What should you build first if you want to succeed: knowledge, skills, relationships, resources or reputation? Why can being bizarre sometimes be a better strategy than being normal? And why might trying to prove yourself right actually make you worse at making decisions? Inspired by Steven Bartlett’s bestselling The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws of Business and Life, this guided discussion will explore some of the book’s most interesting and useful ideas about how people build careers, businesses and lives. You absolutely do not need to have read the book — Omar will introduce each concept, explain the thinking behind it and give everyone plenty to discuss.

The session will be hosted by Omar, a successful tech entrepreneur, who’ll take four of the book’s ideas and push them beyond the page. We’ll explore the “five buckets” and why the order you fill them matters; why standing out can be more valuable than fitting in; how negation and challenging your own beliefs can lead to better decisions; and the old saying that “the devil is in the details” — including when attention to detail becomes a waste of time. Expect practical examples, disagreements, thought experiments and ideas you can apply to your own work and life. It’s part business, part psychology and part life philosophy — with 33 laws as the starting point, not the final word.

如果你想获得成功，最先应该建立什么：知识、技能、关系、资源，还是声誉？为什么有时候“有点怪”反而会比“很正常”更有策略？为什么一心想证明自己是对的，反而可能让你的决策能力变差？这场引导式讨论受到 Steven Bartlett 的畅销书《CEO日记》33条成功法则的启发，我们会探索书中一些很有意思、也很实用的观点，看看人们如何打造职业、事业和生活。你完全不需要提前读过这本书。Omar 会介绍每个概念，解释背后的思路，并给大家留下足够多可以讨论的空间。

本场活动将由 Omar 主持。他是一位成功的科技创业者，会选取书中的四个想法，并把讨论延伸到书页之外。我们会聊“五个桶”理论，以及为什么填充它们的顺序很重要；为什么脱颖而出有时比融入更有价值；否定和挑战自己的信念，如何带来更好的决策；还有那句老话“魔鬼藏在细节里”，包括什么时候过度关注细节反而是在浪费时间。

期待实际案例、不同意见、思维实验，以及你可以带回自己工作和生活中使用的想法。这场活动一部分是商业，一部分是心理学，也有一点人生哲学。33条法则是起点，不是终点。
