Rick Rubin has low heart rate variability.
So he looked up everything that raises it, picked one technique, and started doing it every day.
It worked.
The technique: coherence breathing. 10 to 20 minutes a day, at least once, sometimes twice.
Now he and @hubermanlab do it ou can follow along:

Revolut founder Nik Storonsky has roughly 50 direct reports.
It works because of who he hires. Excellent people find the goal and reach it themselves. Good people reach it once it's explained. Average people need repeated guidance.
He replaces the ones who need too much of his time.
And he's been wrong too often to trust intuition alone, so the bottom quarter of new products gets shut down.

Hetty Green, the "Witch of Wall Street," built a $100 million fortune before women could vote. More than once she bailed out New York City personally.
Her line: greed doesn't drive the world, envy does. Cure yourself of it.
Two of her deal rules: sleep on a bargain before you close it. And if anyone is foolish enough to offer you the full amount, take it.

"Acquiring knowledge is easy. The hard part is knowing what to apply and when."
Naval keeps his principles high-level and incomplete on purpose. Most advice is so dependent on context that copying someone's exact steps rarely works. You do the thing first, then reread the aphorism and finally get it.
How reasoning turns into judgment and then taste (Naval Podcast):

"The best dentistry is no dentistry."
Functional dentist Dr. Staci Whitman says we carpet-bomb our mouths with alcohol, astringents and strong oils. That damages the oral microbiome and can make things worse. Brushing is there to break up plaque, not strip everything away.

Dr. Kelly Starrett's rule for every age: get down onto the floor and back up at least once a day. Use help if you need it, less over time.
Spend 30 minutes a day on the floor. Stretching, sitting, watching TV, anything.
"One aspect of your physiology that will not change, does not have to change is range of motion as we get older."

Josh Waitzkin's fix for chess blunders: change the order.
Most players decide, make the move, then write it down. He decides, writes it down, then makes the move. Writing it is a last common-sense look at the board.
Hemingway's version: end every workday mid-sentence, so tomorrow starts already moving.
"Doing less is a huge part of doing much more."

Milan Kundera thought kitsch was much bigger than tacky art.
A dogs-playing-poker painting is the small version. The big version is fake sentiment running politics, ideology, and most of our relationships.
Stephen West calls The Unbearable Lightness of Being a funny first philosophy book. What Kundera's "animal test" of morality says about you (Philosophize This! #234):

You get better during recovery, not during training.
Whoop founder Will Ahmed says the very best athletes (the 1% of the 1% of the 1%) are obsessed with the 20 hours a day outside practice. For a healthy weekend warrior, raising HRV 5 to 10% in a year is a big win.

Usain Bolt took exactly 40 steps to run 100m in 9.58 seconds.
Coach Stuart McMillan says most athletes, NFL players included, can't truly sprint.
His on-ramp for everyone else is skipping: 30 seconds skip, 30 seconds jog, repeat. Hills are easier on the joints than flat ground.
"Genetics get you in the room. Environment shapes what you do in that room."

People walked into Jim Simons' office and thought he was asleep. He was lying on the couch in the dark, thinking.
The mathematician and codebreaker built Renaissance into a money machine with more than $100 billion in profit.
His first rule: "If I'm one of n people doing the same thing, I probably won't win."
And: "Anytime you hear financial experts talking about why the market moved, remember: it's all nonsense."

"Confidence is not feeling like you're the best at something. It's feeling like it's okay to be you when you're not the best at something."
Dr. Becky Kennedy's other line, from her second-grade teacher: if something feels too hard to start, the first step isn't small enough.
Why she says repair is the single most important relationship skill, and the exact words she uses after she yells (Huberman Lab):

Dogs wag more to the left when they feel bad and more to the right when they're happy.
Horses hate being patted. They'd rather be scratched at the withers.
Cats handled for an hour or more a day between 2 and 8 weeks old grow into the cuddly ones.
Dr. Karolina Westlund's consent test: scratch, then stop. If they lean in, they like it.

"To Dostoevsky, being independent is not a synonym for being free. Being independent is a synonym for being alone."
Notes from Underground is about a man who can't act. He's stuck between accepting reason and rejecting it.
He's offered unconditional love and pushes it away, because it doesn't fit his theory that people only love you when you're useful.

Lots of readers take Meursault, the narrator of The Stranger, as Camus's model of how to live with the absurd. Stephen West says that misreads the book. Meursault is detached and indifferent. Camus isn't holding him up as the answer.
