These 5 Subjects Will Make You Rich, Happy, and Free
Why school left you unprepared (and how to fix it)
This is the 334th consecutive post on MrEmogical Notes. If you’ve been following this series and are finding value from this blog/ newsletter, please consider sharing this post with one person who you feel needs to read this for their betterment.
Introduction
Let’s be honest! School taught us a lot, but it missed out on some of the most important subjects that we actually need in real life.
Whether you’re a professional, a business owner, a freelancer, or someone trying to figure life out, these five subjects will shape your success more than anything else.
01 - Physical health and nutrition
We're not getting any younger.
Yet, most of us have no clue how our body works or what it really needs.
Nutrition knowledge? Almost zero.
We confuse being thin with being healthy. We don’t know the difference between macronutrients and micronutrients. And most importantly, we think working out is optional.
Here’s the truth:
You’ll only be able to enjoy the life and the wealth you create if your body supports you.
So the earlier you learn about nutrition, movement, and how to take care of your physical well-being, the longer and happier your journey will be.
02 - Breathwork, meditation, and mental health
We live in a world where mental health issues have been normalised.
Anxiety is normal. Burnout is normal. Stress is normal.
But that’s not okay.
It's time we flip the script. Being mentally healthy should be normal.
Start with simple tools like breathwork or meditation.
Understand what’s good for your brain and nervous system.
Protect your peace.
Even 10 minutes a day can help you build the emotional strength to deal with everything life throws at you.
03- Personal finances
Don’t roll your eyes. This isn’t just about budgeting.
You can’t escape personal finance.
The sooner you learn how to:
- Track every rupee you earn
- Be disciplined with your money
- Invest wisely
- Create multiple income streams...
The more control you’ll have over your future.
And no, passive income isn’t some sketchy scheme that a random Instagram coach is selling.
It’s about building real income from real assets—investments, content, businesses, systems.
Every rupee saved and invested takes you closer to true freedom.
04- Neuroscience
Sounds complicated, right?
It’s really not.
Neuroscience is just about understanding how your brain works and how to use it better.
From habits to goals to motivation, your brain controls everything, and once you learn how to work with your brain, not against it, life becomes easier.
Want to break bad habits? Build new ones? Stay focused? Feel happier?
Neuroscience has the tools. You just need to learn how to use them.
05 - Sales
You may think, “I’m not in sales.”
But here’s the twist:
Everything in life is sales.
Convincing your team to support an idea = sales
Asking for a raise = sales
Proposing to someone = sales
Getting your kids to finish homework = sales
Sales is not about “selling” products.
It’s about understanding people.
It’s about communication, persuasion, and emotional intelligence.
The better you are at sales, the better your relationships, career, and business will be.
Food for thought
If you want to live a happy, wealthy, and meaningful life, you need to fill the gaps that school left behind.
Start with these 5 subjects.
Even basic knowledge in each of these can change your life trajectory in less than a year.
