Description

Every episode we explore a Lindy book, and find ideas you can use in business and life. rationalvc.com. Learn from history's greatest intellectuals, investors, scientists, and founders. “Rationality is not just something you do so that you can make more money, it is a binding principle. Rationality is a really good idea. You must avoid the nonsense that is conventional in one’s own time. It requires developing systems of thought that improve your batting average over time… And in my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time – none, zero.”—Charlie Munger
