This post is a contribution to Naval's Life Formulas I. I'm soon becoming a 23-year-old, so I thought it'd be interesting to make this exercise now.
This is my formula for life:
- Happiness = (Health + Wealth + Love) * Genetics
- Overall health = Physical health + Mental health
- Physical health = Exercise + Diet + Sleep + Natural well-being
- Exercise = Weight-lifting + Sports + Rest
- Diet = Animals + Fruits + Strategic supplements
- Sleep = No alarms + 8-9 hours + Circadian Rhythms + Sleep hygiene
- Natural well-being = Sunlight + Fresh air + Contact with nature
- Mental health = time alone + real-life activities + self-awareness - social media
- Wealth = Income + Wealth * (Return on Investment)
- Income = Accountability + Leverage + Specific Knowledge
- Accountability = Personal Branding + Personal Platform + Taking Risk?
- Leverage = Capital + People + Intellectual Property
- Specific Knowledge = Knowing how to do something that society cannot yet easily train other people to do
- RoI = Buy-and-Hold + Valuation + Margin of Safety
- Love = Family + Best Friends + Sentimental partner
- Family = Ascendants + Descendants
- Friends = Shared interests + Fun + Confidence
- Sentimental partner = Friendship + Sexual attraction + Commitment
