Mais Esperto que o Diabo: O mistério revelado da liberdade e do sucesso by Napoleon Hill
4.0
Whether you take Napoleon Hill's interview with the devil literally or metaphorically, this book offers a lot of profound ideas on how to approach life.
Some key points:
- success and failure are both the result of habit, which follows a law of increasing returns; this means what happens in life is an accumulation of little things/situations/circumstances which builds momentum
- the idea of "hypnotic rhythm": people get caught into a rhythm or flow, which is informed by habits that snowball and build momentum, so good habits accumulate and lead to happiness and success while bad habits lead to failure
- purpose/intention is key to directing your life towards success
- #1 duty is to self, to live a full and happy life
- Hill criticizes the public school system for teaching kids subjects unrelated to reality of life; instead we should be teaching them practical matters like managing your money, budgeting time, good habits, mastery over self, etc.
- failure is good: it breaks hypnotic rhythm, allows mind a fresh start, new knowledge can be gained and is an opportunity
- failure is man-made concept: not real unless we accept it as permanent
