“Be the designer of your world and not merely the consumer of it.” A good quote from the book. I also like the amz workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels, teaches mindfulness meditation.

I've red the whole book before this video and you've summarized it great! What was most impressive in this book was: 1.01^365 = 37.78 times improvement, while 0.99^365 = = 0.03 - you literally become a zero! So compound interest and compount habits really do matter, even if you don't see the difference between 1.00 and 0.99 or 1.00 and 1.01.

[unwovened]

Sorry... I was too distracted by "rewind" instead of reward said twice at the start of the video.

Small things do matter.

[camla]

Why do you say rewind instead of reward? It was very distracting to see reward on the screen and hear rewind.

[grahamkey]

Good summary of the book. The book itself is nothing new. I struggle to understand why it has become such a bestseller when there are a hundred books just like it published every day.

Your website is terrible - it doesn't let me sign up! :(

The wealth of nations is a horrendous book. As with all conservative theories of economics it's not well thought through or explained.
