This Scientific Ratio Can Dramatically Boost Your Self-Improvement Quest
It’s easy to spend too much time reading and not enough time acting on what you read. This formula can help.
I binged on self-improvement books during the quarantine, and I’m sure many of you did too. It was the perfect time to do so. Non-essential offices were shut down, restaurants were closed, supermarkets were to be avoided when possible.
Precisely because everything was shut down, however, there was plenty of time to absorb new ideas but little time to focus on their implementation.
It’s very easy, as you finish one self-improvement book, to start anticipating the next… not putting into action the ideas you read from the current one.
Science is here to help as things start to open back up, and we have more opportunities to get out into the world and experiment.
The golden ratio
In mathematics, the golden ratio exists between two numbers when the ratio of
the larger to the smaller
is the same as the ratio of
the larger + the smaller to the larger
