Simple formulas for a good life (simple, but not easy).
Getting rich
• Spend less than you earn. Wealth is built by saving more than you spend and investing the difference.
• Invest early & consistently. Small, regular investments compound into massive wealth over time.
• Avoid bad debt. High-interest debt works against you—pay it off fast and focus on assets.
Being Healthy
• Burn more than you eat. Weight loss comes down to a simple calorie deficit.
• Exercise + good food = longevity. You need both for long-term health—one alone isn’t enough.
• Prioritize sleep. 7–8 hours a night improves mood, focus, and physical health.
Relationships
• Trust + honesty = strong bonds. Without them, relationships crumble.
• Listen more than you speak. Understanding comes from truly hearing others.
• Quality > quantity. A few deep relationships bring more happiness than many shallow ones.
Personal Growth
• Effort > talent. Hard work beats raw talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
• 1% better daily = massive growth. Small, consistent improvements lead to big results.
• Discomfort = growth. Growth happens outside your comfort zone—lean into challenges.
• Self-discipline = freedom. Control your habits, and you’ll control your life.
Productivity
• Focus on the vital few. The 80/20 rule: most results come from a few key efforts.
• Do one thing at a time. Multitasking reduces quality—focus wins.
• Plan your work, work your plan. A clear plan saves time and effort.
• Tackle the hardest task first. “Go ugly early” to gain momentum.
These are all simple, but not easy. Deploying these formulas in your own life will require effort and perseverance.

Good advice, there’s no magic formula, but I think this is the closest thing to it. Although it’s difficult, if time preference is prioritized, just be consistent
Good Vibe✨🫡
I agree with all of this except that “weight loss come down to a simple calorie deficit”. Gary Taubes debunks this pretty convincingly in Good Calories, Bad Calories - worth a read
@HODL consistently delivering the good goods!

Many truth bombs here. I particularly like:
'Effort > talent. Hard work beats raw talent when talent doesn’t work hard.'
Many of my colleagues are more talented than myself but because I work harder ultimately I've been more successful.
Bullish on these formulas.
I got into Bitcoin in 2019. I've been orange pilling since 2020. Every single person NOW tells me, "I missed it." I immediately grab their phone, download River, and show them how to buy 10 dollars of Bitcoin a week. "Small regular investments compound into massive wealth over time." American Hodl, Alais: The shit. The Tits. The man, the myth, the ledgend of his own mind. lol, love you bud.
Beautifully said. 🎯
Thx Legend!
Calorie in and calorie out is only applicable in closed systems. We are not a closed system. You might want to look into Jack Kruse and what he can share about decentralized health. You may become a sun worshipping mitochondriac like me now. 😂
lol trust me I have spoken to Jack many times about this
I'll add to the others about calories: eat a calorie deficit of cereal-based crap and you still get horribly out of shape, eat as much as you physically can of meat eggs butter fish and you will get lean even if you are a couch potato.
True...💯
super solid advice, HODLOSHO
Very useful advise. I relayed it to my son who appreciates it!
how many hours per day on nostr?
Love it! 🤟
Good receipe. Thanks
Needed this. Thanks.
Wow, such Tony Robbins!
Wen seminar?
Dude I could have written this. Absolutely agreeing to this. Exactly this!
Only thing I’d add: ask more questions. There is so much to learn from others and it’s often just one question away.
First of never
a lot of wisdom being spoken here.

This is false.
Taubes is wrong. Is there nuance, yes. But the law of conservation of energy is not theoretical. His argument is. He selectively quoted a meta-study and left out key details. He is an author trying to sell books.
As a general rule, don’t take diet advice from someone who looks like a melted candle.
I’ve been running tests to see how many people can tell if it’s gpt or not. About 10% of people can tell
I assume the people that notice use it regularly. It's a "template" response from ChatGPT at first look
It's only missing the emojis XD

Health is a Habit and Wealth is a Mindset

Tangent to the content, “simple, but not easy” reminded me of Einstein’s quote, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
Law of conservation of energy only applies the closed systems. The human body is not a closed system.
Working always on most areas. Consistency is hard.
Solid 💪 🪨

the Being Healthy section is the most important. I might actually look into that some more.
I would've made more posts about if if Amethyst didn't use so much data to fetch Nostr messages...
Words of wisdom right there 🤛
🙄 You can’t debunk something by writing about it in a book. You have to debunk through proven experimentation.
Show me the proof that you got lean while eating in a caloric surplus. If you did, you’d have a Nobel Prize and a thousand coaching clients.
Banger.
Yes sir 🫡 🔥
ALSO REMEMBER STAY HUMBLE STACK SATS ⚡️
How so?
I cannot gain weight, and I fill up my stomach with as much fat animal food as I humanly can.
I have found more accounts on this from other people.
🎯
Great! I'd say Save in Bitcoin early & constantly rather than “invest” though.
All very sound wisdoms.
also. * more boobies
If you’re not gaining weight, then you’re not in a caloric surplus.
You may just have a limited appetite, but if you take in more calories then you expel, you will gain weight. It’s a very simple equation.
Individual differences surrounding metabolic rate, hormonal function, calorie expenditure, and digestion will affect one’s ability to be in a surplus.
Just filling up your stomach until you’re full isn’t a strategic enough plan to put on weight, especially if the goal is to build lean tissue. Taking in the right balance of protein, carbs and fats and at times that promote good digestion/assimilation is the strategic part of this.
Providing a strong enough stimulus to initiate muscle growth is the first step, of course.
