Improv As Life Training
- Improv principles translate directly to real life as low-stakes training for social situations.
- Ralph McLeod argues improv habits (listening, saying yes) prepare you for dinner parties, dating, and real interactions.
Prioritize Controllable Processes
- Focus on processes you can control instead of fixating on goals that depend on luck.
- Identify repeatable actions (listening, saying yes) and refine them to increase the odds of success.
