    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Just finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I was floored. I have never ever in my life read something so good. Sanderson's writing is vibrant and feels almost cinematic as he takes you from one plot twist to the next. I like to indulge in some SF/Fantasy at times. I was an early...

    Beginner's guide to setting up a Linux machine

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    It's a bit out of left field but check out any book by Michael Bazzell - inteltechniques.com and especially his book on how to take back your privacy. This guy used to do open source investigations (OSINT) for the FBI for more than 20 years and he's become EXTREMELY paranoid about privacy. He...

    The Tesla and Electric Car Money-Saving Scam

    HOT! 
    Something I didn't see getting mentioned anywhere is tax deductibility. Where I live - a fully electric car is 100% tax-deductible, whereas my current diesel car 50%. They are also exempt from road tax (1000€/year) and registration tax. Plus the government is subsidizing your charging...

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm starting to think it is possible to plot down a formula for guaranteed success in business. But even with the formula in hand - you have to see the light first. The rock-bottom FU point MJ describes in his books. It's about having the correct mindset and focus. 1. Focus on creating...

    Whenever I feel the urge to log into my World of Warcrack account again I remember Naval Ravikant's quote: "Play stupid games - win stupid prizes"

    I've heard very good things about Fluent Forever And if you're looking for inspiration: there's this YouTube channel by an American guy that has learned to speak perfect Chinese (including some exotic accents) and he goes around Chinatown shocking the locals :)

    Do we really need to a million books just to be wealthy?

    HOT! 
    I've read hundreds of business books - listened to podcasts - watched video courses .. you name it. I read them because they looked interesting or because they were at the top of some "best of" list. The problem with that is that you don't really absorb all that information - there's only so...

    Great work and really enjoying the podcasts ... it's like my little pocket mentor to carry around. Really good content. BTW how great of a name would "pocket mentor" be for a podcast. If you would push me to say something negative ... as a European your intro is very "American". It sounds like...

    I suck. (Can you help someone out of a rut?)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    To be honest, your opening post really annoyed me. All that negativity, risk averseness, and especially your lack of self-esteem. It annoys me because this was me 15 years ago. I was raised in a household where negativity was the norm. It's just like that - my dad especially looks at life as a...

    Late to the party

    INTRO 
    Great to see the progress, Flint. I would say : focus on creating value and helping other people. Going fastlane is scary if you've been in the slowlane for so long. I can relate. It is akin to sitting in a plane with a parachute strapped on - terrified and not knowing if it will open and you...

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    As something that has struggled with this as well, let me give my two cents here. I have a problem with the whole - "smash your console"-mindset. This is like an alcoholic smashing the whiskey bottles he has at his home. That does not solve your problem. Short term yes. Long term- you're still...

    Quarantine Fitness - What's Your Routine?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I am very happy with the Freeletics app. I get up at 5 in the morning - just like when I do when I do get to go out of the house and I open the app and start whatever is on my plate that day. I'm usually still half asleep at that point - but it's important just to start. That's half the battle.
