"Engaging, but nothing new yet. The author emphasizes "leaning in" when interested and how physical distance dictates the vibe. She also covers how closed postures (like folded arms) signal defensiveness, using a deep dive into the cues in The Last Supper—specifically Jesus’ open posture—to illustrate her points." — Apr 25, 2026 02:35PM

"Really enjoying this on Kindle so far. It’s refreshingly direct, using interactive tests to keep the concepts sharp. I’m planning to dive into the supplemental video links once I finish the chapters." — Apr 20, 2026 08:00AM

"Finally tracked down a copy of this after a recommendation from a colleague! It’s a total departure from my usual genre, but the gamified storytelling makes it incredibly hard to put down." — Apr 20, 2026 07:59AM

one of the more reliable ways to improve an algorithm’s performance today is still to (i) train a bigger network and (ii) get more data.
More data and more optimised learning algorithms are the key factors
“Socially, we’re told, “Go work out. Go look good.” That’s a multi-player competitive game. Other people can see if I’m doing a good job or not. We’re told, “Go make money. Go buy a big house.” Again, external multiplayer competitive game. Training yourself to be happy is completely internal. There is no external progress, no external validation. You’re competing against yourself—it is a single-player game.”

“You probably don't want maximum effectiveness.
For example, the most effective way to make money likely requires a lifestyle you don't want to live. Instead, you want the most effective path that fits your desired lifestyle.
How do you want to spend your days? Start there, then optimize.”

“Anger is a result of life alienated thinking that is disconnected from needs. It indicates that we have moved up to our head to analyse and judge somebody rather than focus on which of our needs is not being met.”

“The truth about productivity is that it's not really about the apps, it's not really about having a perfect system or about being disciplined or motivated more than anyone else.
When I think of my own life and how I do things like: YouTube channel, entrepreneurship, medical school, being a doctor, none of it feels like suffering, none of it feels like a grind. So, when my housemate says: "It's 11 o'clock at night, why are you still working?", it's always a bit surprising because it really doesn't feel like work because it's actually fun.
The main insight that I've realized is that productivity isn't really about getting more things done, it's mostly about LEARNING TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY.”
