Life lessons can be really boring to read.

If joining the circus, becoming a musician, and starting a website that sells for millions of dollars — while giving most of the money away — isn’t an interesting life, I don’t know what it is.

Derek Sivers is a 50-something quirky genius who featured on one of the most popular podcasts of all time and wowed everybody. I read through the podcast comments and it appears that people loved how candid Derek can be, and how he is able to take complex ideas and make them simple.

Derek wrote another book recently called “Your Music And People.”

You’d think it was a book about being a musician. As usual, it’s not. His book, dedicated to musicians, is actually disguised as a book of life lessons. Here they are for you to choose from and level-up your life.

Reply to every email. It’s the greatest habit.

This life lesson doesn’t come from Derek’s book. It comes from my experience of emailing Derek for the last few years.
