The Algorithm of Your Life
Today I turned down a book I didn’t like. It’s called The Concise 48 Laws Of Power by Robert Greene and it didn’t resonate with me at all. After pushing through a couple of explanations of the ‘laws of power’ I fronted and looked at the International Bestseller sticker that’s printed on the book cover. […]
In Order To Get That, You Gotta Do This
I recently read an article in which Sahil Bloom talked about the taxes of life you need to metaphorically pay, to live your life at ease and most importantly, authentically. These were taxes like a period of loneliness to foster personal transformation, and boredom of routine that translates into long-term success*. If there was a […]
