I have decided I am going to start keeping a journal. I listened to Tim Ferris’s interview with Penn Jillette, and I was really impressed with Penn’s journaling. He started keeping a journal when he was 30, and at the time he felt that it was already too late. He has kept the journal for […]
I also listened to Tim Ferris’s interview with Neil Degrasse Tyson. There are a few insights that I got from this interview.
