What Makes a Good Life?
What Makes a Good Life? James Altucher is a smart guy who has spent many years trying to figure out how to live a richer life. Recently, he published this little group of equations that are – in my experience of trying to do the same – very true.
Persistence + Love = Success
Reality / Expectations = Happiness
Fear + Denial = Anger
1% compounded every day = 3700%
Great Idea * Different Great Idea = Unique Idea
Community + Mastery + Freedom = Well-Being
(My Wants > Their Wants) + Other Choices = Negotiation
Big + Safe + Easy + New = Sales
The 5 people you’re around most / 5 = You
Who you are + Why you are + Why now = Creativity
