😇 Excellent advice for living

Feb 18, 2024

Kevin Kelly published a great book a few months ago -

Excellent advice for living - Wisdom I wish I knew earlier

It’s a collection of short, crisp, snack worthy quotes from his life experiences. 200 pages of pure wisdom.

Here are 5 of my favourite pieces of advice from the book -

Seriously reflect on everything you find irritating in others.

The best way to learn anything is to teach it

Be Kind!

Go ahead, make the move, take the shot!

The more you give to others, the more you’ll get back.

There are so many more such nuggets of wisdom, it’s a must read book. Do try it out.

Great interview -

3 Types of Experiences to Learn from

There are 3 types of experiences you can learn from -

- 1st hand - do shit yourself

- 2nd hand - talk to someone who has 1st hand experience

- 3rd hand - Read/listen to a "produced piece of content" from someone who has 1st hand experience.

All 3 serve different purposes You need all 3.

But can't over-index on any 1.

An average nonfiction book is 100,000 words long.

It contains stories, examples, research references, and a whole lot of repetition of the same key ideas.

The main insights from a top-quality nonfiction book can be drilled down to 1 to 5 key ideas.

Yet, you end up having spent 6-8 hours of your precious time reading it, digesting it, and learning those insights.

If you don’t have that kind of time. We created the Keys to Wisdom for you.

It’s a collection of the top 3-5 ideas from the best non-fiction books in the world.

So that you can learn the best of what a book has to offer in less than 5 minutes.
