We can make better decisions by embracing dissent. Dissent forces us to question the status quo, consider more information, and engage in creative decision-making.

To ascend the social hierarchies and achieve great power, you need to optimize and strategize rather than slogging and "working hard" every day of your life. This is counterproductive since it does not guarantee any beneficial results in the end. "Nobody can succeed by following rules in the first place.

Therefore, in order to do so and to make it among the top, you have to be ruthless and employ any tactic you know.

As children, we develop stories about how the world works, most of which get improved upon and amended over time. But some do not, even as we mature in other ways.

When we learn to identify and rewrite these stories, limitless growth becomes possible.

Does team chemistry actually exist? Is team chemistry as real and relevant as on-base percentages and wins above replacement? In Joan Ryan's groundbreaking audiobook, we discover that the answer to all of the above is a resounding "Yes". As Ryan puts it, team chemistry, or the combination of biological and social forces that boosts selfless effort among more players over more days of a season, is what drives sports teams toward a common goal, encouraging the players to be the best versions of themselves. These are the elements of teams that make them "click".
