Enjoyed the piece on how men change in fatherhood. The best part was the quotes from dad’s at the end around what changed in them. “I do nothing I used to, I do things I never thought I would, I survive on less sleep than I ever thought and I love more than I believed…

So, just after talking about reading I find these quotes by Charlie Munger on reading. My favourite: We read a lot. I don’t know anyone who’s wise who doesn’t read a lot. But that’s not enough: You have to have a temperament to grab ideas and do sensible things. Most people don’t grab the right…

by
From ajay: How do we bring reading back? I ask myself this question as well but have a hard time finding an answer because I love to read. Heck I have a whole podcast dedicated to helping you find books that are going to matter to you. Maybe it starts with kids? I mean my…
