Every claim below was made in this book, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The book prints chapter headings its extracted text does not preserve, so the claims below are in the book's order but not grouped. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Impressing people is utterly different from being truly impressive.
  2. Talk depletes us

    Talk depletes us.
  3. The art of taking feedback is such a crucial skill in life
  4. Pride blunts the very instrument we need to own in order to succeed
  5. In this way, ego is the enemy of what you want and of what you have
  6. In actuality, silence is strength—particularly early on in any journey
  7. What replaces ego is humility, yes—but rock-hard humility and confidence.
