How To Join The Top 1% Of Intelligence

“Many smart people are
lonely, broke, unhealthy, and angry at the world

Ok, I get it. It is about setting and following a goal.
But wait, what goals?
From Ego Development Theory, we get the direction:
HORIZONTAL – Lateral expansion at the same stage.
Developing new skills and adding information and knowledge.
VERTICAL UP – Transformation.
Growth to a new stage and perspective.
VERTICAL DOWN – Temporary or permanent regression.
