Russ is starting First Principles: What America’s Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country
Can an author with Trump Derangement Syndrome who sees a white supremacist behind every tree write a historical analysis of our founding fathers?

Russ is 85% done with The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success
Failing, with several caveats, is good for you and society at large. The largest caveat is proper risk management. Don't go "all in" on any one project, idea or aspect of your life. This was the useful piece of the book with some validating anecdotes. The rest of the book is neo-libertarian screed.

Russ is on page 4 of 160 of Why Liberty: Your Life, Your Choices, Your Future
Only four pages in and the author is already talking about pot. Pot, pot, pot. Is there no other measure of Liberty than what a bunch of white, middle class stoners want?

This is a long form sales letter for political consultants but the anecdotes are usually interesting

Spoilers - there were lots of Nazis and Nazi apologists in the founding of the BIS. I hope the author moves on from this.
