    Great wisdom and insights. Sleep is very important. It's essential for physical and mental health. Going to bed early and waking up early is healthy and will help us be more productive.

    Father time gets all of us but you will keep the light in your eyes longer by eating healthy and drinking less alcohol. Treat yourself like an athlete.

    I am currently listening to the audio book, read by the author. A very interesting takeaway is that the word “priority” was first coined in the 1400s. It was singular. Only ONE thing could be a priority. Fastforward 500 years and you will often see it as plural: “priorities.” McKeown says to strip that back down.

      Hahaha! We’re on the same path: finished listening to Atomic Habits a couple weeks ago and started listening to Essentialism this morning!
      Am reading From Strength to Strength.
      I like having a book in my ears for commuting, walking the dogs, cooking, etc…and another for my eyes when I have time to sit and actually read.

    Thank you for your advice on life. Here are mine: My personal philosophy has 20 beliefs I strive to live by:
    1. “Love is the only rational act.” -Stephen Levine
    2. We are all teachers, we are all students. We grow and evolve together.
    3. Nothing about me, without me.
    4. “Make Life Beautiful” from the song Beautiful by Storm Large
    5. "Work is love made visible." -The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
    6. I can like you, even though I am not like you. We are equals even though we are not alike. -inspired by the book A Wrinkle In Time.
    7. The Universe provides.
    8. Pain is (often) ignorance leaving the body. -paraphrased from the Tsunami Rangers
    9. As you are art, so am I.
    10. “Joy is the gift of love, grief is the cost of love, anger protects your love.” -Valarie Kaur
    11. “That which is moral is that which feels good, (during and) after.”
    12. If you don't heal from those who hurt you, you will bleed on those who didn't cut you.
    13. "You can ask for anything in the world that you want, as long as you are willing to accept no for an answer." -Steve the Hippie
    14. “Sit with reason, move with passion.” -paraphrasing Kahlil Gibran from The Prophet
    15. “Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.” -Viktor Frankl,
    16. It doesn't have to be fun, to be fun. -from an unknown rock climber
    17. We live in a world where anything is possible.
    18. There is pretty much just one question in life to answer, and that is, how do you want to spend your time? -my step father Paul
    19. The best way to predict the future, is to create it. -Peter Drucker
    20. If you want something you've never had, you gotta do some thing you've never done. -Carlos Anderson, the Minister, from Hope Church

    I recently made further purchases. Saving for a market slump is also a bad idea. There are different perspectives on recessions and depressions; we cannot always expect significant rewards; and taking risks is preferable to doing nothing. The bottom line is that by diversifying your portfolio and making sensible judgments, you will accomplish exceptional outcomes. In just 5 months, my portfolio's raw earnings increased by $608k.

      Despite my conviction in your direction, my recent stock purchases, and the fact that I am an AMC shareholder, I have not been able to amass anything. I had been in debt for far too long before the collapse. What are the steps required in investing?

    • @majidcoper
      @majidcoper 10 місяців тому

      I completely agree, which is why I think it's important to delegate decision-making responsibility to an investment coach. Underperformance is essentially unimaginable given their specialized experience and education, as well as the fact that each of their skills is focused on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable events. Working with an investment coach for over two years, l've made over $1.5 million.

    Mr. Tae Kim, I just watched your video on IUL and totally agreeing with you. Have you also done a video on annuity? This agent is saying Nationwide is having this 30% bonus right away on the whole initial amount and then 8% yearly thereafter. This is too good to be true, and I am being skeptical.

    Will you ever do a video on Bitcoin? So many of the financial literacy channels I follow dismiss it as speculative but there is math that proves it’s value. From a 1% allocation decreasing the sharpe ratio of a portfolio to bitcoin following the power law, a lot of financial literacy proponents haven’t done their due diligence on the value of bitcoin. Hoping you research it and do a video. Saving in Bitcoin the last 3 years has improved my net worth exponentially

    Sadly, this book attempts to usurp the very useful philosophical term by the same name. Fortunately, this book will be all but forgotten in the next few years, as happens to almost all self-help works. Learning about the REAL essentialism (and why it is faulty thinking) is MUCH more important than reading something like this.
