I wonder how many start meditating after their success though. But yeah I think you can definitely be successful and meditate. I think PG and investors in general want to create a pressure cooker to create extreme results.
- vladmk 5y agoWhich is why I'm curious, I want those results. I mean I've done extreme things such as run Marathons, etc. So I'm happy to stop, just wanted to learn about the other perspective of it being unhelpful. For me personally I'm probably too on edge and need to slow down (everyone around me tells me that) which is why I meditate daily, but I can see from Paul's perspective if I was to "slow" then it may be harmful. Therapy can also have the same effect. Thanks for your response.
- awb 5y agoI guess you'd have to talk to or listen to interviews with billionaires. Somehow I doubt that being more composed and in tune with your inner self would have a negative effect. Any decrease in personal drive is probably accounted for in better relationships with yourself and others. And you need others to help you be successful. And I doubt meditating is a huge determining factor. Other things like education, domain expertise, support network, professional network, access to capital, luck, etc. are probably going to have a far greater impact on your professional success.
- vladmk 5y agoLol listen to Ray Dalio, meditation is his sole reason he says he succeeded and Marc Beniof mentions it publicly too.
