"Let your mind become a lens, thanks to the converging rays of attention; let your soul be all intent on whatever it is that is established in your mind as a dominant, wholly absorbing idea."

A mind-expanding look at how humans rose to dominate the world. Not just through strength, but through shared stories — money, nations, beliefs. We live inside ideas we collectively agree are real. #History #Mindset #Books
Very interesting book, I’d recommend this to anybody.

You need to read more, and you need to consume less. You need to set aside time to do a workout for the mind, and you need to give it time to recover. Especially now that it's so easy for your cognitive capacity to atrophy. Refuse to become mentally obese.

Well… currently reading Elon Musk.
Just a reminder that these Walter Isaacson books exist to be read again and again. Ben Franklin, Da Vinci, Steve Jobs, Einstein, and Elon Musk have all inspired many of the greats, and will continue to do so. What is your favorite Walter Isaacson book?
