Nothing is as Important as You Think It Is
"You got to chill out. When I think about the things that in my 20s I was so intense about, I cared so intensely about, I'm like, what? The thing you're thinking about is never as important as you think it is."
Description
Ryan Holiday reflects on how we waste energy getting worked up over things that don't really matter. Looking back at his 20s, he realizes all that intense worry and stress was pointless. The crisis that keeps you awake at night? The deadline that feels life-or-death? In a few years, you'll barely remember them. This lesson teaches us to step back and ask: "Will this matter in 5 years?" Most of the time, the answer is no, so why let it ruin your peace today?
