Hello,

This week's edition will discuss my Discovering Personality course, the uniting power of story, and naivety.


** The Discovering Personality Course
------------------------------------------------------------

My Discovering Personality Course ([link removed]) Black Friday Sale ends in 48 hours. The following rule was the inspiration behind the course:

Rule 7: Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient.

There are a trillion things to pay attention to - almost all of them are irrelevant. I would argue there are few subjects more meaningful to study than your personality and the personalities of those around you. In the 5 hour course, you will find more information than in the typical full-scale semester personality course at university.

The course is at $69 (53% off) for this Black Friday.

"You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you're going to take. That's it." (Share this on Twitter ([link removed]) )​

"The purpose of life, as far as I can tell… is to find a mode of being that's so meaningful that the fact that life is suffering is no longer relevant." (Share this on Twitter ([link removed]) )​

"Perhaps you are overvaluing what you don't have and undervaluing what you do." (S ([link removed]) hare this on Twitter ([link removed]) )

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson:
"Stories are the most powerful things humans ever invented. They're the most powerful tool we possess."

Dr. Angus Fletcher:

"We see in stories, and this is partly why our eyes are adapted... so that people can see [the white in] our eyes. It's really important because [our eyes point at] what they're interested in. We can see what they value [and] infer their motivation."

Naive Men Get Burned | Jordan B. Peterson
​​
Dr. Peterson:

"Most people who trust are naive, and naivety is not a virtue; it's a fault. It's partly a fault because if you're naive, and you run into someone malevolent, including you, they might do you incalculable damage so that you will never recover. So that's not a good thing. You don't want to be naive.

If you're not naive, that means you've been burned once or twice or three or four times. Once you've been burned in that manner, well then it's hard to trust because you think, "well why would I trust you, or me for that matter knowing fully well that I can be betrayed," and so then you're cynical, and you think that's an improvement over being naive.

The conundrum in young people is that one becomes more cynical than naive, and it's often premature.

This is how you get out of the conundrum, and it's a crucial thing to know—you trust people because you're courageous. That's why."
