Curate Curators To Guide Reading
- We live in an age of information superabundance requiring curation.
- Trust curated sources and institutions to surface worthwhile reads outside your bubble.
Read Opposing Thinkers To Understand Them
- Read works by thinkers you disagree with to understand and 'steel man' their positions.
- Study formative inputs of influential people to engage them more fairly and reduce outrage.
Use Multipliers To Amplify Teams
- Read Multipliers by Liz Wiseman to spot leaders who amplify versus limit others.
- Use its framework to intentionally become a multiplier rather than an unintentional diminisher.
