When I was younger, I wasted years drinking, smoking, and living recklessly.

Then I discovered Naval Ravikant — and his wisdom completely transformed my life.

Here are 20 timeless lessons from the wisest man of this century (that will change yours too): 1. Desire Is Your Enemy

Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.

It’s an endless loop that keeps you trapped.

To live a peaceful life, detach from your desires.

The man who isn’t content with little will never be content with more.

14 life lessons most people overlook:

(Don’t be one of them)

1/ Focus > Time
↳ Time isn’t your biggest problem — distraction is.
↳ Pick one task and give it your full attention. 2/ Compete with your past, not people

↳ Real growth means progress, not comparison.
↳ Outdo who you were yesterday, not someone’s filtered highlight reel.

SHOCKING 🤯

In 1948, one woman uncovered a code that could bend reality at will.

She used it for 30 years — and it worked every single time.

Her secret?

A simple 4-letter formula that can “break the matrix”: Her story began during the Great Depression.

Life was hard. Every day was a struggle to survive.

Her parents told her, “If you want something, you have to earn it.”

But she kept wondering, “Is there an easier way?”

That single question changed everything.

This neuroscientist worked until she was 103.

She also:
• Won a Nobel Prize at 77
• Became a senator at 92
• Stayed mentally sharp well past 100

Her secret? 5 powerful daily habits that kept her brain ageless 🧵
Rita Levi-Montalcini earned the Nobel Prize for discovering nerve growth factor (NGF) — a protein essential for the growth and survival of nerve cells.

Even at 100, she remained an active force in the scientific world.

Here’s how she kept her mind razor-sharp 👇

10 Mental Models That Will Make You Smarter

1. First Principles

Aristotle described first principles as “the first basis from which a thing is known.”

Instead of copying what others have done, strip

ideas down to their fundamentals and rebuild
from there. Steps:

Question your assumptions

Break them down to core truths

Rebuild with fresh solutions

Most people rely on analogies and incremental improvements. With first-principles thinking, ask: If I had to design this from scratch, how would I do it?

This Nobel Prize winner spent 44+ years proving you’re not in control of your choices.

He revealed a hidden system that shapes human behavior — it’s called game theory.

Once you understand it, you’ll never look at decisions the same way again. 🧵 Meet John Nash.

In 1950, at just 22, he wrote a 28-page PhD thesis that rewired economics, politics, and psychology.

The twist? Nash was battling schizophrenia and rarely spoke to anyone.

Yet his discovery became the foundation for predicting human decisions.

This is Ingo Swann, a man who learned to “exit his physical body.”

He “mentally traveled” to Jupiter and described its rings in detail.

Six years later, NASA’s Voyager 1 confirmed everything he reported.

The CIA immediately classified his work.

But what he uncovered later is even more shocking: 🧵
Ingo was an artist from Colorado with no formal science background.

Yet he had a remarkable ability:
He could leave his body at will.

He called it “remote viewing.”
Scientists called it impossible—until they tested him.

Your brain is fried and the reason is "Dopamine".

You forget 90% of what you read, You stay confused all day...

So, I researched & cracked down Andrew Huberman’s studies.

These 7 simple lifestyle switches will rewire & fix your brain power.🧵

1. Stop Drinking Alcohol.
2. Drinking today, steals tomorrow’s happiness

Regular consumption leads to brain fog, lack of motivation, hyper ventilation and stress.

Alcohol spikes your dopamine levels which results in craving the substance even more.

Andrew Huberman just released a 2-hour deep dive on cortisol—your body’s main stress hormone.

Too much of it wrecks your health: burnout, faster aging, fat gain, memory decline, heart issues, even Alzheimer’s.

Here’s a 7-step science-backed protocol to balance your cortisol: 🧵👇
[Step 1] Know What Cortisol Really Does

Cortisol isn’t the “enemy.” It’s essential for energy and focus. The problem comes when it’s elevated too much—or at the wrong times.

If you understand psychology, you can influence any room you step into.

The secret? Mental models.

Here are 9 mental models that teach you more about the mind than a $100,000 psychology degree: 1. Parkinson's Law

Tasks stretch to fill the time you give them. Most people confuse “being busy” with being productive.

Give yourself tighter deadlines than you think you need. Pressure sharpens focus.

Genghis Khan: The Ruthless Ruler Who Built an Empire Larger Than Rome

He commanded the world’s biggest land empire, had 400+ mistresses, and today, 1 in 200 men are his direct descendants.

But he also wiped out over 40 million people.

