This is how to rig the game in YOUR favor this time

📚 The Reading Life 📚

“Most people prefer the certainty of misery to the misery of uncertainty.”

-Virginia Satir

I’ve taken some pretty wild risks in my life (my mother reads this newsletter, so I won’t go into any further detail than that), but the biggest risk that we all run is not getting what we want out of life.

That would literally be the worst possible outcome.

Imagine: Going through your whole life, NOT getting what you want.

Wanting something and not being able to have it/achieve it.

I Ask You: How is that a good quality of life?

Stoic philosophers would recommend reducing your desires (potentially great advice, actually, if I’m being honest), but Dan Nicholson, author of the criminally underrated business book, Rigging the Game, teaches people how to reduce their anxiety and their uncertainty.

He shares how to do this in all areas of life, but he’s particularly brilliant at effecting this kind of magic in the area of business.

Even simply understanding his Four Commandments of Financial Certainty could change everything for you.
