Reading:

I finished "Start With Why".  I stand by my original assertion that this book wasn't a total waste of time, but wasn't my favorite.  I didn't like how the author uses "why" as a noun.

The author shares an anecdote in the last chapter of the book that I liked:

"When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you.  But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you."

The author presents this in the context of a cross-country runner, who shows up every day with the singular focus of competing against himself.  The author offers this as an example of purpose-driven growth, and it is an example with broad application that I like.  I think it's a good way to look at the "growth mindset".

Notes:

Next I am going to read (listen to) "The Signal and The Noise" by Nate Silver.

Full steam ahead on the audiobook train!
