Beckham, Psychology Myths, & Travel Bags

Happy Thursday !

Late yet again, but it's been a busy week with the holidays. Happy Canada Day to Canadians, and happy 4th to all my American friends. I hope you all get some time to relax!

Articles I'm Reading:

16 Popular Psychology Myths You Probably Still Believe - Nat Eliason: interesting rundown of some popular psychology studies that may not be so valid, and the reasons why.

Amazon just made an eye-popping play to disrupt drug stores - Vox: Big news for Boston startup PillPack, which went through Techstars Boston (where I worked) - they got acquired by Amazon. The Amazon effect: "The news was considered so disruptive that shares for Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid immediately lost $11 billion in value."

How David Beckham Became the Most Marketable Man in the World - Racked: Interesting profile of how David Beckham has evolved his career over time.

Book I'm Reading: Thinking Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman

A dense book on how we think and make decisions from the perspective of "System One" - fast/intuitive/"animal" brain - and "System Two" - our logical, deliberate mind. A long book, but very interesting read.

Product I'm Using: Aer Flight Pack

I got this as a daily carry/travel bag, and so far I'm loving it. Aer has some great-looking bags that I've been wanting to try out, and so far this hasn't disappointed. One feature that sold me was the ability to use it as a shoulder bag, which I've been wanting for when I travel for work, particularly to conferences and meetings, and don't want to be the guy carrying the backpack around.

Have a great week!
