How money can be an addiction that society rewards.
How much we over estimate one defining moment versus steady day to day behavior.
The aggregation of marginal gains- improve by 1% in everything you do.
Small changes can lead to big results.
Reduce the Scope, Stick to The Schedule.
Not letting your emotions drive your behavior.
The difference between professionals and amateurs.
It's not the result that matters but the action and habit.
The 2 Minute Rule.
How willpower often comes after we start, not before.
"Start with something so easy you can't say no to it"- Leo Babuta
You don't have to be great at the start, you just need to be there.
Learning from our failures and seeing it as a data point.
Seeing failure as an event, not as part of us.
How mentally tough people define themselves by their persistence, not failure.
Acquiring more mental toughness or grit.
How 21 days to create a habit is a myth.
Missing a habit once in awhile is not a big deal.
Never missing twice.
