Thanks for the details, both anecdotes are very thought-provoking.
The "hone your skills so you can be more readily creative" has great resonance, especially. It's weird how so many things that are artful, effortless, beautiful are only that way because they're built on a bedrock of toil.
I mentioned these in another post, here they are again, it's what I've been reading the past couple weeks:
The Big Fat Surprise Toxic Superfoods The Carnivore Code The Great Plant Based Con
I'm about halfway through The Great Plant Based Con right now.
You'll notice a certain theme. Reading these pro-meat/anti-establishment food narrative books feels very similar to falling down the bitcoin rabbit hole. It's up-ending a lot of my previous assumptions. I'm not a carnivore (yet?) but I'm DEFINITELY making changes in my diet.
The Network State by Balaji is on tap for me this weekend
Couldn’t finish it all, any chance of a SN review afterwards?

I like the 10,000 hours concept in which we must put in 10,000 hours of deliberate effort in order to be excellent at something.
The thing is, because I’m interested in so many things, I rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, I feel like some of us on here are approaching his 10k hours rule to be experts in Bitcoin!
So many valuable lessons in there

A CEO Only Does Three Things by Trey Taylor
It’s interesting a lot of what he distills down are practical learnings if you are around lots of startups.
Would make sense, because he is by trade a consultant…I believe.
The title intrigued me. Have bookmarked your comment, thanks for sharing
