2.  What kind of book is these?
 In one sense, this book is a construction manual.
It describes the tools you will need for success,
and offers blueprints to help you build a
successful and rewarding life.

3.  Guarding against survivorship bias
We tend to only hear about the successes or
“survivors”- we don’t hear the stories of the
failures, thus overestimate the chances of success.
Swimmer’s body illusion
Confusing the factor for selection with the result(ex:
swimming gives you a great frame; actually, great
swimmers are born with a good frame for swimming).

4.  KEY LESSONS
 We tend to be engrossed by interesting. Whether it be
compelling stories or exotic explanations
 Our attention is very selective and narrow

5.  Making decisions can be tiresome especially when you
are faced with many possible choices.
 Our feelings guide our decisions more than we think.

6.  We tend to follow what the group does - and we’ll
conform to prevent ourselves from being.
 We systematically overestimate our abilities in many
areas of life.
 We can control and predict much less than we think.

7.  We interpret information so that it fits with our self – image
and our pre-existing beliefs.
 We determine the value of things based on their availability
and by comparing them to others.

8.  Expectations
expectations form our reaction to various events, and
contribute to our happiness. Set expectations high for
yourself and the people you love, and lower them for things
you cannot control.
Overthinking
if you think too much, you will lose the wisdom of your
emotional response.
