The Best Investments in the World2025-11-03
“The best investment you can make is in yourself.”
—Warren Buffett
Your survival and health, and those of your progeny, are the most important life success goals. All the rest is secondary, can be built on these, and can be recovered if lost.
If follows then that these are the best investments: investing in living in a safe and non-polluted area, having safe transportation, good natural organic food, access to daily exercise/walks in nature, a great bed(room), a great spouse. Having access to good healthcare, and practicing concierge-level preventive healthcare. Avoiding addictions. These are all Category 1.
Then you can get to work, and build. Wealth, influence, socializing, making the environment better, contributing to the general culture. You can lose some or all of those, and still be fine, able to come back. These are all Category 2.
Category 3 are chasing mindless entertainment and other addictions.
Yet most people do not have their priorities straight. They invest the majority of their resources (time, energy, attention, money) in achieving Category 2 goals, or waste them on Category 3.
Planning in the mornings, journaling at night, can help keep people on track. Our Life x Mind app has a Good Life daily checklist, and many other tools to help with Category I. It is like a Swiss-Army knife for those who want to be truly successful in life.
