Some bits and pieces I found interesting in Ferriss' book:
“I always say that I’ll go first. . . . That means if I’m checking out at the store, I’ll say hello first. If I’m coming across somebody and make eye contact, I’ll smile first.

“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.”
‘Is that a dream, or a goal? Because a dream is something you fantasize about that will probably never happen. A goal is something you set a plan for, work toward, and achieve.
“What am I continuing to do myself that I’m not good at?” Improve it, eliminate it, or delegate
"You might need to CTFO (chill the fuck out) a few minutes a day before you BTFO (burn the fuck Out)"
“Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.’—Peter Lynch”
"In order to move fast, I expect you’ll make some foot faults. I’m okay with an error rate of 10 to 20%—times when I would have made a different decision in a given situation—if it means you can move fast."
