2) Second Order Thinking
Stop focusing solely on immediate consequences.
It is important to consider the second & third order effects of any action.
“The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of your current decisions”

5) Run Uphill
Naval says:
“If you are to decide between two relatively equal choices, choose the path more painful in the short term.”
The path with short term pain has long term GAIN linked with it.
Practice delayed gratification.

6) Inversion
Use this system to solve problems by thinking backwards.
To know how to succeed, make a list of how to fail.
To know how to create a good life, write what a bad life looks like.
Inversion helps you avoid obvious mistakes.

7) When in doubt, say NO
If you are debating whether you should accept a job // marry someone // move to a city // partner on a business...
The answer is no - don’t bother with pros and cons.
Say YES only when you are very certain.
