Q: “I feel like nobody gets me. What to do?”

M: Firstly - stop talking to those who are hell bent on misunderstanding you.
You aren’t a one in 8 billion specimen - Whatever you are interested in, others are too.

And you can find them in two ways...
1 - Create contents around the things you are passionate about and wait for your tribe to find you. Be authentic & true to yourself.

2 - Seek out groups / communities where you’d be loved and accepted for who you are.
Whatever you do - don’t allow you mind trick you into total isolation. It never ends well...

Naval, Elon Musk and Charlie Munger have attributed their successes to mental models.

Here are 7 useful models that will make you a better thinker...
1 -When in doubt, say NO

If you are unsure whether or not you should accept a job, marry someone, accept a business partner - then the answer is no.

Forget the pros and cons. Say yes only when you FEEL certain.
2 - Seek understanding, not complexity

When learning something new, try to explain it to a 10-year old (or imagine you have to).

If you are unable to pass across your knowledge in simple terms then you haven't learnt anything, you simple memorized.

You’ve been conditioned to see happiness as something to chase, rather than something you can create.

Here are 3 hard truths that will change your perspective on happiness (no. 3 will shock you)...
1 - Stop chasing happiness

The danger of obsessively seeking happiness externally is that it makes you vulnerable to harmful vices, mimetic desires, and self-induced mental illnesses.
Drugs, stimulants & depressants are popular because everyone’s desperate to get a dose of happiness by any means necessary; but that’s just unhappiness on makeup.

Q: “How to meditate and get it right?”

Marv: Meditation requires no technique, so there’s no way to get it wrong.

Read on...
Meditation is not a mission, so you must be willing to let go of any desired results.

Your mind will find this difficult to accept because it is always trying label everything or to achieve something.
Effortlessness is counterintuitive to the mind’s programming (which is why it’s the only way out of the maze).

Any technique you employ to subdue the mind will only agitate it.

A man of presence must cultivate discipline in these areas

- His diet
- His speech
- His motives
- His sexuality
- His social circle / media

They are non-negotiables if you must fully awaken...
Diet -

Eat to satiate hunger, not to dissipate emotions. Develop emotional control instead

Minimize inflammatory foods

Consume more foods that are natural & lively (fruits, vegetables, nuts)
Sexuality

Avoid porn, it destroys your physical & mental integrity.

Be energy sensitive, every intercourse is a memory download.

Most people are selfish with money - when they should be more selfish with their time, energy & attention...
Never allow anyone waste your time, including yourself!

Time is the very fabric that life is made of.

Consequently - if you value your life, you’ll value your time.
70% of your time should be spent doing meaningful work.

20% should be spent on hobbies that make you smarter, happier, healthier, richer or more socia.

10% should be spent on trivial things.

Employ these two mental models to become time conscious;
