I grew up thinking everything is black or white - when it turns out to be mostly grey

giving makes you happier; selfish vs selfless

What areas are you selfless - relationships, work, social
gratitude - fake it until you make it, you become really attractive
abundance - scarcity mindset - time, money, partners, business

Ideas for next meetup:

John: Fitness. Healthy Eating. Track your body/wellness. Genetics.
Ivan: What to do with Quantified Self data
Leo: Social Awareness - How other’s emotions affects us - Find a way to channel it more positively
Tyler: Quantified Self. Ways of applying the things we’re talking about - perhaps accountability partner system.
Jennifer: The more tech we have, the less connected we become as human beings. No one wants to talk to the other.
