The 32 Principles: Chapter 23

Chapter 23

The Tagalong Principle

The Tagalong Principle teaches us to seize the “free rides” in a fight to save our energy while depleting the opponent's. In life, this principle encourages us to identify trends, innovations and opportunities that will help us reach our goals with greater efficiency.

In chapter twenty-three, Rener explains how he relied on the Tagalong Principle to steer clear of drugs and alcohol during his teenage years and how he intends to guide his sons along the same path.
