    The Dangers of Survivorship Bias

    In the early days of World War II, the U.S. military was losing too many of its planes in battle. To stem the tide, analysts started mapping the bullet holes on the returning planes. Their plan was to add armor to the specific areas of the planes identified by the exercise. Based on their analysis, they came to the conclusion that reinforcement to the tail, body, and wings would improve their odds of survival. But a young statistician named Abraham Wald raised his hand with a warning: They were making a tragic mistake... ••• Mel Robbins called my first book "a powerful wake-up call that will push you to rethink everything about how you’re spending your time."  Join 400,000+ other readers and get it today on a big sale!

    Are Low Expectations The Key To Life?

    The late investor Charlie Munger was known for his prolific wisdom. Perhaps his wisest insight of all came when he was asked to reflect on the source of his own happiness: “The first rule of a happy life is low expectations. If you have unrealistic expectations you’re going to be miserable your whole life.”His words echo an old aphorism, which says that low expectations are the key to life. My friend Morgan Housel once ​wrote​: “Actual circumstances don’t make much difference…What generates all the emotion is just how big the gap is between expectations and reality…Everyone, everywhere, doing almost any task, is just in pursuit of finding some space between expectations and reality.”So, by definition, if you keep your expectations perpetually very low, you’ll always be happy. Right? The science does seem to support this general idea... ••• Mel Robbins called my first book "a powerful wake-up call that will push you to rethink everything about how you’re spending your time."  Join 400,000+ other readers and get it today on a big sale!

    The Archimedes Principle: The Science of Sudden Insight

    In the 3rd century B.C., a man named Archimedes steadily built a reputation as one of the greatest scientific minds of the era.

    How to Thrive (A Science-Backed Approach)

    In 1978, an American futurist named Roy Amara offered a reflection on the progression of technology: “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.”The statement—which later became known as Amara’s Law—was, in many ways, a reaction to the unique period of change that the technological world was experiencing... ••• Apple CEO Tim Cook called my first book "a powerful call to action to think deeply about what lights you up."
