613: The Future of Work, with Sean McCabe

In 'The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain,' Annie Murphy Paul argues that our minds are not confined to the brain but extend into our bodies, surroundings, and social relationships. The book explores embodied, situated, and distributed cognition, providing practical advice on how to think better by utilizing 'extra-neural' resources such as bodily sensations, physical spaces, and the minds of others. Paul draws on research from neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and psychologists, as well as examples from artists, scientists, and leaders who have successfully used these mental extensions to solve problems and create new works.

Overlap by Sean McCabe offers a practical approach to entrepreneurship by leveraging the stability of a day job to build a side business. The book provides strategies for managing time, finding motivation, and transitioning from a full-time job to a passion-driven career. It emphasizes the importance of gradual transition and avoiding financial risk.
