It may be that there's nothing new in what Kapil says, yet I do value the way in which he says it.

I prefer his direct and succinct approach over what you hear from popular sources of counsel such as Tim Ferris, Gary V, Tony Robbins, and - dare I say - Naval.

And unlike their advice (work 3 jobs you hate, delete emails you don't like, practice not finishing things), most of what he says won't ruin your life.

I spent the last few years building a business and Kapil's writings got me through some of the lower moments:

- A man is who he is. Until it is no longer acceptable to him to be who he is

- Humans do not like being alone. The ones that do have a chance at Freedom

- The Mind does not assault man for his mistakes. It assaults him for the cover-up

- If there was one single thing that stands between man and his freedom, it is the belief that he has time

At the end of the day, there's nothing new under the sun and so the value of a person's words lies in the impact that they have on you.
