Hey there! Nik here.
Today, we're publishing a summary of Same as Ever, Morgan Housel's new bestseller.
The book is about understanding what never changes instead of obsessing over what the future could look like, and then using that knowledge to achieve not just financial freedom but also our greatest success.
You know what's one of the things Morgan talks about that never changes? Time. You, and I, and Morgan, and everyone from a Tibetan monk to a suburban mom to Bill Gates has — and forever will have — the same 24 hours every single day to accomplish — or fail to accomplish — everything they want to achieve in their one and only life.
I know, I know, Einstein would disagree with me on this, given his theory of relativity and all, but let's take the publication of our summary: The book came out yesterday. It's the fastest we've ever summarized a book. Why? Time!
Morgan's last book, The Psychology of Money, sold over 3 million copies. This year alone, over 20,000 people read our summary of it — but we published that summary almost 2 years after the book came out! How many more readers could we have reached if we'd summarized it right away? Who knows, but those 2 years of lost results are something we'll never get back — all because I failed to spend 2 hours summarizing the book for so long.
With an Athena Executive Assistant,* that wouldn't have happened. Let's play Einstein for a second: If it is true that time is consistent for everyone, then it must also follow that the only way to get more time, to have more than 24 hours in a day, is to take someone else's. It sounds harsh, but it's true. And you know who did that? Einstein!
Einstein's first wife, Mileva Marić, was a brilliant physicist in her own right, but most of the time, she took care of their 2 children at home while Einstein worked on his breakthroughs. She also helped him with his papers, though we don't know exactly how much.
Mileva wasn't always happy with their arrangement, and they eventually divorced — but she thought of a clever way to make sure she was compensated for her time: If Albert was to win a Nobel Prize, she would get all the money. Two years later, that's exactly what happened. The 121,000 Swedish krona, 12 years' worth of Einstein's salary, would go through many ups and downs but ultimately finance both Mileva and their two sons for the rest of their lives.
They say life is a game of give and take, and time is very much part of the equation: If you take someone else's time, you must give something back — and if the compensation is fair, everyone wins. Just like we hope to win when we trade our own time for writing books, summaries, or coming up with new ideas about the universe.

And here's what Ryan Hoover, the founder of Product Hunt (acquired by AngelList for $20M), has to say about his Athena Executive Assistant:*
But what about the other side of the curtain? For Athena assistants,* money is only one part of the give-and-take equation. To them, being an assistant and working with a seasoned professional like you is an incredible career opportunity. Plus, the benefit and support aren't bad either.
"The sense of community and culture that we cultivate in the company is by far the best I have ever witnessed in the many years I have worked anywhere. The support that I get from my managers and peers is exceptional. The benefits and perks are almost out of this world. I am not kidding. When you join us, you will understand," says Rex Suminguit, who worked at Athena for almost 4 years.
Time. The great equalizer. The one thing that's more evenly distributed than anything else in the world.
