Introduction

• Heartaholic: Someone addicted to doing things the hard way
• The speaker's goal: Help transition from heartaholic to asiologist (someone who does things efficiently)

Key Concepts

Difficulty Addiction

• Many people choose the hardest way to do things, potentially to feel smarter or more diligent
• No merit in choosing the difficult path simply for the sake of it

Be an Asiologist
