Books
Abundance, Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson — only a couple chapters in but so far fantastic. Definitely possible it’s one of the most influential books of the decade, seriously hoping it will be.
Stolen Focus, Johann Hari — really important subject matter. The first few chapters were very motivating to me but I’ve found it less valuable towards the middle.
