Alex Amouyel | Life Audits and Diversity in Problem Solving

The Lesson: 

Everyone can make an impact if they give 10%—effort, time, money, etc. to ensuring that across all dimensions of life they are making a positive impact rather than a negative one. Sometimes it takes a hard look in the mirror, but it's always worth it in the end.

Notable Excerpt:

"[Do] an audit of your life across all the different categories. So career and job is one of them, but also your money, volunteering, your side-hustles, your family or the institutions you're part of, look at all your life and first start rating it by how much time are you spending on these categories and then whether you're having a positive-neutral-negative effect."
