📚 My Favourite Reads of the Month
Inversion: The Crucial Thinking Skill Nobody Ever Taught You
”The Stoics believed that by imagining the worst case scenario ahead of time, they could overcome their fears of negative experiences and make better plans to prevent them. While most people were focused on how they could achieve success, the Stoics also considered how they would manage failure. What would things look like if everything went wrong tomorrow? And what does this tell us about how we should prepare today?”

“After dozens of gruelling hours of investigation, FiveThirtyEight can confirm that Punxsutawney Phil is a charlatan. A groundbreaking analysis has revealed the Pennsylvania-based groundhog who makes annual predictions about the arrival of spring is not nearly as reliable a prognosticator as those close to him claim.”

💬 My Favourite Words of Wisdom of the Month
💬 Quotes
Calmfident: calm and confident — Logan Ury 🔗 / Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal Interview on How To Become Better At Relationships
“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” - Zero waste advocate Anne-Marie Bonneau 🔗 / Dense Discovery

💬 Concepts & Definitions
“Instead of working back from a goal, work forward from promising situations. This is what most successful people actually do anyway. In the graduation-speech approach, you decide where you want to be in twenty years, and then ask: what should I do now to get there? I propose instead that you don't commit to anything in the future, but just look at the options available now, and choose those that will give you the most promising range of options afterward. It's not so important what you work on, so long as you're not wasting your time. Work on things that interest you and increase your options, and worry later about which you'll take.” 🔗 / Paul Graham Article
Moral licensing: the theory that when you do something good, you subconsciously feel that you’ve earned a license to then do something bad 🔗 / Mind Field Episode

🤔 My Favourite Mindsets of the Month
On how ideas are formed
The Hunch: an inkling about an idea or an initial thought about an idea and how it develops overtime. [9:24-13:47]
On being a generalist vs a specialist
On the topic of being a generalist vs a specialist: I really like the idea of being a specialist who is able to examine a generalist’s spectrum through their lens.
On niching down
Nice map metaphor for the benefits of niching down [51:30-53:12]
On antiquated futurism
Interesting idea of antiquated futurism. Ex, we might not feel the need to work on teleportation, because we’ll have digital & holographic teleportation instead.
