New podcast, education, life is a game, and Tom Brady
Some of you will be first-time recipients of this email - I realized some signups on my website weren't pushing emails to my email client, so welcome! (and sorry for the delay)
I spent the past week in LA, first for a conference, and then visiting some friends (who are working on this), and as usually happens when I have a long flight, it's been a productive week! I hope you had a great weekend as well.

Book Notes: Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me) - Carol Tavris & Elliot Aronson
An introduction to cognitive bias and self-justification that focuses on historical and real-world examples, including how relationships degrade, criminal investigations, and more. Great read, and a great introduction to the world of biases and mental models.
Watching:Tom vs. Time
Despite the Pats losing the Superbowl, Tom Brady is still planning to continue playing. This video series goes behind the scenes with him, examining different aspects of his training and game, and it's fascinating.
Have a great week!
