50 Ideas That Can Change Your Life
Hello Hello,
How have you been?
Sometimes it's hard to speak up when you disagree with what everyone else is saying.
Everyone is afraid of being different.
Even if you think you're being bold or brave by saying something unpopular, chances are you're just coming across as abrasive or rude.
In today's newsletter, I share David Perell's 50 Ideas That Can Change Your Life.
David recommends these principles for making the most of your intellectual life.
Here are a few of my favorites:
29. Occam’s Razor: If there are multiple explanations for why something happened and they are equally persuasive, assume the simplest one is true. In the search for truth, remove unnecessary assumptions. Trust the lowest-complexity answer.
31. Hormesis: A low dose of something can have the opposite effect of a high dose. A little bit of stress wakes you up, but a lot of stress is bad for you. Lifting weights for 30 minutes per day is good for you, but lifting weights for 6 hours per day will destroy your muscles. Stress yourself, but not too much.
46. Via Negativa: When we have a problem, our natural instinct is to add a new habit or purchase a fix. But sometimes, you can improve your life by taking things away. For example, the foods you avoid are more important than the foods you eat.
I hope they encourage you to be curious.
