Some topics and quotes that I offer color commentary on: Mark Manson, author of Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, offers great one-liners relating to the clever title of his runaway bestselling book. This guy has really delivered a masterpiece and you should check it out. Mark, come on the podcast man: email [email protected]!

Tim Ferriss about having objectives and measurements for everything, and also on the dangers of email. I feel that one, ouch! What would we do without email? Ferriss is big on batching, which is a tough challenge at times, possibly due to humans being wired for that addictive hit of dopamine we get whenever we are exposed to fresh and novel stimulation in our environment. In primal times, it was a rustling in the bushes requiring our acuity. Today, each text message or new inbox arrival gives us that same hit of dopamine. We are drawn to novel stimulation as a hard-wired survival attribute. More commentary comes on quotes from Sam Harris and Dan Millman, on the topic of separating who you are from your thoughts.
