Here’s what I’ve learned in the last 30 years. They’re the most useful things I know, and my life is better when I don’t forget them.

most of us are going to live a mediocre life and die without ever pursuing the thing that would make us feel alive.

Tolstoy wrote that he couldn’t understand, “how some people can live without communicating with the wisest people who ever lived on earth.” That’s what a good book is, the chance to learn from the wisest who’ve ever lived.

There’re a few minutes of fogginess and by the time we hit the shower, our mind starts to come alive. Running through what we have to do today, what we forgot to do yesterday and the way someone wronged us five years ago.

So much of our anxiety stems from wanting something we’re making no effort towards achieving. We want a six pack, but we had donuts for breakfast. We want to be a writer, but we don’t write.

Your following of the news and keeping up with every current event has no impact on the world. It contributes and changes nothing.

Reading is a way of borrowing the best of what other people have already figured out. It’s the life hack no one talks about.

A lot of people read. Not a lot of people remember what they read. The knowledge you retain compounds.
