Summary
Are you sure you want to be rich? Consider the cost in stress, alienation in family, and slander beforehand. You may reconsider...
In this video, I talk about the laws of the jungle about getting rich. I’ll share what evolutionary psychology teaches us about wealth, human behavior, and how you can expect life to change once you start making more money.
Life is about theory and practice. That’s what makes you a master. Your goal is to be less wrong than right about your decisions, but no one comes out of this game without scars.
Everyone dies the same in the end. Not everyone is built to play the same game when they’re alive. Just consider the fact that everything comes with the costs I talk about in this podcast.

| 0:43.4 | and you're still intrigued, well listen up. |
| 0:46.1 | So the first one, conscientiousness. |
| 0:48.3 | Sure, sloppy people create wealth once in a while, |
| 0:51.6 | but not that often. It's a myth. It's a myth by those who teach you |
| 0:55.8 | that this world's a fair place. This is the laws of the jungle. And the jungle, if you ever |
| 1:00.2 | watch a nature movie, has very little to do with what's fair, what's reproductive. |
| 1:05.2 | It's called functionality and evolution. If you study evolutionary psychology, evolutionary |
| 1:10.3 | biology, I should read Robert Trivers. I'm lucky enough to have him as a mentor but he |
| 1:16.4 | started the Harvard Evolutionary biology department and there's rules to this |
| 1:20.8 | jungle and the rules aren't necessarily kind. |
| 1:23.9 | Now what is conscientiousness? |
| 1:25.3 | Conscientiousness breaks down into four sub-fests. |
