When I read this book in 2015, it opened up a whole new dimension of the world that was unknown to me.
How there are things that GAIN from disorder.
10. This book should become prescribed mandatory reading in every school.
Not because I endorse being paranoid.
Because I endorse being away of what happens if you are, or chose not to be.
11.
Absolutely stunning book on how the little things, the little steps, the little actions one fine day tip over to become the force no one expected!
We see this happening in the world now more than ever before.
17. I remember reading this book, which served as my thought basis for stepping down from nearbuy and choosing a very different life.
That based on what is truly essential to me, in my life.
20. This book brings everything together.
Religion, Money, Civilization.
What Hawkings did for Space through "Brief history of time" @harari_yuval did for humankind.
These books collectively cost ~Rs. 15,000 (~$200).
This is how much we would spend on a new phone.
For the cost of a phone, you get the collective wisdom of the brightest minds of the world.
WHAT A BARGAIN!

@davidgoggins is not just a masterful author, he is an exceptional narrator too.
His hitting life experiences hit me, made me realize my privileges and left me with the biggest lesson - no one can hurt me, if I don't agree to be hurt!
We designed our hiring process to check for culture fitment, attitude, curiosity.
Which meant looking at the resume much later. Instead starting with understand the person.
41 observations about life, in the week I turned 41.
A thread...
1. It is easy to respect people from a distance.
True respect is when you get to know them, and still respect them.
2. People assume that a verified Twitter profile is someone smart. Ironically, the blue tick says, "this person is EXACTLY who they claim they are"
3. Your guides, your mentors, your managers are not there to fix your mistakes.
They are there to guide you, so that you are eventually able to see your own mistakes.
4. Not every problem needs to be solved.
Some need to just be heard.
Just be felt.
Just be empathized with.
As a kid, I was terrified of the stage.
My first appearance was a disaster, in Class 7, when I went up on stage, blurted out what I had to recite, only to be told later that my lips were moving but no voice came out from my mouth!
