From my friend @celinegounder. I am missing Grant too. He should be here. For his journalism and so many other things. The world became less with his far too soon departure. If he were here he would have a lot to say, including Vamos Argentina 🇦🇷 celinegounder.com/p/grant-wa…

Should the federal government force insurers and PBMs to divest medical service providers in order to prevent the rise of health care prices and spending? This JAMA Viewpoint shares my thoughts on this policy idea. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… @Kennedy_School @HarvardHBS @HBSHealth

@jenniferdoleac new book (The Science of Second Chances) is a fascinating walk through the science of recidivism. Our cities would be both safer and more fair if more people in power read it and applied it.

GUESS WHO MADE THE INDIE LIST? I could not be more excited to have The Price of Mercy on this list---this is the *indie* list, meaning books that are selling well at real brick-and-mortar bookstores, and indie sellers online...ergo my readers are the coolest ;)

🚨📕 THE BOOK OF ELON IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎉🚀 This is the book we WISHED @elonmusk would write… “All of Elon's most useful ideas, in his own words.” Learn directly from the world’s greatest entrepreneur, like you’re sitting across from him at dinner. It took FIVE YEARS to make this for you. Because it's built from hundreds and hundreds of Elon's public appearances. I went through 3,000,000 words to collect the most useful and timeless ideas. The final book is ~50,000 words. Every word is USEFUL. (This is what I do. My first book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, is one of the top 100 most highlighted books of all time on Kindle.) Then, I spent $50,000 on editing and design so it looks and feels beautiful. Then… > Foreword by @naval. > Visuals by @jackbutcher. > Blurb from @mrbeast. > Published by @scribemediaco. > And yes, approval on this idea from Elon himself, thanks to @samteller. I went Maximum Effort to make this an all-timer. We got 10/10 on reviews from early readers, then worked on it for ANOTHER YEAR. Why so much effort? My mission is to create One Million Musks. For a generation to lift our gaze and build, so our grandchildren live in a world beyond our wildest dreams. I’m an independent author. I don’t get an advance. I risk my own time and money to make these books. Then we give away millions of them. Digital versions are free. I believe this book can benefit every human, and if you can’t pay five bucks for it, I want to personally gift it to you. Because I know it is useful. Useful how? You may be seeking purpose, a mission worthy of your life’s effort. You may have a clear purpose and seek the tools for success. You will find both in this book. Get the benefits of Elon’s entire life of hard-won lessons in a five-hour, easy read. (I checked, it’s a 5th-grade reading level.) You’ll feel personally mentored by the greatest entrepreneur in history. Click below to buy it now on Amazon, Audible, or directly from me.

Excellent piece from @zackcooperYale on why US health care costs are so high — prices, admin costs from tying coverage to your work, expectation to adopt the newest tech regardless of value — and the choices available to address them. nytimes.com/2025/12/10/opini…

Hype or hope? Multi-cancer blood tests promise to spot dozens of cancers early- but does the evidence stack up? Today on @BBCFileOn4 I dig into one of medicine’s toughest topics: screening, & what this new tech might really mean for patients & the NHS bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002l35…

And that is assuming the interest rate is the same for 50 and 30 years. But very likely to be considerably higher given the longer risk horizon.

Thinking about my dad, Fritz Bach, today. Stateless in 1948, disembarked the Marine Tiger at New York harbor, welcomed to this country of unlimited potential. Every time we were in Times Square he would tell me about the night he saw it for the first time with his brother Bert.
