Why it matters: I’m a huge fan of Rolf Dobelli. He’s very down to earth and explains things in a straightforward way. I like the way the book is structured with short and compact chapters—a book I should come back to.

#Things to consider

  1. Part of the good life is provisioning for the future.
  2. Brains stores information in stories, compared to computers who stores information in bits. Constructing stories is the primary task of your remembering self.
  3. You don’t always need to have an opinion.
  4. Not believe too much in your own self-importance is one of the most valuable strategies for a good life.
  5. Only work with people you like and trust. It’s so useful dealing with people you can trust.
