I like to frame “problems” as puzzles or opportunities instead, but my friend Luigi sent me this pic and I thought this was a cool broad summary, Yuval Noah Harari style.

I had been waiting for the release of this book for a while (was released this week), and it did not disappoint.

I’m all about it (learning across many disciplines and dimensions).

Link to the audiobook.

If you want to get a taste of the key ideas in the book, this is a great article about them (framed as “how to make your kids successful”): https://www.bakadesuyo.com/2019/05/kids-successful/

If you like podcasts, this was also a great interview with the author, on one of my favorite podcasts:

This one I’d love to hear your answers to — will do the social experiment again where I’ll compile the responses in a page (if you respond let me know if you would want to not be added or to be anonymous), and I’ll send the responses in next week’s newsletter:

My little brother Nico (who’s super into Youtube) sent me this Youtube channel Yes Theory a couple of months ago. Their message clicked with me, and it’s the first Youtube channel where I’ve been consistently watching their videos (they upload once a week). The one they uploaded today was about Matt doing an Iron Man — it was so inspirational that it made me cry (although I may have a low threshold for inspirational things making me cry).

This week it’s mostly a music-in-Spanish edition.

As always, let me know if you have ideas on how I can make these presents better, and if you have great content, send it my way — I’m just a reply away.

Hope you have a great week this week,

Valentin
