AGAINST YOUR OWN SELF-INTEREST
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
This author reflects on the importance of acting against one's own self-interest at times in order to serve a higher cause or build long-term value in relationships. In an age of grifters and those optimizing purely for personal gain, it's crucial to be self-reflective, consider other perspectives, and make choices with an eye towards consequences beyond just rational self-interest. Ultimately, the author aims to embody these principles personally and gravitate towards others who share a willingness to look beyond narrow self-interest.
