Eight sets of annual review questions from Tim Ferriss, Shane Parrish, James Clear, Ramit Sethi and other top performers and coaches to help you review, reflect on and re-orient your life.

This is the story of my journey from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa to Princeton, USA and my education as a global citizen.

I want to go deep and talk about two important topics that aren’t talked about enough: PURPOSE and VISION.

In the world today, there’s massive amounts of anxiety, unhappiness and fear around work and life. Many people feel trapped in the rat race: chasing one thing after another in the hopes of finding lasting fulfillment.

Today, I want to share some short ideas on Purpose and Vision in the hope that they help you come to a greater sense of clarity and centeredness in your life. Do share it with people young and old who you think would benefit from it.

There’s a mental health epidemic going on in the world today: So many of us don’t feel good about being ourselves on a day to day basis.

At the root of it is self-worth. Self-worth, or self-esteem, is the value you place on yourself as a person.

It’s said that you’re better off reading the hundred or so greatest books of all time, over and over again, rather than reading every new book that’s published, or trying to read as many books as you can.

I pondered what my 100 greatest books of all time would be and which of them I’d want to re-visit in 2021. While I didn’t come up with 100, I came up with enough to last me the entire year. These are the books that made my list.

I want to share two takes on this theme of “Finding Your Own Way” from some of my favorite individuals, one from from the ‘angel (investor) philosopher’, Naval Ravikant and his friend, performance advisor, Kapil Gupta, and the other from Mr Art of Learning himself, Josh Waitzkin.

You should decide for yourself what you should work on, based on following your own curiosity and interest. Do the hard work of experimenting, exploring and thinking for yourself. Don’t outsource your thinking.

I’ve found that a critical component to living a happy and successful life is developing an internal scorecard: where you decide what’s important to you and you evaluate your life and performance according to that criteria. If you do not define success for yourself, you will get sucked into chasing what society deems as valuable. And what’s worse than playing a game with a prize you don’t want to win?

How do top performers become the best in the world? This is the question which Josh’s life and work will help you answer. I’ve written this post in order to collect all the bits and pieces of Josh’s wisdom and put them in one place for you to explore and digest. If you’re interested in learning, creativity, competition or becoming world class in your discipline, then you’d be wise to study Josh’s life and lessons carefully.
