Alissa’s Notes & Highlights

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

5 highlights

So being first isn’t special—it’s just annoying.

“The genuine love for reading itself, when cultivated, is a superpower. We live in the age of Alexandria, when every book and every piece of knowledge ever written down is a fingertip away. The means of learning are abundant—it’s the desire to learn that’s scarce. Cultivate that desire by reading what you want, not what you’re “supposed to.”
― Timothy Ferriss, Tribe Of Mentors: Transformative Wisdom From Icons and Innovators to Help You Navigate Life's Challenges

― Avi, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
