    What Hacker News says

    1. bsenftnerApr 2012
      Read and understand about "Cognitive Distortions" - the methods we use to lie to ourselves. It has helped me significantly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_distortion

      I also suggest you enroll in an MBA program, even one class at a time, if necessary. Optimism is alive and in abundance in MBA programs, and it will infect you in a positive way. Plus, the skills gained will support practically everything you want to do for the rest of your life.

      If an MBA program sounds suspicious to you, pick any issue of Harvard Business Review and read it cover to cover. The articles are "how to" for business situations, but in reality are describing how to accomplish goals at the edges of one's capabilities. That's infectious too.

      And, of course, exercise 3-6 times a week, eat all your meals, eat healthy meals, get good sleep, and completely ignore recreational drugs, including alcohol. There's always time for that crap after you have some professional and financial security beneath you.

      A book I really got inspired by: "How to be a Billionaire". http://www.amazon.com/How-Billionaire-Proven-Strategies-Tita...

      Something about the images and formatting makes this look like one of those “Buy my book for $20 and find out how to be a billionaire by selling books for $20” Tai Lopez type things.
