Holy cow, that is crazy praise coming from a thinker I admire 🙏
1/ I just finished one of the best books I've EVER read.
Comes out next week.
My friend @DavidEpstein (Range, The Sports Gene) has written a masterpiece on the virtue of constraints, of not thinking OUTSIDE the box but "INSIDE the BOX"...
As a few quick excerpts that 🤯...
Shout out to Inside the Box around 6:20
GM Ryan Poles is live with the media teapawt.org/i/broadcasts/1kKzDPZQA…

Ryan Poles shouts out David Epstein and his book Inside The Box when it came to thinking about how the Simmons trade could limit some flexibility in the future.
Well hey, that's pretty cool. Ryan has talked a lot about the importance of constraints in managing the @ChicagoBears rebuild
Ryan Poles just shouted out @DavidEpstein's new book "Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better." I can confirm it's very good.

The book Hotlist! Pretty neat: @ThisIsSethsBlog made a list of notable books that re-sorts itself based on those people click. I've read four of them in full, and parts of two others. Have you read any?? (Link in post below...)

Nunca había sido tan fácil hacer demasiado.✨
Hoy sale a la venta #DentroDeLaCaja, de @DavidEpstein, una obra en la que explica por qué los límites son la clave para estimular la creatividad, la innovación, la colaboración y la satisfacción personal.📚
Like what happened with Star Wars when George Lucas couldn't get the rights to Flash Gordon.

The NYT bestselling author @DavidEpstein asked me how I keep my business running while traveling as much as I do.
Short answer: I don’t. But deep time and adventure with my family is more important for this ‘too short’ season of my life. So, I do it anyway :)
“Perfect answer :)” He responded.
The next paragraph is possibly even better. (I read this @CaitlinPacific lede to people constantly)
If you get an email from the email below purporting to be me and expressing interest in your research or book, it is a scam. ...Although I'm sure your research/book is fascinating!

Fascinating applied case here. I feel lucky to have a reader like @ChrisBorland_ (link to his full article in next post)
He barred black so thoroughly that when they placed a black shroud over his coffin at the funeral, a friend screamed: "No! No black for Monet!" and went and found a floral table cloth.
Narrow restrictions force the brain into productive experimentation.
By banning black from his palette, Claude Monet was forced to paint light completely differently, launching the Impressionist movement.
