My New Job, Favorite Book, Recommendations and Learning to Sleep Better
I hope you're having a great week! Here are some things I've been checking out and working on the last week:
Blog Post I Wrote:I Have a New Job
I've been meaning to write this post since starting six weeks ago, but it's been busy! This post explains why I left my startup, and why I'm excited about this new opportunity.
Book Notes I Added:Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse
This is the book I often answer with when asked what my "favorite" book is. It's a short read, universally applicable, and full of wisdom about life.
Articles I'm Reading:
- Growth Reading List - Dan Hockenmaier - I'm slowly working through this list, and it's solid. Several are articles I've earmarked previously. Great read for anyone in a startup or growth role.
- Newsletter Recommendation List - Lenny Rachitsky - Another list which includes many of my favorites. If you do subscribe to any that you enjoy, please let me know!
- Movies similar to Adventureland - Reddit - Adventureland is one of my favorite summer coming-of-age movies (preferably watched outdoors), and this list is full of others that are good, and that I'll be checking out.
Book I'm Reading:Why We Sleep - Matthew Walker
I just finished this book, and it was...scary. Good scary though. The science behind sleep has come a long way, and the list of health issues it is being proven to affect is growing. Needless to say, I've been prioritizing good sleep even more.
Product I'm Checking Out:Notion
Notion is billing themselves as an all-in-one replacement of Evernote, Google Docs, task management apps, and more. I haven't gotten into it much yet, but I'm looking at using it as a central tool for my personal projects. Nat Eliason has a good write-up on how he's using it here.
Have a great week!
Graham
