Amit’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for How to Win Friends and Influence People

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Carnegie, Dale,

2 highlights

“Are you an experienced scuba diver? Great, shed your gear, take a deep breath and become a one-hundred-foot free diver. Are you a badass triathlete? Cool, learn how to rock climb. Are you enjoying a wildly successful career? Wonderful, learn a new language or skill. Get a second degree. Always be willing to embrace ignorance and become the dumb fuck in the classroom again, because that is the only way to expand your body of knowledge and body of work. It’s the only way to expand your mind.”
― David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds
