Book notes:

"Need speed? Slow down. —David Allen, Getting Things Done"

"The language of your subconscious is pictures."

"Beta brain waves are associated with lots of good things: alertness, problem solving, logic, and, as Herrmann says, “high states of arousal.” The beta state is where you do most of your conscious thinking. For example, your Ant is all about beta brain waves."

"Alpha is a super important state to understand, because alpha is strongly associated with memory, with recall, and with learning. Your brain remembers better when"

"you’re in alpha, it recalls better in alpha, and so you do your best learning when you’re in alpha."

"To be clear: A morning ritual involving some combination of these elements is the single biggest common denominator among the most successful people in the world. Ask any successful entrepreneur, leader, top producer, professional athlete, or otherwise wildly effective human about their “morning routine.”"

"If you want to be average, learn what the majority does and do that. If you want to be extraordinary, learn what the majority does and do the opposite. —Unknown genius"

"your brain is always talking to you, and the quality of that dialogue is a major determinant of where your mind focuses, and thereby the quality of your life."

"Understand the difference between busy and productive."
