As I navigate through the space for a few months now, these are the few behaviors and lessons that I have learnt. It's okay to make mistakes as all of us are fairly new to this space, but remember to unlearn and relearn to make a better decision in your next move.

I'm thrilled to announce that my first book—The 5 Types of Wealth—is officially ​available for preorder​ everywhere books are sold!

I believe this book is going to change millions of lives. Its ideas have already changed mine...

So, what is ​The 5 Types of Wealth​ all about?

It's about rejecting the default and living life by design.

It's about realizing that your wealthy life may involve money, but in the end, it will be defined by everything else.

In this book, I offer a new way for you to think about your life centered around five types of wealth:

• Time Wealth
• Social Wealth
• Mental Wealth
• Physical Wealth
• Financial Wealth

A new way to measure what matters, make better decisions, and design your life around the pillars that truly create lasting joy and fulfillment.

Importantly, this book will not give you the answers. It will give you the right questions, so that you can uncover and act on them.

While the lens through which you view them will be individual, the stories, questions, ideas, and tools contained in this book are universal.

No matter who you are, or where you are on your journey, this book is for you.

If you’ve enjoyed any of my work, you’re going to find immense value in this book. I guarantee it.

My humble ask: Preorders are extremely important for the success of a book—retailers use the data to determine buys, placement, and more—so I'd be truly grateful for your support as I continue on my mission to create millions of positive ripples in the world.

Order today: https://t.co/QJrxp76oC7

If you reply and share this tweet, I'll personally message you my thanks and a few ideas I think you'll enjoy in the book. No automations, just me, because real impact is personal and human.

P.S. I'm also offering a bunch of bonuses for anyone who preorders one or more copies (a video series, access to a monthly live AMA/office hours, and a virtual book club appearance). Drop your order number in the portal on the website to access those bonuses.

Thirty-eight years into being a stand-up comedian, Jerry Seinfeld was asked how his daily work routine has evolved over the years.

“It’s the exact same,” he said. “I do the exact same now as I did when I was 21 in 1975.”

He sits down with a yellow legal pad, he said, and

"my writing technique is just: You can’t do anything else. You don’t have to write, but you can’t do anything else.”

That’s your day? the interviewer asks. That’s what you’ve done every day for thirty-eight years? That, to me, sounds torturous.

“It is,” Seinfeld admits. “But you know what? Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you’re comfortable with…Find the torture you’re comfortable with, and you’ll do well.”

Takeaway 1:

To most, what Jerry Seinfeld does every day sounds like torture. But Seinfeld loves what he does. "I love my big, yellow legal pad," he said. "Once I get that pad open, I can’t stop…the next thing I know, the day is gone.”

Paul Graham has a great essay on this imbalance.

"My father is a mathematician," Graham writes. "To me the exercises at the end of each chapter in a math textbook represent work...To him the problems [are] the reward."

"It seemed curious that the same task could be painful to one person and pleasant to another."

If what is torturous to other people is rewarding to you, Graham writes, "that's something you're well suited for."

Takeaway 2:

In the early 1980s, the sociologist Daniel Chambliss spent 5 years studying swimmers at every level of ability.

In 1989, he published his research in a paper, “The Mundanity of Excellence.” Essentially, Chambliss found that Olympic champions don’t train more than the average swimmer. Instead, they train differently. In particular, they do “what others see as boring.”

Chambliss tells the story of a group of coaches from around the world visiting a U.S. Olympic Team practice. “The visiting coaches were excited at first…then soon they grew bored, walking back and forth, glancing down at their watches, wondering, after the long flight out to California, when something dramatic was going to happen.”

“They all have to come to see what we do,” the U.S. Olympic Team coach said. “They think we have some big secret.”

There is no secret. There is only the doing of the mundane, boring, torturous work, day after day.

Find the mundane, boring, torturous work you like, as Seinfeld said, "and you’ll do well."

"Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you’re comfortable with." — Jerry Seinfeld

#GPT4 saved my dog's life.

After my dog got diagnosed with a tick-borne disease, the vet started her on the proper treatment, and despite a serious anemia, her condition seemed to be improving relatively well.

After a few days however, things took a turn for the worse 1/

Where did your daily cappuccino come from?

Well, it involves the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, a group of Italian monks, and a Polish spy.

But the story begins 700 years ago with a city in Yemen called Mocha...
