Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

I mean, like, if you give away and you're getting more...

And everybody does that.

The arithmetic doesn't add up.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Kevin Kelly - Be Generous and Unique - [Invest Like the Best, CLASSICS]

And that's the paradox.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

So the paradox is that the most selfish thing you can do is to be generous.

And so much flows from that, that by giving away, you're increasing your own happiness.

And that's the other little bit of advice.

Giving away 10% of what you take in may seem like you've just reduced your purchasing power by 10%.

Every person who does this will tell you that the happiness and the satisfaction and your life's well-being will increase by tenfold.

That 10%, you don't even notice.

So yeah, so I think people are naturally want to be kind given all things.

And what we want to do is to make that as easy as possible.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

There are some very, very practical ones that I was very happy to include.

Because again, I was writing this for my kids originally, which is that if you...

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Kevin Kelly - Be Generous and Unique - [Invest Like the Best, CLASSICS]

lose track of something in your household, in your workshop, in your garage, and you finally find it, don't put it back where you found it.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Kevin Kelly - Be Generous and Unique - [Invest Like the Best, CLASSICS]

Put it back where you first looked for it.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

I repeat that to myself all the time when I'm putting things back, okay?

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

Put it back where I first looked for it.

That's a piece of advice.
