Ch. 3 The Pledge Inflexibility as a Stratagem
Once you’ve pledged something, you don’t then have to weigh up the rpos and cons each and every time you’re faced with a decision.” Second reason, reputation means “by being consistent on certain topics, you signal where you stand and establish the areas where there’s no room for negotiation.”

Ch 6 The Negative Art of the Good Life Avoiding the negative things of life is something similar to what is in the book of Proverbs & various aspects of scripture "do not" but it is for the practical and spiritual impacts. But the idea of "negative theology" he cites that you can only state what God is not, but not what he is of course is incorrect from scripture. Thus, we can say what is the good things we can do.

Ch. 5 Counterproductivity
This chapter was not productive. Sure modern technology could be a time-waster rather than a time saver but there is more to life than just saving time. These devices bring other aspects to our lives. The quality of life. Walking or driving from NY to CA? Or Flying? Trying to analyse what is productive an what is counterproductive seems counterproductive.

Ch. 4 Blackbox Thinking
- It takes radical acceptance and blackbox thinking. Things like ignoring our problems or avoiding them doesn’t help and instead we should focus on what the problems are and accept shortcomings or things that we cannot avoid about ourselves or our reality.

Ch. 4 Blackbox Thinking
-Airlines have become safer because the blackbox has provided information as to the mistakes or plane issues that have come up which need correcting. Blackbox thinking is the same thing on a personal level.

Ch 3 Pledge Inflexibility as a Stratagem. This seems similar to Jonathan Edwards Resolutions. As Dobelli states, “when it comes to important issues, flexibility isn’t an advantage--it’s a trap.”
