A guide to wealth, judgment, and happiness
Money buys time and freedom; status is a zero-sum game. Build assets that earn while you sleep so your life is no longer rented from an employer.
Compounding interest works in business, money, and relationships. Pick partners and projects you can stick with for decades — most rewards come at the end of the curve.
Find what feels like play to you but looks like work to others. That edge — built on genuine curiosity — cannot be outsourced or copied at scale.
Take risks under your own name. Accountability multiplies leverage and trust, and the upside of being publicly right is far larger than the downside of being publicly wrong.
Code and media are permissionless leverage — they work for you 24/7 with no marginal cost. A single laptop can now do what a thousand factory workers once did.
Time-for-money jobs cap your upside. Move toward work where one good decision today still pays you years from now.
Pick a rate so high it makes you uncomfortable, then ruthlessly outsource or skip anything below it. Your time is the only truly non-renewable resource you own.
There are no shortcuts to deep thinking, but the path is enjoyable if you start with the books you actually want. The genius in the library beats the guru on stage.
It's the absence of unwanted desire — not the presence of more stuff. Each desire you pick up is a contract to be unhappy until you get it.
Every want is a self-imposed deficit. Pick one big desire at a time and accept that the others must wait or fade.
Where you live, who you spend time with, and what you do — these compound for decades. Get them right and small daily choices barely matter.
Survivorship bias and ego dominate the advice industry. The best wisdom comes from those still in the arena, packaged for themselves first.
Most errors come from emotion and bias, not lack of intelligence. Calm down, define your terms, and reason from first principles.
We carry old narratives that keep us from acting fresh. Drop the story of who you were yesterday and you become free to choose now.
An empty calendar is the highest-status asset of all. Saying no protects the deep work that actually moves the needle.
Honesty is a long-term reputation play. Speak hard truths kindly and you become someone whose endorsement actually means something.
These three protect the only vehicle you'll ever own. Skipping them to work harder is borrowing from a future you'll have to pay back with interest.
No one can compete with you on being you. Specialise so deeply in your own quirks that the market has to come to you.
