I've been working at @podcastnotes for almost 2 years.

During that time, I've taken notes on 400+ podcasts.

Here are my top 10 favorite podcasts of all-time.

(thread) 🧵

10/ Naval Ravikant (@naval) on The Knowledge Project (@ShaneAParrish)

Taking notes on this podcast landed me the job at PN and introduced me to the vast wisdom of Naval.

I loved learning about Naval's reading system, his advice on happiness, how he views habits, and much more.

9/ Josh Wolfe (@wolfejosh) on Invest Like The Best (@patrick_oshag)

Josh is a brilliant investor with an arsenal of fascinating mental models.

A few of my favorites:

• Don't be boring (2x)
• 100-0-100 investing strategy
• Chips on shoulders put chips in pockets

8/ Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) on JRE (@joerogan)

Mike is a savage but he's also incredibly wise.

Growing up, he studied all the great conquerors from Genghis Khan to Charlemagne. What did he learn from that? The hardest thing to conquer is yourself. A must-watch podcast for sure.

7/ Bret Weinstein (@BretWeinstein) on The Portal (@EricRWeinstein)

Bret discovered that tests on lab mice were flawed because of selected breeding and that basically all drug testing should be redone.

He should've won a Nobel Prize for that discovery but he got robbed.

You've heard of Moore's and Murphy's Law.

But did you know there are dozens of other laws that can help you better navigate life, business, relationships?

Here are 20+ powerful laws you should know:

Note:

Some of these laws are better known as principles, effects, or razors, but for the sake of simplicity, I call them all laws.

Now let's dive in!

Amara's Law:

• We overestimate technology in the short run and underestimate it in the long run.

Never forget how fast tech moves.

The first cellphone was a foot tall and could only make calls.

An iPhone today fits in your pocket and can do everything a laptop can do.

Alder's Law:

• If something cannot be settled by experiment then it is not worthy of debate.

Don't waste your time arguing if Jordan was better than LeBron or any other similar hypothetical situation that can't be tested.

There are a million better ways to spend your time.

Acton's Law:

• Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Be prepared for people to change once they get a new position.

When someone becomes powerful, you'll find out their true colors and discover if they're actually a good person or were just pretending.

39 habits you can start today (that will teach you more than a 231 page self help book):

Brain dumping

A pen and a paper will change your life.

Each day, take 5 minutes to write down everything on your mind.

This helps you process what's on your mind so you can think clearer.

Focusing on one thing at a time

Multitasking reduces your productivity.

Your brain can't productively focus on more than one thing at a time.

Trying to multitask is why you have those "busy" days where you're exhausted but got nothing done.

Meditating

Regular meditation can:

• strengthen your focus
• increase self-awareness
• improve impulse control
• make you more creative
• reduce your stress response reactivity

Shutting off your screens 60 minutes before bed

The blue light from screens disrupts melatonin production.

(Melatonin is the hormone that makes you feel sleepy.)

Staring at a screen up until you go to bed will make it hard to fall asleep.

Try reading by lamplight before bed.

I went from 900 to 125,000 followers in 12 months.

But 90% of that growth came from 9 threads - which on their own generated 20,000,000 views.

So here's a recap of those 9 threads (and what they can help you with):

I studied math at Princeton - mostly because I hated writing.

But colleges do a horrendous job teaching you to write.

So I spent 200 hours learning to write on my own.

Then, I summarized the frameworks I

College completely failed in teaching me how to write.

So I spent over 500 hours studying legendary authors and copywriters.

Then, I distilled what I learned into 6 simple frameworks.

Stambheshwar Mahadev Temple, Kavi Kamboi, Bharuch, Gujarat

Stambheshwar Mahadev is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Bhagwan Shiva, located in Kavi Kamboi in Bharuch District District of Gujarat, India. The Temple is about 150 years old. 1/n

The Temple is also known as the Submerging temple. The Temple is flanked by the Arabian Sea on one side and the Bay of Cambay on the other side.

As per legend, Tarakasura troubled the common people, sages and devas a lot. 2/n

Hence, Bhagwan Kartikeya k!lled him, but later he felt guilty for killing a demon who was a great devotee of Shiva. He went to Prabhu Vishnu and told about his guilty. Bhagwan Vishnu advised him to install a Shiva Linga to get relief from the sin. 3/n

As advised, he installed the Shiva Linga in this place and prayed to Bhagwan Shiva to forgive his sin.
The temple is located in Kavi Kamboi between the shores of Bay of Cambay and the Arabian Sea. This Temple is very simple temple in terms of architecture. 4/n

Every day, during the high tide hours, the temple submerges, and when the tide level becomes normal, the temple reappears again. The Temple houses a 4 feet high Shiva lingam. The Lingam can be seen during low tide. The visit to the temple should be planned in such a way that..5/n

RISHI BHRINGI AND ARDHA-NAREESHWAR SHIVA

Rishi Bhringi was a devoted bhakt of Mahadev. However, in his devotion to Shiva, he ignored Mata Parvati.

Once, he visited Kailasha along with other Rishis. All the Rishis did parikrama of Shiva and Parvati both except Rishi Bhringi.

The same situation continued whenever Rishi Bhringi visited Kailasha. Mata Parvati decided to teach him that Shiva and Parvati are one and inseparable.
So on one such visit, Mata Parvati sat on the left lap of Mahadev when Rishi Bhringi came.

Seeing this, Rishi Bhringi took the form of a bee(some say bird) and did pradakshina/ parikrama only around Shiva’s head and ignored Ma Parvati.
Angered Mata took away the Shakti from his body. Rishi lost his blood and flesh and was left with a bare skeletal form.

Seeing him in such a situation where he was unable to support himself, Shiva granted a third leg to him.
Shiva then fused one half of his body with that of Ma Parvati and appeared as Ardha Nareeshwar.
Rishi Bhringi finally realised that Shiv and Shakti are one and the same.

Did you know?
Ahilyabai Holkar was one of India's
greatest women rulers of all time.

Ahilyabai was Born on May 31,1725 in the village of Chondi,Jamkhed distt,Maharashtra to a man named Mankoji Shinde,who was the Patil(Chief) of a village and a member of proud Dhangar Community.

Despite the fact that girls' education was a farther dream in those days, Ahilyabai was homeschooled by her father.
Ahilya didn't belong to any royal family but in a twist of fate she is still remembered as one of the most revered Queen in the history.

While they were living their humdrum lives, one day Malhar Rao Holkar, commander of the Peshwa Bajirao & Lord of the Malwa stopped in Chondi on his way to Pune, where he couldn't help but notice a young 8yrs old Ahilyabai in the temple service feeding the poor & hungry.

He was so impressed by the sheer innocence&beauty with simplicity character of Ahilyabai dat he asked her hand in marriage for his son Khanderao Holkar.Just like that she got married to Khanderao in 1733 at a tender age of 8&became a bride of esteemed Maratha community of Holkars

But destiny had something else in store for her as her husband died in the Battle of Kumbher in 1754 leaving her widow at 29.Distressed Ahilyabai was to commit Sati when her father-in-law Malhar Rao refused to let it happen.
