This is Jeff Bezos’s favorite book.

He’s been rereading it for 25 years straight, and it inspired his most famous decision-making model.

Here are the 7 lessons from "The Remains of the Day" that helped him build his $200B+ Amazon empire: 🧵 Image
In 1987, Bezos discovered "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro.

The story of a butler's lifetime of regret struck him like lightning.

It would later become the foundation of Bezos's entire philosophy: Image
Image
The book follows Stevens, an English butler who sacrificed everything for "professional dignity."

But in his final years, he realizes a devastating truth:

• His dignity was a prison
• He never lived for himself
• His whole life was spent in fear Image

This family runs one of the world's most successful empires—but no one talks about them.

With $17.7 billion turnover in 2023, Hershey, Cadbury, and Lindt envy their success.

Here's the full story behind Ferrero Rocher—the most powerful chocolate brand in the world: 🧵 Image
Image
It started in a small Italian bakery in 1946.

Pietro Ferrero, a master pastry chef in Alba, Italy, had an obsession: finding the perfect balance between cocoa and hazelnuts.

This obsession would birth a dynasty worth billions:
The breakthrough came during wartime:

Chocolate was scarce and expensive.

Pietro crafted 'Giandujot'—a hazelnut chocolate paste using local ingredients.

It was an instant regional success. Image

The best book I've ever read on money:

How To Live by Derek Sivers.

Buried inside are 4 short pages packed with insights on building wealth.

These 23 quotes will change the way you think about money:🧵 Image
Image
1. "Making money isn't evil, greedy, shallow, or vain.

Your biggest obstacle to getting rich is the harmful meaning you've attached to it."
2. "Making money is nothing more than a neutral exchange of value.

Making money is proof you're adding value to people's lives.

Aiming to get rich is aiming to be useful to the world."

This list will help you:

• Recap the year
• Take stock of where you are
• And refresh your perspective heading into 2025

It's the exact process I used to do my Yearly Review.

Let's dive in: Image
1. What were the big moments, memories, and milestones from this year?

Add some constraints and try to pick 3-5 per month.

Write this as if you were writing a summary of the year you could look back on in 20 years.

Look at this legendary writer.

The US banned some of his books from publication for 30 years.

But in 1930, Henry Miller made a list of 11 Commandments that are a must-read for any aspiring writer.

Here's the breakdown:🧵 Image
First, some context.

Miller's autobiographical novel, The Tropic of Cancer, was banned in the US soon after it was published in 1934.

Here's what Miller had to say about his book (and how he chose the title):
Alright, onto his writing advice.

These 11 commandments were part of Henry's personal "Program."

They were rules for himself that he followed day in and day out.

Princeton grad.
BlackRock trader.
Making $180k at 22.

But the biggest "jaw-drop" moment in my 20s?

Getting this $5,000 PayPal payment from a stranger on the internet.

Here's my full story (and how you can do the same):🧵 Image
Image
After college, I was checking every box:

• Princeton grad
• NYC finance life
• BlackRock trader
• 22 years old on track to make $180k

But then I witnessed something that changed everything:
A 38-year-old colleague asked for permission to go to his son's Little League game.

His boss said no.

I thought: "If I do everything right for 14 more years, I'll be sitting here having to ask permission to go to my kids' game?"

Uh oh.
