Every Wednesday, I publish one essay & 10 interesting things that will help you become healthy, wealthy and wise 👇
Essay of the week
If you are reading this, that means the reverse psychology trick worked.
I believe some part of us will always have that child-like curiosity no matter how old we get.
When we ask someone not to do something, we always do it.
So this week I wanted to try this out. I tweeted out saying “Do not read my header”
Here’s what my header + bio looks like 👇
And it worked. Over 5k people read the tweet and I saw a huge bump in website visits.
Here are some more examples of Reverse Psychology marketing:
Add reverse psychology to your marketing tactics and watch the numbers get a bump.
Tomorrow is the last day to join the One5.Club as we are starting the first cohort this Sunday (1st May 2022)
To our newsletter readers, I’m giving out 50% scholarships.
UPI is also available (₹499 for the first cohort)
10 Interesting things for you 🙌
1. Kevin Kelly’s 1000 true fans is one of my all-time favourite blogs today is his birthday and he shared 103 bits of advice I wish I had known (Blog)
2. Something from my Twitter👇
3. How to write more clearly, think more clearly and learn complex material (Blog)
4. Transition to web3 - guide for non-technical roles (resources)
5. Interesting Human of the week:- Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor. (read more)
6. Question of the week:-
7. Picture of the week:- I was in Chennai and I saw this digital billboard thing in a big gated society.
Taking things out of context just because it becomes an exciting headline is very bad when they trigger curiosity in young minds.
Ofcourse it was a joke.
8. Current read: Couldn’t read much. Kept travelling. Also, if you are in BLR, let’s meet.
9. Meme of the week:- Few understand this
10. Quote of the week:
"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." - Banksy
(Tweet this quote)“Maybe our favourite quotations say more about us than the stories and people we’re quoting” - John Green
(Tweet this quote)If you truly want to know how rich you are, drop a tear and see how many hands come to wipe that tear - Gaur Gopal Das
