| 6368a56 | The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure.

| 662324c | You don't need more recipes. You need to learn to cook without them. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 4a8d0d2 | courage was more important than confidence. When you are operating out of courage, you are saying that no matter how you feel about yourself or your opportunities or the outcome, you are going to take a risk and take a step toward what you want.

| 0076030 | What we really need to do, to design, is look at the extremes. The weakest, or the person with arthritis, or the athlete, or the strongest, the fastest person, because if we understand what the extremes are, the middle will take care of itself." In other words, the extremes inform the mean, but not vice versa." | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 95b6c21 | Law 6: When forced to compromise, ask for more. Law 7: If you can't win, change the rules. Law 8: If you can't change the rules, then ignore them. Law 11: "No" simply means begin again at one level higher. Law 13: When in doubt: THINK. Law 16: The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live. Law 17: The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself. (adopted from Alan Kay) Law 19: You get what you incentivize. Law.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| 6820b6e | No newspapers, magazines, audiobooks, or nonmusic radio. Music is permitted at all times. No news websites whatsoever (cnn.com, drudgereport.com, msn.com,10 etc.). No television at all, except for one hour of pleasure viewing each evening. No reading books, except for this book and one hour of fiction11 pleasure reading prior to bed.

| dd4b252 | If you're confused about life, you're not alone. There are almost seven billion of us. This isn't a problem, of course, once you realize that life is neither a problem to be solved nor a game to be won. If you are too intent on making the pieces of a nonexistent puzzle fit, you miss out on all the real fun. The heaviness of success-chasing can be replaced with a serendipitous lightness when you recognize that the only rules and limits are .. | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| d023b2c | What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the "real world"? What advice should they ignore? [My advice:] Pursue every project, idea, or industry that genuinely lights you up, regardless of how unrelated each idea is, or how unrealistic a long-term career in that field might now seem. You'll connect the dots later. Work your fucking ass off and develop a reputation for going above and beyond in all situatio.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| 828f28c | Top academic institutions are wonderful, but there are unrecognized benefits to not coming out of one. Grads from top schools are funneled into high-income 80-hour-per-week jobs, and 15-30 years of soul-crushing work has been accepted as the default path. How do I know? I've been there and | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 0bc802f | Did you eat half an Oreo cookie? No problem. If you're a 220-pound male, you just need to climb 27 flights of stairs to burn it off. | Timothy Ferriss | ||
| 9794743 | 1. She switched her breakfast to a high-protein meal (at least 30% protein) a la the Slow-Carb Diet. Her favorite: spinach, black beans, and egg whites (one-third of a carton of Eggology liquid egg whites) with cayenne pepper flakes. 2.

| f2da68a | There is all the difference in the world, however, between two kinds of assistance through government that seem superficially similar: first, 90 percent of us agreeing to impose taxes on ourselves in order to help the bottom 10 percent, and second, 80 percent voting to impose taxes on the top 10 percent to help the bottom 10 percent--William Graham Sumner's famous example of B and C deciding what D shall do for A. | Milton Friedman | ||
| 308df61 | No one can disagree with the objectives of the legislation that culminated in the 1962 amendments. Of course it is desirable that the public be protected from unsafe and useless drugs.

| 7a697b6 | The harm done by the FDA does not result from defects in the people in charge--unless it be a defect to be human. Many have been able and devoted civil servants.

No doubt there are exceptions, but they are rare--almost as rare as barking cats. That does .. | Milton Friedman | ||
