So people generally liked my last newsletter, and I’m having fun with this. So here’s to round 2.

Outputs (things I've recently made)

A post about my war against push notifications.

A post about how I view customer education.

Inputs (newly found learnings)

Reads:

Book: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

This is the quintessential treatise on Stoicism, and the type of book you read for 5 minutes then put down and think about for an hour.

Managing brain resources in an age of complexity.

From a new part of my website where I stash quotes I like - a story of nonreactionism. We can’t really know if things are good or bad in the moment.

Video:

22. Emergence and Complexity

Recently rediscovered this lecture from Robert Sapolsky.

New video from my favorite thing on YouTube.

Tools n' Apps:

Random + Updates

Here is a tree that I like in Dorothea Dix Park.

Next week I’ll be in Saint Louis (we are working on expanding beta to STL.) Let me know if there is anyone interesting I should meet while in town.

Remember to join the slack group to post things you think should be in this newsletter and discuss something you found here.

See you next time :)
