@david_perell Finished A History of Western Philosophy, by Bertrand Russell: 1,200 pages, still working through War and Peace: 1,300 pages. If you spend a lot of time on social media, you need big books on the other end of your barbell.

@awilkinson Heard an unpopular opinion from a successful entrepreneur who reads very little. He read few books, but deeply, and applied what he learned. His favorites were The One Thing and Ray Dalio's Principles. When it comes to business books, I can't disagree!

8. “Public Relations” originator Edward Bernays hired women to smoke while marching in the 1929 Easter Sunday Parade. This pseudo-event branded cigarettes as “torches of freedom” symbolizing woman empowerment, helping boost profits for client, American Tobacco Company. https://t.co/qKZRA3Lbl4
