I have attended the very first workshop (last summer, it was a full week) and the first workshop this summer (3 days). Both have been extremely helpful in terms of broadening my understanding of what is possible, and how I can get there. This workshop will supply you with all the tools to succeed. It will even teach you how to use those tools in the most effective way possible. And it will even motivate you to actually use them! I can say without over-exaggeration that both of the workshops I attended were life-changing for me, and now I'm doing so much better than I could have without them. I use the skills I learned in those workshop every day, for things big and small: value of information calculations, fermi estimation, noticing rationalizations, optimizing and modifying my mood, noticing when I'm not being strategic, updating on evidence, and noticing the big irrationalities in my life, like not interacting with enough people. I could go on, but I hope I made my point pretty clear. :) I hope you'll sign up for this, and I'll see you at the after-party!
