1/ Habits of Titans: Daily mindfulness/meditation, men tend to skip breakfast, use a Chilipad/OOLER (code PodcastNotes 15 for 15% off an OOLER), read: Sapiens, Poor Charlie’s Almanac, Influence, Man’s Search for Meaning (US links), listen to single songs on repeat to focus, believe that failure is not durable – Tim Ferriss

2/ Avoiding Risk is a Risky Strategy: “People who avoid risk or accountability won’t build wealth” – Naval

3/ The Machines at the Gym Weren’t Helping Anyway: Free weights are superior to machines – don’t limit range of motion, more versatile. Aim for 90% free weight, 10% machine – Mind Pump

4/ Dogs Over Humans?: “I’m empathetic towards almost every dog, but not any person”. You feel bad for a dog in the rain because it’s innocent when you see a person in the rain, you think what did they do to wind up that way? – Stephen Dubner

5/ More Muscle May Hurt: “The assumption that being more muscular is going to automatically make you better at a thing is a false assumption. Try to find movements with the highest degree of positive transfer to the skill you want to improve” – Alexander Cortes

6/ You Are What You Eat: “If you eat, invest, and think according to what the “news” advocates, you’ll end up nutritionally, financially, and morally bankrupt” - Naval

7/ There Are No Adults: My one repeated learning in life: “There are no adults. Everyone’s making it up as they go along. Figure it out yourself, and do it” - Naval

8/ Seek Out Struggle: “People get raised in a bubble that gets too soft. You should cultivate a relationship with struggle; fearing struggle won’t make your problems disappear and will probably make them worse” – Royce Gracie

9/ Google Knows You Better Than Your Spouse: “Google has a better sense of what we prefer than our partners. We’re offloading more and more of our decisions to these algorithms” – Jack Dorsey

10/ See Beyond Average: “You go to school, you get an average education. You get an average job. You live in an average neighborhood. You live an average amount of time. And the world is populated with average people.” – George Raveling

11/ Breaking Bad: “I’ve really come to believe that very few white-collar crimes or stories of business gone wrong, are done by people who deliberately set out to deceive other people. Usually, it’s an odd mixture of rationalization, arrogance, greed, and ego” – Bethany McLean

12/ Live Well, Not Stay Alive Sick: “The key to living longer is delaying the onset of chronic disease…not living longer with the chronic disease” – Dr. Peter Attia

13/ Pink Slime – Low Fat: Pink slime – was originally a benefit to the beef industry because it allowed them to say they were offering consumers leaner meat – in line with the guidelines – Adele Hite

14/ The Obstacle Is the Way: “There’s freedom [in] limitations. It’s almost more freeing to know I’ve got to use only these items…you’re almost completely free with that.” – Robert Rodriquez

15/ PTSD Game Changer: After suffering for an average of 17.8 years, 56% of patients no longer required treatment for PTSD after two months of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy – Rick Doblin
