What Joe Hudson has said about Self-improvement

Hudson suggests a starter experiment of enjoying whatever you are already doing about 10% more, five times a day for a week.

Hudson recommends spending a week doing only what you enjoy, which forces you to find enjoyment in unavoidable tasks like taking out the trash.

“Don't do anything you don't enjoy for a week. Go to work and you can only do the shit that you enjoy”

Hudson says enjoyment is the best measure of efficiency because it determines whether you have energy to return the next day.

“if I get to the end of the day and I say, how much did I enjoy myself? That's the best measure of efficiency because I have energy for the next day and I want to come back”

Hudson says positive emotions are the scariest for most people because they destroy identity.

“especially the positive emotions. But they're the scariest emotions for most people to feel because they're the biggest identity-destroying emotions”

Hudson proposes testing meaning by asking whether you would sell the venture for a billion dollars if you could never do it again.

Hudson says most very high performers simultaneously believe they are more capable than others and fundamentally broken.
