Summary

Andrew Wilkinson is an entrepreneur, co-founder of Tiny, and an investor. "I'll be happy when..." is the beginning of many people's mindsets about life and happiness.

Does this pattern ever stop? Expect to learn whether successful people are just disordered, if SSRIs aren’t actually that bad, what Andrew learned from Warren Buffett, whether there's a number you reach in your bank account to feel like you ‘made it’, why wealthy people distort reality, where to find smart people to hire for your business, how to learn to trust your entrepreneurial gut and much more...
