Core principles
The "Backwards Law"
- The desire for a more positive experience is itself a negative experience. The more you pursue happiness, the less satisfied you become.
- The paradoxical key is accepting your negative experiences, which is itself a positive experience.
Happiness is a problem
- Life is an endless series of problems, and happiness is the process of solving them.
- The goal is not to have a problem-free life, but to find problems that you enjoy having and solving.
- Problems can't be avoided. They can only be exchanged for better, more productive ones.
Choose your struggle
- Who you are is defined by what you are willing to struggle for.
- People who enjoy the struggle of the gym, the long workweek, or the uncertainty of being an artist are the ones who succeed in those areas.
- Choosing to suffer for something meaningful is the path to a purposeful life.
