November Review and Preparing December
Meditations Highlights
Thank you all for being Big Nerds. I’ve enjoyed writing to you every day about Meditations, a book I return to time and again. Here are the three most viewed pieces from November :
“...You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think…”(2.11)
“A rock thrown in the air. It loses nothing by coming down, gained nothing by going up.” (9.17)
“It’s the pursuit of these things, and your attempts to avoid them, that leave you in such turmoil. And yet they aren’t seeking you out; you are the one seeking them.” (11.11)
Bonus - F*** ‘em
“Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people - unless it affects the common good. It will keep you from doing anything useful”
THIS MONTH HAS BEEN AWESOME! PLEASE FILL OUT THIS 1 MINUTE GOOGLE FORM SO WE CAN MAKE IT EVEN BETTER FOR DECEMBER!!
BigNerds Deep Cuts Coming Out Later Today!
“One in a Million is More Likely Than You Think”
The topic’s inspired by Nassim Taleb, a modern philosopher and statistician with a sharp tongue and unique ideas. More specifically, it’s about how we consider very low possibility events to be impossible but they always happen.
Clear Thinking - Prep Tomorrow
Starting tomorrow, daily emails will be about our new book, Clear Thinking by Shane Parrish. We’re not scheduled to start reading until Friday but we’ll spend a few days getting our brains ready for the book!
Live Meeting
Really excited to kick off with our first live meeting about the book! It’ll be December 3rd 1pm - I’m not gonna make you come, you don’t need to. It’s meant to be a fun way to get to know other Big Nerds and discuss the ideas we all just spent a month learning about.
Have an amazing day on purpose!
Your Friend,
Noah “BigNerd” Sochaczevski
