Thank you for sharing this. I've heard of Naval Ravikant but haven't looked into him too much - but will do now.

“Simple heuristic: if you’re evenly split on a difficult decision, take the path more painful in the short term.” This is something I learned for myself while doing a multi-day coastal hike. When there was a choice of two paths, it was almost always better to take the steeper path. Ducking out and taking the easier path usually meant I had to turn back and take the harder path anyway.

Simple but powerful! This book has had a profound impact on me as well, somehow it's more than just productivity or self-help, it's everything you need to know to go out & live a good life. It's amazing. I keep coming back to Naval to remind myself of important lessons. All the best to you!
