Opening thoughts:

I believe I got this from a recommendation of a guest on the Tim Ferris podcast and maybe a couple of other places. Not sure what to expect, but since I’ve caught up with my book summaries, I finally have the spare time and capacity to read a non-fiction book for the first time in a while. This seems like a very thought-provoking book, and I like these kinds of books that have the potential to change the way I think or the way I see something. However, it felt like the perfect book to read for August as I was in a mental slump and needed something to refocus my mind and “change the way I think.”


Key notes:

  • If you want to change your life, change your beliefs
    • If you want to change your beliefs, go out and have experiences and make them real to you

Chapter 2: The Psychology of Daily Routine

  • Routine, in whatever form, is important because habitualness creates mood, and mood creates the nurture aspect of your personality
    • Most things that bring genuine happiness are not just temporary, immediate gratifications. And those things require sacrifice and come with resistance
  • Learn to make your conscious decisions dictate your day, not your fears or impulses
  • Routine gives us a sense of safety and purpose
    • Routine consistently reaffirms a decision we’ve already made as well as our ability to do it

Chapter 7: What the Feelings You Most Suppress Are Trying to Tell You

Closing thoughts:

While I thought this was a fantastic and very thought-provoking book, my biggest qualm was that it was dense with information and very hard to digest. I had to stop listening to the book periodically to let each chapter sink in. 101 chapters are a lot, and each chapter has several nuggets of wisdom. Whereas in a typical self-improvement book, you might only find 2-3 key takeaways.

I told several friends that listening to this book felt like drinking wisdom through a fire hose. It’s best to listen over a longer period of time. Or better yet, reading these book notes would save you a lot of time getting to the good stuff.

Honestly, I would have liked it to have a bit of narrative to let the “medicine go down” easier, but I think ultimately the book got the job done.


One Takeaway / Putting into practice:

If I’ve ever had a problem just choosing one takeaway from a book, this would be a clear first-place winner in being difficult. This book quite literally had over a hundred great takeaways, any of them with the potential to change someone’s life if they let it change the way they think.

If I had to choose one key idea for me to implement in my own life, it would be this:

  • Make a conscious effort to connect and reconnect with the people you already have in your life

I think this is the one thing I can focus on in the coming months to improve the quality of my life.


Nutshell:

Hundreds of ideas that will change the way you think.
