Daizy Patel continues the review of the book The Almanack Of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness (By Eric Jorgenson)·
Naval says:
“If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you?"
Being anti-wealth will keep you from getting wealthy because you won't have the correct attitude, spirit, or energy with other people. If you adopt a relative perspective, you'll always despise those who succeed more than you and feel jealous or envious of them.
Humans are hardwired to sense the innermost feelings of others. When you attempt to conduct business with them, they will pick up on your emotions. If you try to do business with someone, they will sense whatever negative feelings or judgments you may have about them.
He reminds us:
"You have to get out of a relative mindset .... Be optimistic, be positive. It’s important. Optimists actually do better in the long run."

Esha Gupta continues the review of the book "Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?" (Author, Seth Godin)
Chapter - The new world of work (contd.)
Was the System Always About Obedience?
Our current view of society has been centered around our factories, and our jobs.?
Although the way we see things now may be the new normal, the old normal existed for a very long time. It was unheard of to inform your family that you were leaving home for a "career" at a factory of some kind. There was a massive societal upheaval when it first began to occur five or six generations ago. It caused a global shift.
A factory job is not a natural state of affairs. Until recently, the factory model wasn't "at the heart of" what it meant to be a human. Because of cultural brainwashing, we have been led to believe that embracing the hierarchy and lax accountability that come with industrial jobs is the one, the only, and the best course of action.
