Obvious Choice Podcast Episodes:

*If you only choose one, make it this one.

Money

1.

The author Jash Dholani on how to get things done:

"Make decisions, and don't waver. Nietzsche: "Close your ears to even the best counter-argument once the decision has been taken." You need this "occasional will to stupidity" if you are to ever finish the things you start."

 

Health

1.

It’s natural to work hard and go all-in on one thing, obsess over it, and get tired. Tired is good. But then you need to rest, recover, and sketch a different line, renewing your energy like a sprouting spring flower in early May.

2.

Change is hard. If it matters to you, make it matter. If something like transforming your body is important enough to do, at one point, it’s gotta be the focus of what you do. Stop squeezing it in like grains of sand around the other big rocks of your life.

3.

The Hindu Priest Dandapani and investing our energy wisely:

"If I took a watering can and I watered a garden bed, would the weeds or the flowers grow? The answer is both, because water has no ability to differentiate between weeds and flowers. Whatever gets watered in the garden will start to grow. Energy works in exactly the same way: whatever I invest my energy in will start to grow. If I invest my energy in something positive, it will grow and become more positive. If I invest my energy in something negative, it will grow and become more negative."

 

Relationships

1.

The late Anthony Bourdain on the best experiences in life:

“It’s those little human moments that are the ones that stick with you forever, the random acts of kindness.”
