour workweek is the filling the void chapter, which people tend to skip over. So I'll get to that later. And the gist of that is, I suppose, an underlying assumption, which I happen to think is correct, and that is that the positive does not take care of itself. […]
