Comment on 6 Essential Insights on The Future from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger by Alasdair Plambeck

“It is an incredibly profitable skill to be able to see the world as it is and not as we want it to be.” -Agree whole heartedly…notes of stoicism and buddhism in that comment!

Got it. I misread your comment then!

That is exactly how I understood it to be. Perhaps I “explained” my thinking wrongly. My thought was that if we use the reverse-engineering process, we can see how to acquire some of that trust for ourselves… which, naturally, means someone else in the circle is losing out.

Thanks for reading and commenting Colin :).

I likewise have found the concepts you’ve mentioned helpful both personally and professionally. A lot of professional lessons I apply, I learned when I was losing a lot of weight earlier in my life.

Comment on How To Read 60 Books a Year by Taylor Pearson

Two angles to come at that.

1. Yes, I read primarily on Kindle and use http://clippings.io/ to sync all my Kindle notes to my Evernote where it is easily searchable.

2. I don’t think remembering everything is necessarily the point. I know that’s the way most people learn to read read because you read in school to remember what’s on the test, but I read more for the experience and the change. After I finish a particularly impactful book, it changes the way I see the world even if I don’t consc...

Hmmm. Perhaps I didn’t fully articulate it but what I’m getting at is that everyone has a limited amount of trust. Using Dunbar’s numbers as a proxy for trust, everyone has 150 trusted people in their lives. It’s possible for one individual to hold the trust of more than 150 people though the methods you elaborated, but it’s still a zero sum game. If i develop a strong affinity for a brand or artist or whatever, that comes from someone or something else.

Taylor, really enjoyed this post. What’s interesting to me is how much I correlated this back to my own PERSONAL development and growth I already do and the realization I don’t apply the same methods to my productivity or PROFESSIONAL life.

I’ve spent the last year or two diving deep into personal transformation, learning a lot about myself, what’s important to me in order to be fulfilled, and ultimately being able to identify all the things that get in my way. Just as you said, finding what’...

Do you have a system to recorder on notes or journal all the important things you learned by reading so many books ?
I think after Reading 60 books itis easy to forget a Lot.

The conservation of trust issue is mitigated by relationship building. I know it’s become a buzzy concept over the past few years, but the truth is sometimes absurd, no?

If you look at the concept from a purely personal standpoint, it would seem you can reverse-engineer and apply it to the business world in a similar fashion. The circle of people I trust has certain qualities, and triggers that act as a short hand when a new person comes onto my radar. That short hand allows me to quickly de...
