I tended to read only personal development books myself. That's a good learning experience, but I later realized that it doesn't help me much to get fresh ideas. So I recently learned to diversify my readings. Luciano: Great example, Luciano! Your example clearly shows the power of arbitrage. In arbitrage we essentially try to "borrow" value from other worlds without spending too much time and effort to create our own. Lyman:

It's a double-win! I never thought about it before, but reading you post, I completely agree that arbitrage is really a key to living smart. I see it this way: For social arbitrage, for example, when you connect two different worlds, it's like in trading: the trader doesn't need to master neither of the two worlds. He doesn't need to invest a large amount of energy to become an expert, but is able to provide value that neither of the experts could alone...

I could use some work in all three areas you mentioned... especially the reading. In his Art of Exceptional Living workshop, Jim Rohn talked about people who just stick with personal development reading... he said "You've got to get out of the second grade!" :) Great concept, and great tips, Donald.
