Me too! I was really looking forward to seeing a summary of so many books. Was expecting to see something like:
* life is hard
* people can be evil

- rfarley04 3y agoThere's a quote from Naval Ravikant that I really like (but now can't find), "All self-help books essentially boil down to 'prioritize long-term payoffs over short-term ones'". Haven't seen a single instance of that being incorrect.

I mean, if homo sapiens could reliably prioritize long-term payoffs over short-term ones, the world would look very different.
