Very boring at times. Good advice here and there but she takes too much to get to a point. I think she spends way too much time talking about the problem.

It’s getting a bit boring... though it hasn’t until now, pretty interesting stuff and good stories, she’s basically talking about the Buddha’s basic premise of general acceptance, how change goes together with desire and how to put that into action

10. We’re prompt to jump to conclusions especially if we like the message and disregard statistical significance most of the time. The law of small numbers. Most factors than we would like to believe are due to chance.

9. You always look to answer a simpler question when presented with a hard one. Again. System 2 is super lazy and the law of less effort.

6. Repetition will diminish surprise. We will look for causation most of the time.

7. We will accept what we see and jump to a conclusion quicker more often than not. Fulfilling past principles like s2 is lazy, etc

Part 1: Two systems

1. Systems definition. Conflict between them. Illusions caused by system 1.

2. For system 2 you need attention and effort. As you engage in the same activity more less effort is required.

3. The law of less effort. System 2 is lazy.

4. Priming. We’re VERY influenced by context and surroundings.

5. We will accept, choose and believe whatever is cognitively easier most of the time.

Why do I feel this guy is trying to sell me this book?
Dude! I already got it I’m reading it!

Look inside of yourself find nothing and be ok with it, without doing anything.

“What you don’t understand,” I explained to Simmon one afternoon as we sat under the pennant pole, “is that men fall for Denna all the time. Do you know what that’s like for her? How tiresome it is? I am one of her few friends. I won’t risk that. I won’t throw myself at her. She doesn’t want it. I will not be one of the hundred cow-eyed suitors who go mooning after her like love-struck sheep.”

so you're a pussy...

"I have known her longer, my smile said. True, you have been inside the circle of her arms, tasted her mouth, felt the warmth of her, and that is something I have never had. But there is a part of her that is only for me. You cannot touch it, no matter how hard you might try. And after she has left you I will still be here, making her laugh. My light shining in her."

dude you're so friendzoned just stfo...

"Denna touched my arm. I felt the sudden warmth of her hand through my shirt. I drew a deep breath and smelled the smell of her hair, warm with the sun, her clean sweat and her breath"

....................................................................
denna ruined it for me....

"Denna took a step away from me, muttering and rubbing at her eyes. The part of my arm where her hand had rested suddenly felt very cold."

You're a creepy little nerd Kvothe...

"So we rode in silence. It was nice just being near her. You wouldn’t think a girl in bandages with a blackened eye could be beautiful, but Denna was. Lovely as the moon: not flawless, perhaps, but perfect."

CUT THIS SHIT PATRICK FUCKING ROTHFUSS!

"The last thing I wanted to do was convince her I was crazy with wild stories of the Chandrian...."

I know why I didn't finish this in so long, I hate this girl the main character is in love with, he just said like 3 pages ago that he was willing to kill 10 horses to know ANYthing about the "chandrian" but he's not willing to lie the girl he knows shit about, fucking nerds

Capitulo 1. Entre libros prestados encontré a Mario Vargas Llosa. Una carta a un joven que pregunta como convertirse en un buen escritor, y el hasta ahora buen intento de un viejo sabio por explicarlo. Entre recomendaciones de libros, racionamientos y suposiciones sobre la vocación de cada quien creo que se viene un buen libro

El autor hace un mal trabajo describiendo en primera persona a Pi, con rastros de personalidad de escritor fracasado: subconsciente, porfiado y ridículamente religioso. Pi no me está cayendo muy bien. Después de mucho hablar de piscinas (entendemos que Pi sabe nadar) y una lectura sobre como no tenemos razón cuando no queremos ver animales encerrados termina mi muestra. Descargo el libro pirateado y espero que mejore

Empece a leer este libro por una muestra gratis, 53 páginas y cuatro capítulos. El autor introduce describiendo como descubrió la historia, entre quejas de una vida fracasada como escritor y comentarios de más acerca de lo mucho que sabe de nada finaliza con "esta es una historia que te hará creer en dios". No creo en dios y no creo que nada me haga creer, pero mi curiosidad superó la lastimosa introducción.

5.6. Downswings and the Poker Mindset

Los imperios de Asia: Las dinastías Han, Chin, Sung y la dominación Mongola; La india de los Gupta y la influencia musulmana.

Aureliano sonrió, la levantó por la cintura con las dos manos, como una maceta de begonias, y la tiró boca arriba en la cama. De un tirón brutal, la despojó de la túnica de baño antes de que ella tuviera tiempo de impedirlo, y se asomó al abismo de una desnudez recién lavada que no tenía matiz de la piel, ni una veta de vellos, ni un lunar recóndito que él no hubiera imaginado en las tinieblas de otros cuartos.
