Modern Wisdom

Key Takeaways

“Get away from our sons and away from our daughters. It’s not left or right. I don’t have a Republican bone in my body. Get the crazy people who do not understand human development away from our children.” – Eric Weinstein
“Everything worth doing is hard – and the more worth doing it is, the harder it is. The greater the payoff, the greater the hardship. If it’s hard, good. It means no one else will do it. More for you.” – Alex Hormozi
Dr. Mike Israetel – Focus on getting tension in the muscle that you are targeting; getting tension in the muscle you are trying to grow is more significant than focusing on which exercise movement is best
Dr. Andrew Huberman – You can become a morning person in three days: Set your alarm to 5 AM, wake up and get out of bed when it goes off, get outside and safely view sunlight, do some form of exercise or movement while viewing the sunlight, ingest caffeine 60-90 mins after waking, and engage in some form of social interaction
“The only way that you cannot be humble in old age is when you refuse to look at the reality of your life up to today.” – Dry Creek Dewayne
Implement more exercise snacks, such as air squats, into your daily life; the positive effects of short bursts of vigorous energy expenditure through“non-exercise” methods will compound over time and can dramatically improve your health
Oliver Burkeman – We often try to attain an impossible level of control over our lives; accept that you will never get life completely sorted out
Tim Ferriss – Develop identity diversification so that your self-worth is never dependent on just one thing, such as your job; this increases the resiliency and robustness of your mental health
Joe Hudson – The more you are willing to welcome the range of emotions that you will inevitably experience as a human, the more you are likely to welcome joy as a natural part of existence
