“In summary, drive on and ignore the local noise”

This is disastrous in many environments, but won’t sound as alpha or be as fun of a read.

The point about acting angry and then being angry being the same only tells me that about anger. I’m very skeptical this applies to joy or happiness as cranking a heart rate up is easier than down.

Interestingly, most the qualities the authors praise are what have created a rather polarized world: high stress leading to growth (my anecdotal experience is this is very false and VERY bad for society as a whole), confident rather than thoughtful (could be construed as arrogant and doesn’t work well in complex environments ), and always localize to overcome (I do like this one).

Overall, pretty typical “stick-to-idness” type reasoning.

Well, it's focused on business achievements, which is by-design competitive, with winners and losers, and lots of personal risks if you're a loser.

You shouldn't generalize it to refer to actual life-success and fullfillement, or our ability as a species to survive and thrive, etc.
