i went to a retreat called the hoffman process last year
life changing for me! the storytelling we do are also patterns - patterns we learn from our parents, who learnt from theirs
they taught about the 4 parts of yourself - the quadranity, and it was incredibly helpful to facilitate a convo between my intellect vs my emotional child
from there you can see where narratives are spun from wounds, or shame, or as a way to protect yourself

Ogilvy on Advertising by David Ogilvy
recommended to me by a senior marketer. not everything is applicable given the digital age, but the fundamentals are still good lessons.
main takeaways:
• tons of minor details when creating ads like typography or headline creation
• ads should always be created with the intention of viewers reading alone
• stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process. this helps to open up your unconscious mind.
• do not kill successful ad campaigns until it has proven to not work anymore. literally MILK and squeeze it dry
fav quotes:

fav quotes:
I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information. When I write an advertisement, I don’t want you to tell me that you find it ‘creative.’ I want you to find it so interesting that you buy the product.

The reason I want you guys to read actual physical books (for hours at a time)
is bc it is genuinely one of the single most important things for your brain
It slows your attention to a natural, healthy speed, and heals the dopaminergic brain rot of social…

Sharing 8+ meals a week with people has the same happiness boost as DOUBLING your income.
And yet we eat alone 53% more than we did 20 years ago.
