Most People Buy Into the Hydraulic Model of Emotion... which is the idea thatemotions are just like a blob of energy that sort of wells up inside you and you either push it down or vent it… and that’s wrong (basically folk psychology)
A better way to see it? “I think of an emotion like anxiety more like a recipe for baking a cake.” – Donald Robertson
CBT Is the Best? Exposure therapy in CBT has been used for decades and is probably the most reliable treatment for phobias and many anxiety problems
“You could take almost any good piece of advice and turn it into bad advice.” – Donald Robertson
Some techniques are just bad, others get misapplied because nuance is missing, so they backfire
Avoidance Is the Number One Coping Strategy and a Huge Part of the Problem
“Avoidance is the root of all evil.” – Donald Robertson
Avoidance blocks habituation, so you never get to discover that the feared situation is survivable or less catastrophic than imagined
Worry Postponement Is a Very Simple but Powerful Protocol: notice worry starting, tell yourself this isn’t the right time, write a brief reminder (tax mistake, conversation with boss), and schedule a daily worry period (for example, 7 pm) to revisit it
His Favorite Exercise for Social Anxiety Clients: in a coffee shop, loudly ask if anyone has seen your book “How to Overcome Social Anxiety, Blushing, and Shyness”
Were the Stoics the Original Psychotherapists?
Stoic philosophers treated emotions as value‑laden judgments: for example, fear as the judgment that something bad is about to happen and that you should flee.
On Passions by Chrysippus might be the first psychotherapy manual
Stoics distinguished between involuntary first movements (initial bodily jolts) and full passions, which are shaped by conscious endorsement of judgments.
That is similar to modern acceptance work: the first wave of feeling is not under full control, but interpretation and response are trainable
“If you want to be successful, surround yourself with people who are more successful than you are, but if you want to be happy, surround yourself with people who are less successful than you are.” – Naval
What Naval Looks for When Deciding to Invest in a Founder:
Intelligence. You have to be smart, which means you have to know what you’re doing to some level
Do they have insight? Specific knowledge? Have they thought deeply about this problem?
It’s not about age or years spent, it’s about depth of understanding
Energy, because being a founder is brutally difficult and takes a long time
In the long run, people who succeed are just the ones who persevere
If they run out of energy or hesitate, looking for constant positive feedback, or are easily thrown off course, they won’t make it
Integrity
If you have high intelligence and high energy but low integrity, you’ve got a hardworking, smart crook
In the startup world, things are dynamic and fast-moving. If somebody wants to screw you over, they will find a way
Ethics and integrity are what you do despite the money (if being ethical were profitable, everybody would do it)
Red flag: if a founder offers to do something unfair to another shareholder/employee/founder to make Naval happy, because if they can do it to them, they can do it to Naval
Naval’s Reading Hack: he started treating books as throwaway blog posts or bite-sized tweets
He feels NO obligation to finish any book
Anytime someone mentions a book, he buys it
At any given time, he’s reading 10 to 20 books, flipping through them
