"Certainly in the beginning you might think that money is the answer. After that, you might think that more time is the answer. After that, you might think, I simply need to care more for the physical vehicle, or I want to learn more. Then it's really just about acquiring skills, maybe they're productive skills, or maybe they're just for fun. And then, at some point, you have to sit in a room and be able to live with yourself."
I get that Ferriss is a polarizing figure here (for his namedropping and "killing it/crushing it" vibe), but I find his relentless self-improvement through self-experimentation fascinating. His books are worthwhile on their own, but even better as documentation of one man's quest to level-up his life.
