1. Too often we only think of our story, and neglect the role we can play in the lives of others.
2. People do not care about the mistakes you make or the personal accomplishments you achieve. Instead of feeling sad about this, take it as an opportunity to take more risks and live free from the opinions of others.(video under 8 minutes)

I've found these two videos to be a great summary of how the economy works.

1. How is Wealth Created? [only 9 minutes]
2. Ray Dalio, Founder of Bridgewater Associates, explains what happens at a macro level as borrowing increases/decreases throughout economic cycles. [30 minutes]

1. What would life be like if we went back to a hunter gatherer society? Deep in the Amazon Rainforest, there are still uncontacted tribes living the same life that their ancestors would have known. The uncontacted tribal people know nothing of COVID-19, presidential elections, and recessions, but they also know nothing of modern medicine, grocery stores, or the internet. How does their happiness and stress compare to our own?
2. No one can know for sure how to make money in the public markets. If you're going to get guidance from anyone, Howard Marks is one of the best.

Some of my favorite blogs:

1. Marginal Revolution is the only economics blog you need to read.
2. Mr. Money Mustache writes an entertaining personal finance blog, and can be considered one of the founding fathers of the FIRE movement.

1. James Clear on the benefits of breaking something down to its simplest form and working back up from there (first principles).
2. An interesting way to visualize how the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) compares to past pandemics.

1. Courtland Allen of IndieHackers and guest Rob Fitzpatrick discuss strategies for validating business ideas. [PODCAST]
