Always do your best 6/5. Yes. This is the one. Make all the other ones true and don’t even come close to this one. Just do your best! TRY to do your best. Live life the way you want. Be happy because of the little wins. Don’t work for the reward, work because you love it. Do your best because you love just doing your best.

Don’t make assumptions 5/5.
Been on this, communication is key. Our brains evolved to strictly make assumptions, about people, about situations, about jobs etc. try your hardest to break out of that and ask for yourself. Make things clearer, not harder

Don’t take ANYTHING personally: 4/5.
Agree with this more than the last agreement, but I’m personally putting the emphasis on ANYTHING, even positive things. Be confident in yourself enough that anyone’s opinion or statement toward you means little to nothing. I still think it’s important to APPRECIATE, so don’t lose that.

First agreement, be impeccable with your word. 3/5. I am mostly taking away the less gossip and be confident in your word. However, the “two edge sword of positive and negative strikes”… not so black and white. It matters who you’re hitting with that sword, and how they will react. Interested to read the rest.

Onto part 3 and I’m begging bro to stop talking about these scientists affairs and family leaving them and more about the science of it. This book could be much shorter. So many names. Onto Einstein!

Read a chapter about paleontologist when I wanted to read about dinosaurs. Very interesting stuff, but it does seem a bit odd we’re talking about their discoveries and then personal lives. I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE DINOSAURS.

Gotta be more consistent with this book. Very interesting info that intrigues me, the problem is that every 4 sentences there a new name of a person we go over for another 4 sentences. Gets pretty exhausting and boring at times.

Holy shit I just read in between sets at the gym and went from somethin like 15% to 40%. Life hack

Fuck. This shit is so simple and so good. I honestly do think everyone should read this cause of how straightforward and in your face it is. It’s nothing absolutely riveting, or Shakespeare, it’s just things everyone should hear. Love this part about choose your STRUGGLE, not the outcome. If you really want something, you love the shittyness of it. Excited to finish the book.

Now I know why it’s taken me 2 years to try an finish this book. Mixed with very interesting analytical research of mechanics and enjoyment of the game… and then comparing it to something else. Gonna finish to finish… but not the best book.

Good so far, seems like a solid book to read from my phone instead of brain rot, I’m a fan and feel it’s very relatable story telling and straight forward.

Bought for a dollar on apple bookstore. Trying read too much off apple, but also just saw they have FREE classics. I would feel bad… but most of the classics authors are billionaires or dead. So I think it’s ok. Save my money to give to an author I think is justified.

People really don’t get how little we are… and how we really only matter to each other. I think that’s comforting and terrifying. Also stars are super cool.

Book showing its age just a bit, 2003, Pluto was technically still a planet, mars just had ice caps on it, etc. still very educational, just interesting to see how far we’ve come in technology in just over 20 years!

Starting off 2026 strong

Bought this book 2 years ago… gotta finish it asap I’m lazy and forgetful. I’ve very much liked it so far, even have a photo of a specific text about the importance of repetition!

Gotta stay more dedicated to making time to read.
