Have you ever started a project that you vastly underestimated in terms of effort and time? I can think of several life-changing, long-lasting projects that started with "Please can you work on this little thing for the next 3 weeks?"... My love of sailing lead me to stumble an incredible story of someone who took on way too much and achieved the impossible. This is a story about apprenticeship, team-building and communication at its finest. https://lnkd.in/dCUsbf8y

Here are few quotes from the book ”Same as Ever” 1. “Change captures our attention because it’s surprising and exciting. But the behaviors that never change are history’s most powerful lessons, because they preview what to expect in the future.” 2. “People like to say, ‘To know where we’re going, you have to know where we’ve been.’ But more realistic is admitting that if you know where we’ve been, you realize we have no idea where we’re going. Events compound in unfathomable ways.” 3. “Predicting what the world will look like 50 years from now is impossible. But predicting that people will still respond to greed, fear, opportunity, exploitation, risk, uncertainty, tribal affiliations, and social persuasion in the same way is a bet I’d take.” 4. “The biggest risk and the most important news story of the next ten years will be something nobody is talking about today. No matter what year you’re reading this book, that truth will remain.” 5. “We are very good at predicting the future, except for the surprises—which tend to be all that matter.” 6. “Today’s economy is good at generating three things: wealth, the ability to show off wealth, and great envy for other people’s wealth.” 7. “Bad news gets more attention than good news because pessimism is seductive and feels more urgent than optimism.” 8. “The irony is that growth and progress are way more powerful than setbacks. But setbacks will always get more attention because of how fast they occur.” 9. “The best story wins. Not the best idea, or the right idea, or the most rational idea. Just whoever tells a story that catches people’s attention and gets them to nod their heads is the one who tends to be rewarded.” 10.“Every investment price, every market valuation, is just a number from today multiplied by a story about tomorrow.” 11. If you’ve relied on data and logic alone to make sense of the economy, you’d have been confused for a hundred years straight…So much of what happens in our economy is rooted in emotions, which can, at times, be nearly impossible to make sense of.” 12. “When an economy is stable, people get optimistic. When people get optimistic, they go into debt. When they go into debt, the economy becomes unstable…Stability is destabilizing.” 13. “Everything feels unprecedented when you haven’t engaged with history.” 14. “A good summary of investing history is that stocks pay a fortune in the long run, but seek punitive damages when you demand to be paid sooner.” 15. “Good news comes from compounding, which always takes time, but bad news comes from a loss in confidence or a catastrophic error that can occur in a blink of an eye.”

Happy Leap Day! So, 3 months ago today my novel Loophole was released. And it’s been really good—I’ve had some great in-person events and my publisher, Black Rose Writing, has helped get the book into the hands of way more readers than I could have reached on my own. However, even though we’ve reached hundreds of customers, we’re still in great need of more reviews—especially on Amazon and Goodreads. So if you’ve had a chance to read Loophole but haven’t posted a review yet, I encourage you to do so as soon as you can! On the other hand, if you haven’t been able to finish it yet, no worries; there’s no rush. Here are links to the book’s page where you can post reviews. It doesn’t have to be long—a sentence or even just a rating helps a ton and brings us closer to additional marketing opportunities. (It will get a major boost at 25 reviews, and later at 50.) Thanks for all your support! https://lnkd.in/gbvT_55r https://lnkd.in/gg3ZMf9h
