quote
“I’m convinced that the best things in life are:
Red wine, honey, Croatian olive oil, being self-employed, love, old books, the Bialetti Moka pot, sunsets, and living in a neighborhood that wasn’t planned by modernist architects. Anything else is strictly unnecessary.” Vizi Andrei |

"If you’d expect this to be another regular self help book, you’d be disappointed. It’s more like a fresh breath of air. A very personal and organically harvested collection of aphorisms on great profound thinkers and thoughts on lifestyle design.

“Show your anger when needed. People need to know what irritates you and what doesn’t.
But, crucially, remain internally calm.
Your anger is only a tool. Don’t become its puppet.”

“Kindness without truth comes across as flattery.
Truth without kindness comes across as disrespect.
Those who manage to find the sweet spot are the most persuasive.”

“To win an argument, rely on logic. To win in life, question logic.
If you’re not willing to take some actions that don’t make sense, having a mediocre life will make perfect sense.”

“If you want to have a calm discussion about a hot topic, use an arsenal of cold phrases.”
― Economy of Truth: Practical Maxims and Reflections
― Economy of Truth: Practical Maxims and Reflections
“We often discuss issues such as pollution, poverty, or corruption from a global perspective; yet we fail to consider them locally—in our city, neighborhood, or even family. We’re thus trained to be irresponsible: the more we think and talk about problems we can’t control—the more virtuous we feel but—the more we neglect the problems which are in our control.”

“You can‘t think for yourself. No one can. We cannot think independently of other human beings.
Our thinking process is the product of what we read, watch, experience and whom we socialize and hang out with.”

“Logic, if used as the main instrument for thinking, frustrates the functions of the mind—it doesn‘t improve them.
Great ideas are the result of undirected curiosity, creativity, serendipity and higher pleasures.”
