“This is the book I wish I'd read before I made every major decision in my twenties, not because it tells you what to decide, because it exposes the fundamental error in how you evaluate your own decisions, an error you're making every single day and don't even know it.” source
“You were not designed for one purpose. You were designed for an intersection.” source
“The brain has a finite processing capacity, and every single decision, no matter how small, is drawing from the same pool of resources you need for the creative and analytical work that actually matters.” source
“You're not living your life. You're living your fear of other people's judgment, and it has cost you everything authentic about you.” source
“You have two brains and they're lying to each other, and the one you trust the most is the one that's wrong most often. That book showed me that the machine I was using to navigate the world, my own brain, is far less reliable than I believed.” source

“You don't use reason to form your beliefs. You use your beliefs to select your reasons, and everyone you disagree with is doing the same thing.” source
“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.” source
“The most powerful tool you have for changing your mental state is not in your mind. It's the thing you've been doing wrong 40,000 times a day.” source
