Observations from:

First 4:

The Life Brief A Playbook for No-Regrets Living Bonnie Wan

Next 3:

Look Again The Power of Noticing What Was Always There Tali Sharot

Next 3:

A Curious Mind by Brian Glazer

    1. Start practicing and stop planning.

    Planning close your mind to opportunities that might come from actually practicing and doing things.

    Plans prevent us from seeing the pathways around us

    2. What you can plan is too small for you to live

    3. Get messy get clear and get active

    4. give yourself permission to stop doing certain things

    This can be liberating

    5. habituation

    getting used to something like the smell of a litterbox or your perfume. Or a spouse, drugs, exercise, fear, etc.

    It can be both negative and positive: getting used to reality.

    6. What used to be amazing to us becomes part of life’s furniture unless you work hard to avoid it

    7. Failure to habituate can cause of many mental illnesses like depression.

    8. Dr. Seuss still sells 11,000 books a day in the United States

    9. Curiosity can become a discipline and then a habit

    10. The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.
