A very insightful article! A must read for those who want to shape their lives for better.
Three different points/quotes in the article which I really like-
1- “If you want a specific outcome in life, you must have the lifestyle that creates that outcome long before you reach it”
2- “High intelligence is the ability to iterate, persist, and understand the big picture. The mark of low intelligence is the inability to learn from your mistakes.”
3- “The best periods of my life always came after a period of getting absolutely fed up with the lack of progress I was making.”
This is the most important book on life I have read.
Every time I finish it, I restart it. I’ve read through 5 times in the past 2 years . Never fails to bring new insights.
If you want to think clearly, this is the one.

The best authors - Deutsch, Schopenhauer, Borges, Ted Chiang - write with very high density. The best authors respect the reader’s time.
