HOW TO TELL GOOD ADVICE FROM BAD ONES
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
The universe operates on simple laws, and so does advice. First Law: Good advice is simple. We complicate basic truths to feel superior, yet "show up consistently" remains true whether you accept it or not. Second Law: Good advice is boring. Bad advice promises overnight transformation. Good advice says show up at the dojo every Thursday for years until one day you're doing handstand pushups without thinking. Third Law: Good advice is constructive. It points toward futures worth creating instead of listing what to avoid. These laws work like gravity - they don't care if you find them pedestrian.
