"Really enjoying this on Kindle so far. It’s refreshingly direct, using interactive tests to keep the concepts sharp. I’m planning to dive into the supplemental video links once I finish the chapters." — Apr 20, 2026 08:00AM

"Finally tracked down a copy of this after a recommendation from a colleague! It’s a total departure from my usual genre, but the gamified storytelling makes it incredibly hard to put down." — Apr 20, 2026 07:59AM

Palheiro cottages These traditional thatched cottages are still in use in the Santana region.
“Socially, we’re told, “Go work out. Go look good.” That’s a multi-player competitive game. Other people can see if I’m doing a good job or not. We’re told, “Go make money. Go buy a big house.” Again, external multiplayer competitive game. Training yourself to be happy is completely internal. There is no external progress, no external validation. You’re competing against yourself—it is a single-player game.”

“You probably don't want maximum effectiveness.
For example, the most effective way to make money likely requires a lifestyle you don't want to live. Instead, you want the most effective path that fits your desired lifestyle.
How do you want to spend your days? Start there, then optimize.”

“Anger is a result of life alienated thinking that is disconnected from needs. It indicates that we have moved up to our head to analyse and judge somebody rather than focus on which of our needs is not being met.”

“Three qualities that have nothing to do with talent or intelligence, but can make a dramatic impact on your results:
– Cheerful. You are pleasant to work with and generally raise the level of energy in the room.
– Accountable. You feel personally responsible for what you want to accomplish. It is not someone else’s job. It’s your job.
– Adaptable. You can find alternate paths to success. You don’t need things to be a certain way to be happy.”

“Persistence and variety. These are the two primary ways to develop great ideas or to solve important problems.
Keep leaning your head against a topic for a long time. Certainly for weeks, possibly for years. And along the way, try many lines of attack. Continue to generate options, explore paths, and propose silly ideas. Copy and paste concepts from widely different disciplines and see if it gets you anywhere. All the while, continue to refine the best solution you’ve found thus far.
What looks like genius may simply be the byproduct of persistence and variety.”
