New books in 2026.................
..........Adam Grant has an interesting list. Having said that, methinks the focus for 2026 will be on the old, unread, books already on the bookshelves.
the controllable variable.............
The only controllable variable in any situation is you. Oddly, it’s the last one people adjust.
-Shane Parrish, from this edition
on finding the truth...................
I’m increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.
-Sahil Bloom, from here
About those good intentions............
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.
-Daniel Webster, as culled from here
They'd say you're a good man....................
Then again . . . I can’t help but try to resurrect all the ancestors — the ancients of days — who I’m sure would have birthed the same or similar thoughts bearing on the time left to them, and the speed with which life slipped through their fingers.
And I’d wonder what they’d say to me . . . ?
-Julian Summerhayes, from here
