The Daily Wake Up Micro Podcast
Business:Entrepreneurship
The twentieth book read in July was, “Screw Being Shy,” written by first time author, Mark Metry. Mark is a LinkedIn Influencer and the creator/host of the Humans 2.0 Podcast. What I liked most about the book was his honest description of his life, and what he’s learned. It didn’t feel like there was an “agenda” like other books I’ve read.
Another facet of the book I liked was the diversity in subject matter as it relates to our emotions and behaviors. From serotonin being produced by the gut to algorithms not caring about our happiness.
With all the good information provided by the book, the one thing that jumped out to me the most was his two daily reminders of “You’re Gonna Die One Day.” He writes:
Reminding yourself you are going to die is not only the best invention of life,
but is also the deepest sense of motivation that exists on planet earth.
So once at 9:00 AM and again at 3:00 PM, Mark is reminded through a notification that reads: “You’re gonna die one day.” I’ve always believed living like we are dying is the best way to live, having two notifications to remind us of the fact is genius and on a whole another level.
