“What weapon will slay the dragon? Whatever weapon is in my hands.”

A few weeks ago, we started keeping an Insight Log inside The Path:

A special section where our members share short, quick-hitting insights, quotes, and ideas as they come to mind throughout the day.

It is absolutely popping off.

Here’s a peek at a few of my favorite insights from the past week:



The Real Value of Small Talk
shared by Adan Maldonado
​
“Small talk is basically a short ritual that allows your nervous system to regulate in the presence of another human before you can begin to open up.”



The Ultimate Problem-Solving Frame
shared by me
​
“None of this is a problem, and solutions are abundant.”
​
The ultimate functional-and-accurate problem-solving frame; applies to damn near everything.
​
Let it permeate your mind until you feel it in your energy.



Simon’s Insights
shared by Simon Bitan
​
“What weapon will slay the dragon? Whatever weapon is in my hands.”
​
“A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
​
“Perhaps happiness is separate from wanting and not wanting.”



Feeding Your Awareness
​
shared by Callum Suttie
​
​“The more you feed into your awareness the less it can focus on anything; the less you feed into your awareness the sharper and more clear it becomes.”



The Shrinking Brain
​
shared by me, via. Chris Williamson
​
“The human brain, after growing for millions of years, has begun shrinking over the last ten thousand years.
​
Such shrinkage is consistent with increased cultural innovation, which allows more people to survive even if they’re not particularly bright.
​
They can get away with not coming up with the best answers but simply copying what most other people are doing.” – Rob Henderson & Michael Muthukrishna



There are many more, of course, inside The Path — these are just a few that resonated for me this past week.
​
I hope you enjoy, and benefit.
