Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Ignore what you say, but notice what you do
• Your actions reveal your values
• When you’re making a decision between choices A and B, don’t forget to consider the benefit of doing neither
• Don’t oversimplify situations, acknowledge nuance
• Succinctness is a good tool to get ideas to spread and carry, but not so, for truth
• What you wanted five years ago, may not be what you want now and that’s okay!
• Ask yourself: what you want now vs. what you want most = shallow happy vs. deep happy
• “What you do may not mean anything in 50 years, but if you enjoyed doing it, that’s great “ – Derek Sivers
• Tips to help power down:
  • Charge your phone overnight outside your bedroom
  • No electronics in the bedroom! It’s not sexy

Derek Sivers is a writer, entrepreneur & musician.

Derek's episodes on The Tim Ferriss Show are some of my all time favourites so I was super excited to speak to him.

Expect to learn how to guide your choices at a crossroad, his views on excellence, why it doesn't matter if life has no meaning, why truth is less simple than it might seem, why the truth can be more complex than a simple answer, and when Derek is finally going to release his new books.
