Focus and the Difference Between Losing and Being Beaten

off topic: if the hacker news community is NOT familiar with farnam street and the person who writes the book reviews, shane parrish, you are in for a real treat. be prepared to linger. it is one of my favorite go-to sites for insight and inspiration. shane will introduce you to non-mainstream books that are mind altering.

the other day i noticed that he is accepting donations to buy books for kids to give out at christmas time. if are looking to give a gift that keeps on giving, i would suggest checking him out. i think there are some projects going on here in the usa, btw, if memory servers me correctly, shane is located in ottawa, ontario canada.

disclaimer: i have no connection to shane or his site. i am just a loyal lurker who reads and bookmarks his blog postings on a regular basis.
