Overconfidence isn't rampant among experts or novices. It peaks among dilettantes. Evidence: People who are somewhat informed tend to give wrong answers instead of admitting they don't know—and lack interest in learning. A little knowledge can be more dangerous than none.

Doing hard things is unpleasant in the short term but rewarding in the long term. Doing easy things is appealing in the short term but hollow in the long term. It took me a while to learn this, but the lesson is clear: Effort is its own reward.

Setting boundaries is not a display of disrespect. It’s an expression of self-respect. Declining a request is not a decision to let others down. It’s a commitment to stand up for yourself. Saying no is not an admission of selfishness. It’s an act of self-preservation.

One of the hardest but most important practices: realize that you are not the stuff inside your head. You are the awareness that decides what to do with the stuff inside your head. The ability to choose which thoughts to pursue and which to leave behind is key to everything.
