Hi all,

Nobody cares (article)

If you fail nobody will care about the reasons, so forget about all your legitimate excuses and press on.

Tyler Cowen’s Personal Moonshot (article)

“Rather than talk about moonshots we might take collectively, let me go small scale and lay out the "moonshot" I have tried to take with my own career. My goal is to be the economist who has most successfully used the internet as a platform to foment broad enlightenment.”

Smart people who accomplish big things also have horrible, terrible ideas (article)

“Some of the people who have most inspired me have been inexcusably wrong on basic issues. But you only need one world-changing revelation to be worth reading.”

Compress to impress (article)

Brand your ideas if you want them to travel.

Romney: A Reckoning (book)

McKay Coppins’ book on Mitt Romney.

Short, easy read. Some good behind-the-scenes details on his presidential campaigns and his time as a Senator.

Worth a read if you’ve ever been interested in Mitt.

See also the 2014 Netflix documentary about his presidential campaigns. It is excellent.
