I’m taking a break from the newsletter through at least the end of the year. Thank you to all the loyal readers, especially those of you that write back regularly. In the meantime, I leave you with content on common themes of mine.
Abundance. How do we understand reality and use that knowledge to create more of the stuff we want? Read about the theory from David Deutsch’s Beginning of Infinity, critical rationalism, Pinker’s Enlightenment Now, and Ridley’s How Innovation Works ( my 5 star review). Learn about the political realities with Modern Power.
Founders Stories. I can’t get enough founder stories. Listen to classics like Startup season 1 or How I Built This. Dive in deep with Acquired or Founders. Or check out my podcast Startups for Good. If you want to understand the VC side, listen to The Limited Partner, Venture Unlocked, Turpentine VC, or Origins. Wanting more? Check out my startup reading list.
How to Live. How should we behave? There are many answers. Here are some I’ve found thought-provoking: How to Live, The Moral Landscape, 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, The Life You Can Save and Lying. If you’re a startup founder, read the Great CEO Within. If your goals are wealth check out How to Get Rich or I Will Teach You to be Rich.
