Thank you for continuing to share this each week. I look forward to it each week.
For what it’s worth, my favorite newsletter of yours was “Employee of the Month” about numbers and ratings. There’s a lot of worldview I’ve sourced from stuff you’ve written, but those last two paragraphs there did more to free me from that compulsion for “more” than anything else I’ve ever heard, thought, seen, or read. Thank you for that.
Thanks again for this newsletter, always a great accompaniment to my weekend coffee and somewhat of a tradition at this point. In addition to your book, which I enjoyed immensely, thanks for directing me to "Among the Bros". That was a fascinating cultural snapshot, and a reminder that Greek culture hasn't changed that much even in this supposedly enlightened age.
My first 2 sons have eschewed Greek life at their respective schools, and despite being a fraternity alumnus myself, I am relieved for this. Not to paint too broad of a brush on that system, but I recall how much minor bad behavior escalated like a snowball downhill in that environment and that book brought a lot of those memories back. They sure look different 3 decades later.
Thank you for this. And that book sure opened some eyes around here as well. Not least of which I finally learned that I'd been being called a "GDI" all these years!
The Time Has Come is a great book. Timely, authentic. Dealing with Covid in a way that will let generations to come get a feel for the shitshow that was. I don’t say this all lightly. It would make a great TV series too. I hope a show runner you know is thinking the same thing, or perhaps is reading your substack and gets an inkling to read the book now … because of this comment? Hehe

Thank you! I think about that one a lot ... basically any time I read anything online, I have to say.

Wow, thank you for this, so much. From your lips to god's ears! Happy new year!
The Time Has Come was my favorite book of the year. I think I will reread it in 2024. Happy New Year.
Thanks! Great to hear, particularly as I'm deep in the weeds on the next one!
