Isabel Wilkerson
“Caste is insidious and therefore powerful because it is not hatred, it is not necessarily personal. It is the worn grooves of comforting routines and unthinking expectations, patterns of a social order that have been in place for so long that it looks like the natural order of things.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Siddharth Kara

No company wants to concede that the rechargeable batteries used to power smartphones, tablets, laptops, and electric vehicles contain cobalt mined by peasants and children in hazardous conditions.”
Siddharth Kara, Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives

George Leonard
“Excessive use of external motivation can slow and even stop your journey to mastery.”
George Leonard, Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment

Hank Green
“What is reality except for the things that people universally experience the same way?”
Hank Green, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

“I don’t need to do more smart things. I just need to do fewer dumb things. I need to avoid making emotional decisions and swinging at bad pitches. I need to think!”
