A collection of music, books, and whatever else I feel like sharing.

Fun Things

Some literature

Alchemy
Rory Sutherland

Book cover for "Alchemy" by Rory Sutherland featuring a golden gnome with its back to the viewer, pointing upward. The cover includes quotes praising the book, with a pink background and the Penguin logo in the top right corner.

A great read about why the best solutions are often not the logical ones.

“The trouble with market research is that people don't think what they feel, they don't say what they think, and they don't do what they say.”

Unreasonable Hospitality
- Will Guidara

Book cover titled "Unreasonable Hospitality" by Will Guidara, with a yellow background and bold black and white text.

A story of how a New York restaurant became #1 in the world by going above and beyond for their people (patrons and staff).

“People will forget what you do; they'll forget what you said. But they'll never forget how you made them feel.”

Almanack of Ravi Navikant:
A Guide to Wealth and Happiness

Book cover titled 'The Almanack of Naval Ravikant' by Eric Jorgenson, with a foreword by Tim Ferriss, and the subtitle 'A guide to wealth and happiness'.

A collection of nuggets on how to get the most out of life. Naval boils down complex ideas in a way that is simple and practical. Haven’t been this fizzed up by a book in a long time.

“Escape competition through authenticity.”

A playlist

Steezy Geezers

Black and white photo of two men wearing sunglasses, with long hair and beard, all with serious facial expressions.

100 Bangers from a time gone by.

An album

Chet Baker Sings - Chet Baker

Cover of a vintage record album titled 'Chet Baker sings' featuring black and white photographs of Chet Baker and a man holding a record with a list of artists, including Russ Freeman and James Bond. The album is from Pacific Jazz Records.

Sultry Sunday sorta sounds.

A song

Love Takes Miles - Cameron Winter

Young man with messy brown hair, wide eyes, and a serious expression, with chains draped over his face in front of a dark, horizontal line background.

A modern classic. Quite loose, and a bit weird. Hard to describe Cameron’s music. Give it a go and see for yourself.

Got any reccs for me?

Perhaps a book that’s made an impact, a tune you’ve been thrashing, an interesting substack article, or your new favourite nu-metal christian jazz band. If there’s something you like that you want to share, I strongly suggest you cough it up!

A little inspo

“Value your time. It is all you have. It’s more important than your money. It’s more important than your friends. It is more important than anything. Your time is all you have. Do not waste your time.

This doesn’t mean you can’t relax. As long as you’re doing what you want, it’s not a waste of your time. But if you’re not spending your time doing what you want, and you’re not earning, and you’re not learning—what the heck are you doing”

- Naval Ravikant
