Bad bosses insist that work comes first. They reward workaholism and punish outside interests.

Good bosses support balance. They encourage nights & weekends off.

Great bosses expect people to put loved ones above their jobs. They forbid missing important family events for work.

The reason people get good ideas in the shower is because it's the only time during the day when most people are away from screens long enough to think clearly. The lesson is not to take more showers, but rather to make more time to think.

“Nobody cares what you did yesterday. What have you done today to better yourself?”

1. If your last moment of success was 5-10 years ago, it’s a sign to reinvent yourself.

2. Living in the past is the fastest way to unhappiness.

Hey managers: It's not the office we're avoiding. It's the clear costs and unclear benefits of leaving home.

People are happy to show up when the pros outweigh the cons. Make commuting and childcare less expensive, collaboration more predictable, and distractions more escapable.

JENSEN HUANG: “Resilience matters in success. I don’t know how to teach it to you, except for: I hope suffering happens to you .. because .. greatness comes from character. And character isn’t formed out of smart people. It’s formed out of people who suffered.” $NVDA

Finished this book yesterday and it's a remarkable read.

It's honest, entertaining and witty, loved it.
