Have you read an something lately that made you stop and think?

I watch a couple of video clips from XiaoHongShu ("little red book", which is the video version of Instagram in China), found that people using systematic tools for reading (stickers, pens and the way they read). So I started to learn from them. It is great to improve my reading. And I prefer read slow now than fast.

I have been reading a lot of philosophy lately. This feels hyper relevant in our current world. Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. – Lao Tzu

"Escaping the build trap" by Melissa Perri.

Read this marketing psychology tip shared by the CEO of uSERP Jeremy Moser. "Nostalgia is a positive emotion based on affection for the past. Nostalgia can fuel effective ad campaigns by eliciting happy memories and building product / brand association with those feelings." https://twitter.com/jmoserr/stat...

I've been reading 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think by Brianna Wiest and it's amazing so far.

Maybe not tweet or article, but a book – definitely worth mentioning. After two chapters my mind was like crazy; I couldn't stop thinking. Good strategy, bad strategy; I think it's the best book on this subject I have seen: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Stra...

When Thich Nhat Hanh passed away, I borrowed his 1990 book 'Peace is Every Step' from the library. It's largely credited with kickstarting the mindfulness movement in North America. It's a short read with chapters that are two-to-three pages long. Read a few pages each day, go for a walk, and you'll see the world differently. His teachings feel especially relevant today.

Something interesting I read this week was this article by Jonathan Hsu from Social Capital that talks about how to quantify how well your product is doing in terms of retention / distribution (growth accounting) Would defo recommend 👉 https://medium.com/swlh/diligenc...

Yes, not just defining success but also defining how failure would look like and planning for a strategy that can help scale but definitely move away from failure. I am a founder bootstrapping my startup Founders' Book (https://foundersbook.co/) and this is a great insight for me to get the cash flow right.

This literally made me go holy shit!! This was mind opening for me. https://twitter.com/averma12/sta...

This article by Paul Graham really made me think about how I can use my time most effectively, especially considering I'm a manager http://paulgraham.com/makerssche...

Considering the market uncertainty, this is something for sure worth reading. Written by a16z. Discusses the metrics that matter most in down markets, particularly Burn Multiple. https://future.a16z.com/framewor...

Few things these past few days have made me think: 1. A list on how to go about effectively measuring/tracking your project: Have things been easier, more difficult, or just as expected?  What lessons have you learned so far that will help you moving forwards?  What changes do you need to make? What should you do more or less of to succeed? Are you on track to achieve your goal ( ideal weight, business income goal, mileage clocked)? What have the biggest challenges been so far in working towards your goal and what have you done to overcome them? What possible obstacles are coming up?  2. That Leonardo da Vinci wrote 13,000 pages of notes and drawings. << Taken from book 'Make Time'

Yes, a self help book by Sadhguru named "Mind is your business"

This was very inspiring topic for me: https://bigthink.com/thinking/jo... ^_^

Essentialism The power of habit

oh yeh when i saw an article on CoinShots Crypto about the price crash of LUNA $8000 to $0 that certainly stopped me in my tracks

How to put life on Easy Mode Common sense that we all need to be reminded of. Simplify and enjoy the process. That's what I needed to understand. And it's within my power. https://zenhabits.net/easy/

I started my week with this article from @davidhoang's newsletter Proof of Concept: https://davidhoang.substack.com/... It takes a thought-provoking look at when and why we should design with metaphors in mind for the end users. He even gives a little history on why the earliest iPhone apps tended to use skeuomorphic design (I had no idea)!
