Had the opposite experience while reading the book: jelmerdeboer.nl/naval/ (might need Google Translate, if interested in reading my take)

That’s a shame, I really enjoyed it and got a lot from it. I do agree with your comments on Mark Manson though, I thought his book was full of fluff and very little insight. I enjoyed atomic habits but am amazed at the hype it has received.

I'm not a digital nomad, although I (used to) travel a lot. My girlfriend and I just had a baby and we're taking our first little trip together when she's 3 months old and will take longer trips in the future, once we get some type of comfort. So yeah, we're taking the baby steps @marc suggests.

@jelmerdeboer congratulations to you and your girlfriend on a new baby! Taking the first trip at 3 month old is super cool, I was afraid to leave the house at that time haha.

I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS

(kidding, Pieter has been really helpful)

The basic hypothesis of the book is that sudden high-impact events shape the world much more than planned or predicted events. But, as with all good books, I can't tell you in a few words why it's so good.

I'm rereading The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb.

What's good about it man?
