Halo Effect
#storytelling
Amjad Masad suggests that life is essentially self-storytelling, yet few people recognize themselves as authors rather than mere subjects of their narratives. High-agency individuals grasp this early and intentionally craft fascinating life stories.
This isn't mere vanity—an interesting personal narrative compounds your success by attracting friends, partners, and customers through its natural ==halo effect==.
When faced with difficult choices, Masad recommends selecting the option that would make for a more compelling story. Even if the decision proves suboptimal, you'll at least have gained an engaging tale to share. As he puts it: "Do it for the plot"—and whatever you do, don't return to the mundane "carpet store" of conventional living.
