Morgan Housel
“There is a paradox here: people tend to want wealth to signal to others that they should be liked and admired. But in reality those other people often bypass admiring you, not because they don’t think wealth is admirable, but because they use your wealth as a benchmark for their own desire to be liked and admired.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

Adam M. Grant
“Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. —George Bernard Shaw”

Adam M. Grant
“Our convictions can lock us in prisons of our own making. The solution is not to decelerate our thinking—it’s to accelerate our rethinking.”
Adam M. Grant, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

“The image of building a life from solid success to solid success is a wonderful dream, but it is only a fantasy.”
Edward B. Burger, The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking

Maria Konnikova
“Mike Tyson said it best. ‘Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the mouth.’ And he’s right. Until you go through a month of everything going wrong, you won’t know whether you have what it takes. You will never learn how to play good poker if you get lucky—it’s as simple as that. You just won’t.”
Maria Konnikova, The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win
