Key Takeaways

The 'Information Wants to be Free' thesis can be used to build multi-billion dollar companies by bringing transparency to opaque industries like real estate, travel, and salaries.

Mastering the specific jargon and vernacular of a target industry allows you to immediately bypass social gatekeepers and enter the 'circle of trust.'

Quality of life is directly tied to daily emotional states, which can be managed through radical changes in physiology, shifting focus to gratitude, and improving internal monologue.
