Book Reviews

Shane Parrish: "A concise book of lessons drawn from the survey of history. The book comes highly recommended by someone I met at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting last weekend.

I can’t believe I haven’t read this before. I’ll be re-reading this a few times and I’ve started listening to the audio version in the car as well."

Naval Ravikant: "Concise and well written, summarizes the long arc of history with poetic insights."

Tim Ferriss: "Fantastic book. I read [The Lessons of History] because Ray Dalio recommended it."

Kevin Systrom: "It’s a great book."
