Side gigs
My family worked hard, made frugal choices, had fortune blow their way, and have been amazingly generous. Similar to your friend, I’ve been a lucky recipient. Old people, really anyone, can be great to be around. One of the places I volunteered at was a retirement home. And I make dinners, do art pr...

Dune 2
Mood is a funny one. I find it very easy to rationalize doing, and not doing, certain things. And that flows into the lessons on the Law of the Minimum and the Know Your Purpose. For example, yesterday I took a bunch of beatings when surfing and it was extremely frustrating. I wasn’t in the mood to ...

Daily default
I think it's a great idea that you're going for. The habit experts talk about making it as easy as possible. With reading, I try to always leave the house with three books I'm interested in. That way, if I find myself with down time, the books are right there. With the internet, it's tough! It is in...

Side gigs
I thought of the various people I know and if any of them had made decent money off side hustles.... A couple I know rented out three rooms in their (rented) four-bedroom house on AirBnB. At one point I believe they were making 10 grand a month. They really went above and beyond. They decorated, pai...

Mind-Body is One. This cunt didn't discover it.
Lenny, I'm a fan of surrounding myself with people, books, music, and art that helps me enjoy the moment or grow to be a better person. If Ellen Langer doesn't fit into those categories, I'd just not worry about it. And I like the term "medical hexing" you shared. Haha, that's a good one.

The news I saw was that Israel was attacked (biggest attack in 50 years, on the 50th anniversary of the last one) and is retaliating. Is that your take? Or do you think Israel started this latest round?

What Would You Be Willing to Die For?
My general sense is that protests have a risk of anger, violence, chaos, etc. I’ve been lucky to only have attended protests that stayed peaceful. But I’ve also witnessed firsthand the attempts of speakers to control the direction in a dangerous and/or self-serving way. Even if things were super fuc...

Lenny, I’m trying to imagine going through what you’re experiencing. If my door had a steel plate and bombs were flying. And all the other things that are going on were happening. If you’re underweight, I hope you can keep your pantry well stocked in case you have to hole up for a while. I hope you ...

What Would You Be Willing to Die For?
This was the other question from the Arthur Brooks/Tim Ferris podcast on “Four False Idols, etc.” This is a much tougher one for me to share. Not because the answer was hard to figure out, but because there’s a lack of confidence. Would I really do this? My answer is: “I’d die to protect someone who...

Lenny, I'm with you on the little acts of goodwill. Offering someone a hug who's having a hard day, cracking a joke, letting someone cut in line at the grocery store. It makes each day a little richer when you remember to look for those moments. Appreciate your always thoughtful responses, Your pal ...

Why Are You Alive?
My answer is: “To do awesome stuff and to help other people do awesome stuff.” There are a couple reasons I found this important, and why I wanted to share the question: 1) I don’t believe my point is in telling people about awesome stuff I’ve done. It’s just in doing it. Like Eric Liddell says in C...

Why Are You Alive?
Heard this question asked by happiness professor Arthur Brooks on Tim Ferris’ podcast. I think Arthur has been on multiple times, this podcast’s title is “Reverse Bucket Lists, The Four False Idols, And More” I asked one of my clients this question, a person whom I deeply admire, and she replied: “T...
