Clear Thinking ，has given me the greatest inspiration by clarifying what constitutes an error. It encourages having ideas, daring to try, and even if you fail, it doesn't count as a mistake. It's about trial and error, pushing the boundaries of one's abilities. So, I started my own book channel, and in less than a month, I had >30 subscribers and > 100 hours of playtime. This was a tremendous encouragement for me. I hope everyone can think clearly and work hard together.

1: Your position determines your future. 2: You can turn desired behavior into default behavior. 3: If you do what everyone else does, you will get the same results everyone else gets. 4: Outcome over ego. 5: While it might not be your fault, it is your responsibility.

Insight #2 was really helpful to me. Brilliantly using righteous rules to help us achieve our goals and live our values! Thank you Shane 🙏

Finished your book today and I have to say that I really loved it. I had great expectations, but you surpassed them. I will definitely integrate your tips and safeguards in my decision making process. Thank you and keep up the great work, Shane! Best regards from Brazil

I loved hearing you extrapolate on these insights on the recent pod with Tim Ferriss too. Great to hear this summary right after it again. Ordering the book now, thanks for all you do.

[@giantakeshi8122]

thank you Shane , being following you since lady 2 year and i’m happy that some of these insights have inculcated in me coz of your earlier insights

[@aniruddhsrivastava5781]

Second insight is actually the best one for me. You can only extend your own will power so much, but in a group that reinforces good behaviour, it becomes a habit or an instinct Thank you

Maybe you can take a look at our interpretation video; it might provide a deeper understanding for your reading of this book.

Really hard to hear but necesary to hear

[@zupurfeg89]

while interesting and probably very useful i'd like to know how some of these tips work with basic psychology - like, n.5 and self love/kindness, i can see conflict arise between the two

[@samehmke3396]

The concept of working harder then everyone else doesn't seem correct to me. Working Smarter does seem correct
