The smartest people I know…
This page stopped me in my tracks.
1. Obsessively read books.
2. Pursue new mental models.
3. Enjoy intelligent discourse.
4. Quickly admit when they’re wrong.
5. Are comfortable changing their opinion.
6. Surround themselves with intelligence.
7. Seek to understand every perspective on a topic.
This isn’t just a list—it’s a lifestyle. One worth aspiring to daily.
As someone who coaches others on how to read better, grow smarter, and think deeper—this list hits home. Growth doesn’t come from knowing everything. It comes from remaining curious, coachable, and committed to learning.
Which of these traits do you already live by? Which one are you working on?
