4.0

Good book, a little heavy on calling it all “negative thinking” since you can get caught in a cycle of meaning and re-defining things. But the basic idea of the book and the tools it points you too are stuff I’ve been diving into via other sources and it’s all great stuff. Cool to read his own journey into stoicism, meditation, and the anti-goal movement. All things I think are really helpful to us as humans and leaders. If you’re not familiar with those things, you did to drop what you’re doing and read this book.
