Getting solid sleep each night, removing processed carbs from my diet, weight lifting, stoicism and having fu* money enough for the next 10 years (which is second/higher level effect of the previous ones).
- jpsierens 10y agoAll these points really hit me. Sleeping enough (but not too much) provides me with a sense of well being. It's a really drastic change when I can't get enough sleep. Removing processed carbs contributes to a healthier self and as such improves my quality of life. Weight lifting gives me that boost of self-confidence. stoicism helps me cope with the urges of materialism/hedonism and makes me feel happy about what I have having fu money or a good nest helps me worry less about money, losing my job, having an accident, etc.. peace of mind = happiness good points!
- vldx 10y agoYes, exactly. These are the core elements of my system, so to speak – core foundation; in the sense of [1] Munger's latticework of models. It's my system for achieving [2] eudaimonia, or most specifically – [3] sophrosyne. For myself, the root was the solid sleep – from there on, the other pieces started fitting together in an organic way. Shortly – quality sleep over consistent period of time gives you the ability to make good decisions.
