Hi everyone,
Here's your mini weekly trove of recommendations. If you enjoy it, please feel free to forward this along to friends.
How to Think for Yourself by Paul Graham
"In my experience, independent-mindedness and curiosity predict one another perfectly. Everyone I know who's independent-minded is deeply curious, and everyone I know who's conventional-minded isn't. Except, curiously, children. All small children are curious. Perhaps the reason is that even the conventional-minded have to be curious in the beginning, in order to learn what the conventions are. Whereas the independent-minded are the gluttons of curiosity, who keep eating even after they're full.”

I'm a fan of the deep dive lore videos Brian made at Polygon.com. He brings the same humor and easy teaching style to this guide. It's going to come in handy as I try to pick a plan through my work in the next few weeks.
This Quote from Robert Greene
"Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power."
