Advice on how to live is simple: 1) Learn (travel, fail at something, shadow someone) 2) Prune (decide what is worth learning (e.g does learning another programming language add much value compared to learning about the behaviors of a market or larger ones like learning about a girl))

I'm definitely going to look into this book because it seems like it helps people work on pruning which I believe is the hardest part of life.

However I feel that you (Jason) may have taken away some wrong things from the book because: "This is how most successful people I know have built their careers, and it always starts small." While this may be one of the largest pipes that create your definition of success, it is not the only one. People may need the life experience of working as a barista before starting their career for several reasons; or they may want to work at a hostel while traveling for several years to learn more about the world. The rate in which careers develop vary greatly from person to person and at what point; why base it on the average successful individual?
