Sunday Good Reads
Howard Lindzon
December 08, 2019
First off…I want to thank everyone in this community for the thousands of well wishes the last few weeks. It made a big difference getting notes of encouragement and support.
I think it will take another month of rest at home to regain my stamina and mobility but I now see a light at the end of the tunnel. I definitely did not see that just last week.
I wanted to share some great reads I have come across the last few days.
Fist off is a latest Paul Graham essay (YCombinator founder) titled ‘The Lesson To Unlearn‘
This GQ article titled ‘The Great Chinese Art Heist‘ is pretty wild.
The ‘Jungle Prince of Delhi‘ is a fantastic NY Times piece.
This Justin Jackson piece titled ‘Moving On‘ is a bit of a different take on what it takes to be successful…
In our culture, stopping is often seen as failure. We’re taught to persevere; to keep going. But we need to emphasize the opposite: people should feel free to quit.
Most of the successful people I know are good at quitting! When things aren’t working, they move on:
Last but not least, my sweet ‘fashology’ trend is in the news a lot recently but mostly about the damage that ‘fast fashion’ and the fashology products of $LULU are causing the environment. Have a read of ‘Microfibers Are The New Microbeads. Grab Your Pitchforks.’
I don’t think this story will be going away anytime soon and the industry will have to make major improvements to processes.
Have a great Sunday.