Let’s dive into the story of this brutal yet legendary figure:
1. His father was poisoned by rivals

At just 9, Genghis lost his father to poisoning by a rival clan. His mother was left to raise seven children alone, abandoned by the tribe.

As a teenager, both he and his young wife were kidnapped by enemies and enslaved, before eventually escaping.

In 1206, he rose to power by forging alliances with tribes and laid the foundation of his empire.

Stop dismissing Gabor Maté.

That’s exactly what Big Pharma wants.

Diving into his work for 5+ years helped me break free from anxiety and trauma—and I’ve seen it transform dozens of others too.

Here are 7 life-changing concepts I learned from him: 1. Don’t ask what, ask why

When anxiety hit, I stopped trying to “breathe it away.”
Instead, I asked: Why am I feeling this?

That shift helped me address the root cause, not just the symptom.

The most overused, oddly glorified, yet under-respected topic on the internet:

Childhood Trauma.

It’s why your dad won’t cry, your relationships don’t stick, and why you feel exhausted every morning.

Here’s what trauma is—and how to reverse its effects (backed by science): 🧵
What is trauma?

Trauma isn’t the event that happened to you. It’s the psychological wound that happens after.

The good news? Trauma can be healed when properly addressed.

We can’t change the past, but we can heal its effects on our minds today.

In 1971, a rising economics PhD vanished into the forest to meditate.

Years later, his radical surrender led to a $5.4 BILLION empire, 2M+ books sold and a global spiritual movement.

Michael Singer’s 5 paradoxical principles will shatter everything you believe about success:🧵
Trust in life's perfection.

Stop resisting the flow of life.

We think life is about making the "right" decisions.

But Singer discovered something else entirely.

Pause for a moment and read his words below carefully:

The hidden force behind depression, anxiety, and cancer isn't genetics or lifestyle.

It's repressed anger.

Gabor Maté says it shuts down your immune system and makes you 40x more likely to develop cancer.

Here's what repressed anger does to you—and 5 ways to break free: 🧵 Most people think anger is "bad."

We're taught to suppress it in childhood.

But here's what no doctor will tell you:

Research shows a direct link between emotional suppression and cancer development:

Scott Bessent’s interview is going viral.

It’s not about tariffs.

It’s about why your wages could explode — and the trillion-dollar secret hiding in plain sight on Wall Street.

Everyone should read this. Let’s start break it down…

A thread 🧵 The numbers are staggering.

Household income growth hit 0.7-0.8% in April alone.

Real wages for hourly workers rose almost 2% in just 5 months.

Bessent dropped this bombshell: "No president has done that before."

But here's where it gets interesting...

You’re not in control of your choices.

This Nobel Prize winner spent 44 years proving it.

Then he wrote a 500-page bestseller that sold 10M+ copies and shocked the world.

Here are top 10 mental traps controlling every decision you make:
Meet Daniel Kahneman:

• Nobel Prize in Economics (2002)
• NY Times bestselling author (2011)
• Presidential Medal of Freedom (2013)

For decades, he was obsessed with one question:

Why do rational people made irrational decisions?

You’ve never been in control.

One Nobel Prize winner spent 50+ years proving it.

His research proved your decisions are driven by hidden mental flaws so deep, you can’t even see them.

Here’s how your brain tricks you - and how to fight back... (thread) 🧵
Daniel Kahneman grew up in Nazi-occupied Paris as a jew.

One of the most horrifying periods in modern history.

But one event forever changed the way he viewed human decisions:

Winston Churchill was a real son of a b*tch.

His philosophies may offend but will definitely give you chills.

The education system teaches you to stick to the conventional path.

That leads to boredom, lack of freedom & poverty.

There's no such thing as job security

This woman has the Highest IQ ever recorded (228).

Miles away from Einstein (160-190), Hawking (160) or Musk (155).

Despite this, she was ridiculed for her answer to what seemed a simple problem.

Yet she saw what no one else could.

Here's her story: 🧵 Marilyn Vos Savant wasn't your usual kid.

By age 10 she:

• Memorized entire books
• Read all 24 volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica
• Had the highest IQ ever recorded (228)

She was destined to be a genius.

But the reality was different.

In 1984, Tony Robbins made a $1,000,000 bet:

He claimed he could turn ANYONE into a top performer.

So he spent 40 years creating a 5-step development system.

The result?

A method so powerful, it turned Serena Williams & Pitbull into icons:🧵 From selling music door-to-door to advising world leaders and interviewing the world's top 50 financial advisors - Tony Robbins knows the recipe for success.

He was driven to answer this question:
