    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    When it comes to self-help books, you want to focus on books that provide actionable steps as opposed to just talk. The other thing to know is that there is a small set of core books that are valuable, and the rest are just hashes of that. My current reading list: The Magic of Thinking Big...

    I hope you all fail.

    You misunderstand my point. The fact that Usain had a coach, the fact that Musk had funding from his father are good things, not excuses. These men took and take calculated risks, they don't needlessy suffer, they don't force themselves to desperation or bankruptcy. They take risks that are...

    Yep, but he's had a coach since high school, and he has a relatively strict diet and workout plan. He suffers, yes, but he doesn't lose it all, he takes calculated risks. You both suffer from survivor bias. You're paying attention to your own success while ignoring the myriad of people who...

    Create a start-up while employed? or focus resources on start-up?

    EXECUTION 
    If this is your first startup, statisically, you're going to fail. Failure is most definitely an option in entrepeneurship, and in fact, should be expected and prepared for. The important things are learn what you can, keep going, and avoid desperation.

    WTF does Tai Lopez do?

    That's part of what he does, he also provides access to a large market segment to his advertisters.

    Create a start-up while employed? or focus resources on start-up?

    EXECUTION 
    @David Young has the correct answer, can you afford not to work? If so, it's better for you to devote your energy to your business. I'd add in one more question, what's your back up plan? If the business takes longer to take off or completely fails, what will you do?

    Greed is Good

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Avarice vs. greed. If you let your greed eclipse your concern for your fellow man, then it becomes bad.

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    People are scared of their inner monsters for some good reasons; very few people have the ability to control it, and there's a risk they would go full on and hurt themselves or someone they love. Using anger to motivate yourself is a like using fire to clear out brush from a forest. It's...

    https://justinjackson.ca/desperation/ I haven't read this post all the way through, but for the love of God, people need to stop fetishizing desperation and failure. In some rare cases, it can be the motivation that someone needs in order to make a breakthrough, but more often than not, it...

    Work life balance myth.

    MINDSET 
    Most people tend to implicitly put in the word "positive" in front of the term role model; I personally think that leads to hero worship. (A role model is just an example of behavior.) I'm not disagreeing with you about Musk's impact, I just think it's important to look the whole person, and not...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    It's easier to build a car or a house from scratch because those devices have standards and guidelines that must be followed to the detriment of the company. Only in very rare instances do those rigorous standards apply to software. Just think what would happen if we build cars like we did...

    Which job should I have in order to create my fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    It's not bad to work for someone else. That notion I think needs to be dispelled. It's not the optimal path for a Fastlane, but it's not bad. The best job is one that pays your bills, and still leaves you with the emotional and mental energy at the end to be able to work on your own ideas. If...

    Work life balance myth.

    MINDSET 
    As @petkovic mentioned, the question is whether Musk considers the things he gave up as sacrifices. In some aspects, Musk is a positive role model, in other areas (hs first marriage) he's a negative role model. He's human after all. Counterpoint, if you had a cushy job you enjoyed most of...

    The Official Robert Greene Thread

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Even though I edited, I've been rereading Cell by Stephen King, and one of the comments in the book is that our prime directive as humans is murder. We became the apex predator for Earth because our brains and tool making abilities enabled us to kill anything that got in our way. We are after...

    The Official Robert Greene Thread

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm impressed. One man is directly responsible for starting one of the bloodiest conflicts in history? That's some influence he had. Seriously, WWII had many causes, chiefly among them the unresolved issues from WWI, which in turn had roots in previous conflicts. If Hitler hadn't read...

    How to Look more Professional !

    PEOPLE 
    It's not a foregone conclusion, but researchers call this embodied cognition. Basically, our cognition (which includes our self-view and feelings on that) is influenced by external factors. Holding a warm cup in your hands, for example, has a tendency to make you feel warmer emotions to anyone...

    WTF: Robert Greene's writing in "The 50th law" is insufferable

    BOOKS 
    I'm reflecting on the laws of setting up a fall guy and keeping people in suspended terror. Those laws will do a lot to harm your reputation and make people not trust you (I know he offers various warnings about those 2). I do, I think I worded it wrong. The fables are illustrations of his...
