Loved the book which had a ton of entrepreneurial angles (later in the book).
Very true, but there is also some subjectivity to what constitutes "surrender."
Just to give you an example ...
Arizona just raised state income taxes by 77% on high income earners.
Before this law was passed, I was already considering moving out of state. However once I learned about this law potentially passing, I reasoned, "If the law passes, I will move"-- I'll let "life" decide.
Sure enough, it passed. So now I'm moving.
So one might say I let "whatever happens" dictate what I do.
The other subjective aspect of this is to posit that NOT MOVING is to surrender, to stay put and pay the tax.
All in all, you really don't know which choice is the true "surrender".
Surrendering does not mean to give up, or to relinquish control. It means to CONSIDER what life is throwing at you as a possible alternative.
There is a natural tension when I read stuff like this because it seems counter-intuitive to how an entrepreneur should act
