"
And so if you think of Clear Thinking, the book that I wrote, I sort of... There's three overarching themes to it. One is how you position yourself, determines whether you're playing on easy mode or hard mode. How do you manage the urges? This is two, how do you manage the urges that get other people into trouble, including the social default? And three, how do you think independently? And I think you need the first two in order to think independently.
The subtitle of the book is turning ordinary moments into extraordinary results.
It has to be practical and applicable in real life and it has to help people in scenarios that are difficult to be able to help them.
So in the book, there's a lot of safeguards and a lot of rules around here are things that you can implement that the tricky part is I'm giving you examples but you really have to take what are the desired behaviors I have and how do I create defaults around these desired behaviors?
