Jason Fried
“We come in peace. We don’t have imperial ambitions. We aren’t trying to dominate an industry or a market. We wish everyone well. To get ours, we don’t need to take theirs. What’s our market share?

Costs under control, profitable sales.”
Jason Fried, It Doesn't Have to be Crazy at Work

Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph

“Over the long term, however, too much adrenaline produces scarring on the insides of your blood vessels. These scars become magnets for molecules to accumulate, creating lumps called plaques. These can grow large enough to block the blood vessels. If it happens in the blood vessels of your heart, you get a heart attack; in your brain, you get a stroke.”
John Medina, Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School

“Group norms, the researchers on Project Aristotle concluded, were the answer to improving Google’s teams. “The data finally started making sense,” said Dubey. “We had to manage the how of teams, not the who.”
