Life-essential lessons
from the book
that changed my life

The key takeaways from Mark Manson’s “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”, commented and expanded on by yours truly.

I loved this book so much,
I got it as a gift for all my friends

This essay is not quite the same as the book, because it’s turned into something more.
It started as a review. I read the book twice, then I listened to it twice on Audible. But I still didn’t feel that I had internalized it enough – I needed to write about it. But what started out as a review grew into something more: it’s now a personal manifesto.

DeepSeek Breaks the AI Paradigm

I’ve received emails from readers asking my thoughts on DeepSeek. I need to start with two warnings. First, the usual one: I’m a generalist value investor, not a technology specialist, so my knowledge of AI models is superficial. Second, and more unusually, we don’t have all the facts yet.
