Quotes by Srikumar Rao (?)

“So much of academic “research” seemed so utterly bereft of any redeeming or lasting value that I could not fathom how bright, even brilliant, people could be so wrapped up in it.”
― Srikumar Rao, Are You Ready to Succeed?: Unconventional Strategies to Achieving Personal Mastery in Business and Life

“Knowing that you are living in a dreamworld is actually very liberating, because it gives you the option of waking up. I sincerely hope that you are ready to do so. If you are not yet ready to do so, you have another option—you can at least create a new, better dreamworld.”
