This is exceptionally wise.

Most advice on handling conflict is just feel-good talk. Here’s what I’ve learned through navigating family business complexities, severe financial losses, and personal trauma... Conflict, like an endurance race, isn’t about avoiding pain—it’s about using it to grow.…

Listened to @Naval's perspective on happiness in a podcast, and it really resonated with me: "Self-obsession is the root of all unhappiness. The happiest people in life love something more than they love themselves. They love their children, they love God, they love their…

No industry puts more relative resources into talent evaluation than pro football. That Bryce Young, the #1 overall pick of the '23 NFL draft and widely deemed the most pro-ready QB, is already labeled as a huge bust is telling about the limitations of expert consensus.

This resonates with me as I ask myself why I re-upped my Bloomberg column contract at the same nominal salary without even attempting to negotiate for a higher fee.

My wife Christina Patterson’s new paper (w/ her excellent co-authors @JADHazell @ChenLian92 @jptguerreiro) is now out at @nberpubs, so I’m excited to share more about what I (biased though I am) think is a very nice insight on the nature of inflation and why people hate it (1/n)

Elon Musk: The countless regulations are an invisible tax on humanity, as they impede progress in many areas. For example, SpaceX was fined simply for releasing safe, drinkable water. At this rate, we’ll never get to Mars. "You really can think of the United States and many…


There is a deep wisdom in this. Consider sitting with it awhile. #TheOneSecretPath

#TheOneSecretPath The secret path to success, and happiness, and joy, and, and fulfillment, and wisdom, and freedom... it's all the same path, isn't it? SUBMISSION. Submitting to a goal. Submitting to another soul. Submitting to a mission. Submitting to service.…

Invisibility corrupts.

Early in the conversation, @tylercowen poses a question on invisibility: COWEN: Now, you’ve written a book on invisibility. After I read your book, I was wondering, how much would it be worth today to be . . . Wells’s The Invisible Man. Say you’re an able-bodied 30-year-old man…

I was talking to the founder of a very successful startup, and he said the best time was in the first few years, when they were just a handful of smart people trying to solve hard problems, and no one expected anything of them.


Corrollary: You drive down your team’s IQ when you give them a bunch of rules to follow.
