"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." — 52 minutes ago

"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

Did you know that negative numbers were only created in the 1700s, and were considered absurd? That imaginary numbers had the same fight when introduced?
Interesting math facts
“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.”

“One of the most valuable skills in life is being able to see another person's perspective.
If you're going to someone's house, think about how it might feel to be the host. If you're creating a product, spend as much time as possible thinking like the customer. If you're calling customer service, think about how it might feel to be on the other end of the conversation.
The more clearly you understand the viewpoint of your spouse or customer or coworker, the better positioned you are to find a solution.”

“Persistence and variety. These are the two primary ways to develop great ideas or to solve important problems.
Keep leaning your head against a topic for a long time. Certainly for weeks, possibly for years. And along the way, try many lines of attack. Continue to generate options, explore paths, and propose silly ideas. Copy and paste concepts from widely different disciplines and see if it gets you anywhere. All the while, continue to refine the best solution you’ve found thus far.
What looks like genius may simply be the byproduct of persistence and variety.”

“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.”

“Running one mile has more in common with running a marathon than sitting at home.
Investing $100 has more in common with being a millionaire than being broke.
Writing one sentence has more in common with writing a book than never writing one.
It always feels small in the beginning and the big goals seem far away. It's easy to talk yourself out of the early attempts because they feel kind of meaningless.
But every race starts with one step. Every fortune starts with a small deposit. Every book begins as one sentence.
The real question is not "What is my current position?" but rather, "What is my current trajectory?" Doing nothing builds nothing. Put yourself on the path to something better. Start small, but make sure you start.”
