#22Sleep and exercise are the two most important things you should absolutely be doing to improve your life. Followed by diet and meditation. Also, if you’re anything like me, forcing yourself to spend time with people will make you significantly happier. (Speaking as someone who has a tendency to isolate themselves.
Two points:
1.) I strongly, strongly agree.
2.) With the exception of meditation, for some people meditating can actually be dangerous/bad for many weird complex reasons.

#23Economics is not the type of system you're used to studying. It's weird, complex, and has extreme unintended consequences that at hard to predict and often impossible to solve. The same intuition that leads you to be excellent at solving closed system problems will lead you astray in economic systems.

Source? Genuinely curious, surprised I haven’t stumbled upon that before. I know long retreats can trigger psychosis, but that’s at one extreme

Sleep, exercise, diet and meditation are my weakest qualities...
That's essentially the worst thing you could be doing for your long term health and happiness. I suggest starting with sleep, moving to exercise (compliance is better than difficulty, i.e. better to start walking and follow through compared to saying you'll go to the gym 5 days a week and go 0).

#28Look ahead and set goals for your future. It's much nicer if you decide what it will be rather than random luck deciding.
