@hubermanlab Is it possible to fully repair a bulge in the spine? For instance, if you built the muscles around L4/L5, would it hold the bulge in place long enough that it would heal? Or is it just something you will deal with for the rest of your life?

We don't want a King. We want a consultant in the person of Jesus to advise us as we order our lives.

"Zero to One" is widely considered the best book on startups.

What's the single best book for other industries?

This carries weight.

Enough courage to get started + enough sense to focus on something you’re naturally suited for + enough persistence to stay in the game long enough to catch a few lucky breaks + a lot of hard work.

There’s your recipe.

3 simple questions to improve your day.

At the beginning of the day:
“What am I optimizing for?”

During the day:
“What's the best small thing I can do right now?”

​At the end of the day:
“Did I do my best?"

[James Clear @JamesClear]

The person who gets 1 shot needs everything to go right.

The person who gets 1000 shots is going to score at some point.

Find a way to play the game that ensures you get a lot of shots.

A strategy for thinking clearly:

Rather than trying to be right, assume you are wrong and try to be less wrong.

Trying to be right has a tendency to devolve into protecting your beliefs.

Trying to be less wrong has a tendency to prompt more questions and intellectual humility.
