8 Tactics for Dealing with Haters

From Tim Ferriss' Tools of Titans:

1. It doesn't matter how many people don't get it. What matters is how many people do.

2. 10% of people will find a way to take anything personally. Expect it and treat it as math.

3. When it doubt, starve it of oxygen. Attention is the same as oxygen to the haters.

4. If you respond, don't over-apologize.

5. You can't reason someone out of something they didn't reason themselves into. Don't get down in the mud with a pig.

6. "Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity." - Colin Powell. Self-explanatory.

7. "If you want to improve, be content to be though foolish and stupid." - Epictetus. One of the rules to live by.

8. "Living well is the best revenge." - George Herbert. Have seen this quote attributed to many but the truth remains.

Currently Reading

Here's the books I'm currently reading: 

Just finishing up Michael Lombardi's latest book Football Done Right. Will probably do a Substack post on this book soon but I highly recommend it. Perhaps the best book on the NFL I've read. Liking it so much because I'm also reading it in Lombardi's voice.

Reading Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson. At the point where PayPal was just sold in the book. So far enjoying it very much.

Re-reading The Russia House by John le Carre. Have read the book and seen the movie in the past but am finding the context of the War in Ukraine gives the book deeper meaning than I appreciated in the past. Am having a hard time picturing Barley as anyone but Sean Connery though.

About halfway through Tim Ferriss's Tools of Titans. The Internet related content may be somewhat outdated but finding great book recommendations and timeless quotes. Still feel a real-world MBA based on just the books of Walter Isaacson and Tim Ferriss would be a big winner.
