Psychology of Persuasion, Great Whites, & Kitesurfing in Scotland

Happy Wednesday !

I hope you're having a great week. Here are some things I've been checking out and working on the last week:

Book Notes: Poor Charlie's Almanack & Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion

Poor Charlie's Almanack is one of the best books on improving your own thinking, and both books are a great introduction to "mental models" - thinking tools that can help you make better decisions throughout your life. Influence is a must-read for anyone involved in marketing and sales, though will be useful for all. Recommend both.

Articles I'm Reading:

Meet Nova and Jefferson : OCEARCH tags two great whites in Nova Scotian waters - Halifax Today: Ocearch is a research group tagging primarily sharks worldwide, to learn more about them. They recently began looking for sharks near where I grew up, and tagged two great whites the other day - 11ft and 12.5+ft respectively. Fascinating to see them, though no doubt there are many more than the ones they tag around, and have been for thousands of years.

Mark Brown's tweet on AI car avoidance - Twitter: this tweet caused me no end of entertainment...very funny to watch.

Lego built a Bugatti Chiron - Twitter: if you're wondering what childhood me would have said was his dream job (had he known it existed), this is probably it. Super cool project.

What I'm Watching: Manera - Islands of the Strangers

This 9-minute film, primarily shot in the Hebridean islands of Scotland features some amazing kiteboarding and surf footage, all surrounded by stunning landscapes.

Have a great week!
