Notes

Happiness is about solving life’s problems, just find the ones you enjoy

Pain serves a purpose. Life is about the pain you’re willing to sustain

Whatever makes us feel good will inevitably make us feel bad

Want the struggle, not the reward

You and your problems are not special

Stop worrying about stupid problems because you’re also fed a bunch of BS in your life

Obsess over improvement

To not confront your problems leads to meaningless life

Self-improvement: prioritizing better values

We are responsible for everything in our lives, no matter the external circumstances

Difference between fault and responsibility (you are responsible for everything)

You are probably wrong about everything

All beliefs are wrong, some are just less wrong than others

What if I’m wrong? What would it mean if I’m wrong?

Pain should be the best part of the process

Don’t just sit there. Do something. The answers will follow
