Quotes from the book " The Laws of Human Nature"

Quotes from the book "The Laws of Human Nature" - Robert Greene. If you come across any special trait of meanness or stupidity, you must be careful not to let it annoy or distress you, but to look upon it merely as an addition to your knowledge - a new fact to be considered in studying the character of humanity. Your attitude towards it will be that of the mineralogist who stumbles upon a very characteristic specimen of a mineral. - Arthur Schopenhauer. We see the results - our thoughts, moods, and actions- but have little conscious access to what actually moves our emotions and compels us to behave in certain ways. Man will only become better when you make him see what he is like - Anton Chekhov. Like everyone, you think you are rational, but you are not. Learn to question yourself: Why this anger or resentment? Where does this incessant need for attention come from? Evolution has led to the higher mammalian brain being composed of three parts. The oldest is the reptilian pa...

Quotes from the book "supercommunicators" - Charles Duhigg

This is another remarkable book by Charles Duhigg, who masterfully engages his audience and presents a structured framework for the concepts he explores. That's what truly stands out about his works. Here are some quotes from the book that I felt insightful. Supercommunicators aren't born with extraordinary abilities but have instead devoted significant thought to the dynamics of conversations. The extent of speaker-listener neural coupling is a key predictor of communication success. Conversations about identity are best framed by three essential questions: - What's this really about? - How do we feel? - Who are we? Each type of interaction—helping, hugging, hearing—corresponds to different communication needs, demonstrating that various situations call for different kinds of conversations. Recognizing "What's This Really About?" in any discussion is crucial. Decision-making processes, whether grounded in analysis and reason or empathy and narratives, must be...

One of the most powerful quotes comes at the end: "Just as dust collects on the floor, ego will cloud your judgment. As you must sweep the floor daily , you should check your decisions for ego."

Football coach Bill Walsh explained, "self-confidence becomes arrogance, assertiveness becomes obstinacy, and self-assurance becomes recless abandon." This is the ego, as the writer Cyril Connolly warned that "sucks us down like the law of gravity" If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity. Humble in our aspirtations. Gracious in our success. Resilient in our failures. We can seek to rationalize the worst behavior by pointing to out...

Resilience is the capacity of any "entity... to prepare for disruptions, to recover from shocks and stresses, and to adapt and grow from a disruptive experience. One of the recommendations was that when the NSA finds a hole in widely used software, it should tell the manufacturer, with rare exceptions. Those exceptions would be approved at a high level by the government. If we have data, let's look at data. If all we have are opinions, let's go with mine. There are two kinds of companies: those that have been hacked and know it; and those that have been hacked and don't. Needs to do to protect itself fits into one of five core "functions": Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Software was not built to be used, it was built to be bought by someone at the top. Cybersecurity Framework's five fun...
