Here we go again with thoughts of my week.

Something I keep doing

Reading a deep/thorough book for 30 min in the morning. Currently it’s: Montesquieu’s Spirit of Law.

Montesquieu, the man behind the theory of Separation of Powers, had ever lasting ideas. This is implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. 

Best of what I read

• Human Action, Von Mises (Rating so far: 8)
• Diderot, Audible biography (Rating so far: 6)
• Dao of capital, Mark Spitznagel (Rating so far: 9)
• Safe Haven, Mark Spitznagel (Rating so far: 9)

Something I keep using

• Audible. I use it in long walks.
• My backpack. Mandarina Duck. It’s great and I’ve been using it for 5 years now. Would buy it again.
• Reminders app on iPhone as a planner. More on this later.

Best of what I watched

Sami Yusuf’s Beyond the Stars concert.

Something that changed my mind

Putting focus on what I am good at and makes money VS what I love and doesn’t necessary generate good money.

Something new to try

I really like espresso (single shot) recently. Pure, clear, and simple. I like the bitterness.

Something I’m remembering from the past

My dad and his prayers.

Why do I dislike <person, place, an article>

Jordan Patterson. Never liked him. And his recent views are even worse.

What’s one thing I cant stop talking about?

I can’t stop talking about something I want to learn about. This makes people eager to teach me more.

• Politics
• Law
• Nutrition, sport and health
• Tranquility (ala Seneca)
• Nassim Taleb (NNT)
• Antifragility (ala NNT)
• Barbel Strategy (ala NNT)

How can I make my days better?

One focus for the whole day. Or split a day into two and have 1 focus each. Doing it a lot recently and it’s paying off.

Say thanks for 1 guy today.

Just sent a message to my friends who I had great conversation with recently. I can’t thank them enough on how kind they are. Thanks, my friends.

• Mehdi Zonjy
• Abd Nizam
• Hussam Sandouk
• Zaher Wanli
• Hasan Sarhan

That’s it for this week. Peace, Salam.
