Talk to yourself, as if you were explaining something to a stranger.

in general, don’t ever eat to a point where you are full.

The act of laughter increases endorphins and sends dopamine shooting to the brain.

More dopamine = better focus and learning.

Some of the greatest philosophers were skeptics.

Ask, “why?” – especially if something doesn’t ring true to you.

Don’t just read quotes, learn them.
