My Favourite Book of the Year, Slowly Read

It took me two weeks, and halfway through I went back to re-read the preface — the author had buried the whole point right there.

Ideas that made me stop and write

• Most anxiety comes from confusing "important" with "urgent"
• The hard part of long-term thinking is tolerating weeks without visible payoff
• You have absorbed a book when you can explain it to someone else

The best reading feels like the author is finishing your sentences for you.

My highlight list is below — I would love to compare notes.
