💌 6 Things Thursday
Hi there,
Here's another microdose of things I consumed this week--written by me, Raad—CEO of Lawtrades and creator of this experiment, spacecult.
1/ An article I read
2/ A book I’m reading
How to Take Smart Notes - by Sönke Ahrens
This book discusses a system to keep tracking of our ever-increasing pool of knowledge in a way that helps us grow our intellectual development while connecting different ideas together to generate new ones.
3/ A memo that inspired
A 40 year old Nike internal memo written by their first marketing head Rob Strasser
4/ A documentary I watched
The Social Dilemma (Netflix)
Exceptional criticism from years of work from the Center For Humane Technology led by former Google designer Tristan Harris on how social media companies profit from sucking up as much attention as possible with total disregard to our goals or values.
5/ A feeling illustrated
Converting vague feelings into written words leads to surprising insights and clarity.
6/ A tweet I saved
Eloquence = habit of writing
Knowledge = habit of reading
Happiness = habit of gratitude
Growth = habit of self-reflection
Calmness = habit of mindfulness
Love, friendship = habit of listening
Wealth = habits of investing, building
